Strange but addictive I wanted to see what would happen the more I tryed it was difficult but playable.

It looks pretty cool, but I need to have love2d to run it? (whatever that is) Some instructions for how to run it would be appreciated.

Got an error. Missing "MSVCR110.dll" from my computer. Had to download a redist to get it. Might want to include that, or something of that sort.

Not sure what was going on, but it seemed to speed up on occasion.

Interesting idea, though in some ways it was a little frustrating constantly getting set back; I think I would've preferred it if, instead of X seconds passing and me getting set back, I only get set back on death. But you may have tried that and liked the current way better, regardless it was well made!

There is way too much going on, not obvious what to do

I took a while until I figured out what to do and I got somewhere. It was pretty hard to play through with constantly getting set back. Overal great idea and pretty fun, but it needs some more balance.

The game looks like as if it's running too fast on my pc.
Also - I wasn't really sure what to do other then to run to the right.
The name is definetely gold though!

Nice graphics, takes a bit of time to work out what the hell is going on. Kinda fun though

Found it pretty good fun; with a bit of polish, this could be something special.

Interesting concept. I get some massive slow down the later the game goes. I'm guessing you don't clean up the bullets efficiently enough.

Cool mechanic and I'm impressed you got it to work. I was a bit confused at the start, I thought the sudden jumps were caused by a bug, so I think next time you should focus more on explanation or more audiovisual cues for the time jumps.

Ran really aweful on my system, not sure if it's platform specific. Running on Windows 7 here.

Very very hard. Love the idea and looked cool, but could barely get past the first screen! :)

Interesting and unusual concept! Very difficult though. I constantly felt like I didn't have anywhere near enough time before time travelling(?)

The warpback mechanic was never really used for anything and only felt odd and misplaced. Remembering where you were 5 seconds ago so that you can avoid shots is not really easy especially for a mechanic that doesn't add anything. The 3 levels seemed nice but constantly being chased by an army of enemies made it hard to really experience them. The shooting sound quickly got quite annoying.

I like the graphic but the main mechanic is somewhat misplaced.

Nice concept, pretty confusing at first but part of the fun was figuring out what was going on! I think a little more variety in the sound effects would have helped as it started to sound a little repetitive. Original.

Never could get past level two, but it was an interesting game. It was weird trying to figure out how it worked, but even after I understood it I still didn't do very well haha. Loved the design of Juan.
