Quite tricky to get the hang of, but really fun once I got the controls down. I got stuck a few times where even reversing time didn't save me, but I don't think that is a fault with the game.

Maybe a fadein\/out would have helped with that. Also the darkgreen on blue made it difficult to see the ship. The red line of site was an interesting idea, but I guess you didn't have enough time to hide the barriers in the red? or was it just a cosmetic thing. Ultimately, though, the game wasn't really that difficult, and really only used the time rewind mechanic when I just a path that didn't have an exit since the visibility was low.
