Time Forest by Denzil Gomes

You awaken in a large forest and are greeted by a mysterious being. A short action platformer in which you you only have a few seconds to make progress before you are rewound back to your start point. Collect time fruit to increase your maximum time. Usual not enough time excuses, but I had fun getting this done. Looking forward to your feedback thanks
Art was an asset pack from user maaot on itch.
dialogue box art from a humble bundle.
Code was my own.
No time for music...suprise suprise
Arrows to move and jump.
X to swing your sword.
Enter to close dialogue.
P.s ran out of time. The last dialogue is more to myself.

Great job !
@griddolini smaller levels is a good idea I think that would work well. I was meant to have more rock portals. especially above the start point and that was meant to get you closer to an area you were when you found the corresponding portal but ran out of time. thanks for checking it out
@frosty thank you, there was meant to be a shield ability and a boss fight with a vine monster too lol I'm delusional when it comes to scope
@nardandas Happy to hear you played it al, makes it worth the effort.
@essarrgee no it isn't just you, improving that was on my to do list just didnt get round to it. I wanted particles to fly back to here you were kind of like Celeste, but you're right a simple delay would have improved that a lot
@gnx thank you, you had a good amount of content in yours too.
My advice, without suggesting stuff that would take a lot of stuff to do, is that I would've liked if the crystals were more evenly spread out in the progression. Perhaps one behind the first layers of vines to the left. That way- you feel like you are getting closer all the time.
Overall, very fun game!
After trying multiple times, it was fun to play.

Thanks for submitting your game!
@eldelhas yeah that last line was more to myself lol, I wasn't sure I'd make it. thanks for trying it out!
@invixel thanks for the good feedback, I agree with spacing out the crystals. They really were a last minute addition
@gurigraphics that is true. Next time I will start with sound. I thought I'd leave it until the polish stage...but I didn't really get there . Thanks for checking it out.
@mumaitron I'm glad you liked it. I wasted a lot of time figuring out how to do it lol. thanks for checking it out
@sininenblue thanks for checking it out. Yeah I had wanted combos for the sword swipe and a vine monster boss, hopefully I get time management better next time
@nicardo I always seem to forget to make the canvas stretch with screen size. Thanks for persisting.
@brorenata Yeah one of my biggest takeaways is to begin with sound as opposed to leaving it until later, I wont make that mistake again. Thanks for checking it out
@justcamh appreciate all the feedback on the stream and thanks for the link. congrats on a great game too
