For something that takes five screens to beat, the gimmick is really fun. Even if setting up the clock again and again every reset is a bit annoying.
Final screen was really good.

cool game, though i wish you could save the clock position as it gets annoying to have a second or two of waiting before starting an attempt

wacky gimmick, although I found it more tedious to set up the clocks than it was fun to maneuver around them. still very creative and interesting though

6 rating only for the visuals, because the needle design is horrible. It basically requires you to wait upwards to 10 seconds before every attempt, because if you're in the middle of the save and realize that you messed up and can't make a jump, there is no safe space to move time ending up in you having to wait another 10 seconds before you can try again. This is especially frustrating in the third screen? (the one with the drop in the middle) where the design is basically nonsensical, leading to super awkward and, frankly, unfun jumps.

An interesting idea for a gimmick that falls kinda flat in my opinion. The biggest issue for me is the waiting, with most saves requiring you to wait several seconds before you can start. I also felt that some jumps were annoyingly precise, which was frustrating when I had to wait so long before doing another attempt. I think this gimmick would be better served with more cycle-like gameplay, where you move things while doing a save, rather than just setting up jumps while standing still.
