I do agree with the others about it being a bit confusing and losing interesting, but I was able to figure them all out in the end!

The chillness of the game reminded me of Outer Wilds, which was also a chill, exploration looping game. The puzzles were a good level of challenge for me, I actually liked that they weren't particularly obvious. I only was able to get 2\/3 keys though, I couldn't figure out the clock one in the end!\n\nI'll have to echo the thoughts of others, I didn't expect this game to have been made by newbies. The art and character animation caught my eye right off the bat and it set the tone for things to come. The levels look like they took quite a bit of work to make. Not just the large backgrounds but also coordinating with the artist to place everything correctly. The audio as a warning mechanism is very unique. After a while it became 2nd nature and I knew when I was about to loop.\n\nCool and ambitious game overall, well done!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Oulsen","author_uid":"1221407","time":"2020-10-08T16:14:50Z","epoch":1602173690,"modified":1602173690,"text":"Looks cool! congrats on the first game in Unity.

Everything else was straight forward (for me at least), but on that I spend over 10 cycles trying everything until I just began clicking randomly and pressing r at the same time.
