The Wizard's Departure

Thanks for the game!

It was very enjoyable to play! I was expecting some bugs that would break the mechanic and I wouldn't be able to complte the puzzle, but have encountered none. Considering how many different mechanics you have in the game, and how well difficulty curve is executed, this is quite an achievement in my eyes! I also liked how unexpectedly logical some of the puzzles were (pushing the block through the gate was my faworite).

With that said, while the last two-three puzzle pieces felt exceptionally tight, the beginning of the game was somewhat sluggish. This is mostly because puzzles rarely forced me to think about the position of my older/younger self strategically, so several times after significantly forward with younger self, I was forced to re-track same distance by the older self when younger self reached the impasse. This, combined with big distances and slow movement made some of the puzzles at the beginning somewhat tedious.

There were also two moments that I consider as bugs: 
1. in the long stretch of plantable tiles section there was a moment when I was unable to get down the wall by the wine, since only 'plant seed' option appeared when I approached the wine;
2. from the wall in the last section (behind the dragon and block-unlocked gates) I was able to see my reflection in the riwer, but no interaction were availiable. That looked strange and almost convinced me for a moment that I've encountered a game breaking bug.

I sometimes found myself having trouble understanding 'when' exactly am I now. I would be cool to have two different times more visually distinct from each other, for example, have other color for grass and trees in the future.

Overall, the biggest downfall for me was lack of a meaningfull ending. I've collected all the crystals, and nothing happened... I tried to blink myself out of existence by rapidly switching selves several times in a row, but failed at it.

Its a cool game with an entertaining mechanic, but there are some things to keep a lookout for.

• This time traveling mechanic is the entertaining part of the game, and I liked that you centered a lot around it (the crumbling walls, dragon, vines...). Being teleported back to the time-traveling position is fine in itself, but having to walk from that spot to the next part with the slow movement speed really do break the immersion. 
• The puzzles are neat and mostly unique, and the sprites are detailed, which is something that I respect.
• My only major problem is the game breaking bugs (which I understand due to game jam and timing): 
  • 1.interacting w/ adjacent dirt tiles places seeds underneath player (when done at the dirt tiles in the crumbling wall halfway through allows 2nd-level vine that can push the player into the wall and force a reset)
    2.after the double gate,  at the part with the dragon and a block that you can push past the gate, you can lock the wizard to the left of dragon's breath while man is on the right and the block is pushed past the gate (again forcing a reset)

Up until that point, the game was rather enjoyable, so if you had more time to fix these problems, I think the game would turn out to be great.

Go team "puzzle wizard"! (my game is about a wizard and puzzles as well so) .

I really liked this one, the puzzles are good, I got the 31 shards (I got 29 and I had to backtrack some of them at the end of the game). That being said.

There is a mechanic at the end of the level that you have to use to end the last puzzle, and I dont think that it's a good Idea to do that. I would put that mechanic earlier in the game. Beside that, I think you have a great way to show the tools to the player.

Not a fan of the music. 
The sprites are awesome! and If the player was animated it would add a lot to the experience (but i'm  a fan of the wizard). I would add some speed to the player (not much).I understand if the movement speed is slow because the wizard is an old man and he walks slow, but would make at least the strong men go faster.

Great game! and I would love to see more levels and some of the plot. Thanks for making it! :D

Where do I begin? Amazing game! Cool concept, pretty well executed, fun puzzles! I liked the way you implemented the classic features of this kinds of games. The bad? Well, it feels a bit tedious but nothing too extreme or immersion breaking. I like time travel mechanics and this one was pretty well done. Keep it up! Meow!
