I'm a sucker for retro graphics X-D. Love the fast-paced movement too. Pretty hard, had to play it a few times to beat a few levels. Music is great. All around good job!

EDIT: whoops I accidentally left a review meant for another game

The game is pretty intense, you always have to be on the edge and try to collect as many time crystals as posible. Really like the visual style and the music. The controls feel a bit wonky, especially the jumping, but overall a fun game.

I am always impressed by Unreal Engine graphics. The concept of shrinking universe is quite interesting. The game is quite hard (or I didnt understand something). It is really hard ro get to the bubble before the time runs out. Also restarting the game takes quite long. The player should be able to skip it

Great synthwaves vibes!! It's a bit confusing at the start until you integrate the pace of the game but I feel it has a good potential for speedrunning :wink:. Personally, I would have appreciated a checkpoint system to restart at the current level, as I could not finish the game myself. But overall very nice and original entry!
