Cool, if rough, Flash game design. Most fun I've had with a pure platformer in quite awhile. I won't say how many deaths I had, it's sad, but let's say "over 200" and leave it at that.

Nice idea, but I refuse to play it because of some jumps that require perfect timing, and since this is not a fuck you game, meaning that the point is not for you to die over and over again, I do not enjoy it. I hope they make an easier version of something. I got past the tutorial, but thats about it.

Nice Idea, wrecked by GameDesigners taking themselves for the normal Player and overdoing the difficulty, disencluding the rewind back in time function, making it a frustrationcrater like most plattformers outside of nintendo

I agree with all of that. Character needs slightly slower gravitation, and much better collision detection. It gets really, really, really hard on the last three levels :-)

But the Idea is great, it really forces you into thinking twice, before you start the jumpsequenze, memorizing the belower part, planing the moves

Meh, I've got Chronos Twins for the DS for a tenner yesterday which does the same thing (okay, the lower screen isn't mirrored vertically...) except it's more fun.

Games shouldn't be about hiding elements and making it as confusing and painful to play as possible.

For a platform game in flash that is pleasant to play, I suggest fancy pants 2 instead.

On one of the few times I managed to stay up very late, I played Icy Tower (Lol. I'm a nerd.). I thought that game was great!
