I've played the game for a bit (finished the mines) and these are my thoughts:
The concept of the game is very interesting! I had a good time playing it. The levels generally have nice solutions that are fun to figure out. So gameplay wise, this is great :)
The main thing that occurs to me is that the game needs more polish. The screens that show when you run out of time or trigger a paradox seem out of place. The watch showing the time is very cool, but the art style clashes a bit with the style of the game I think.
I found the background music a bit annoying and just turned it off after a bit.
Overall, a good experience. Not sure if you are still updating this, but would love to see it be improved even more!
did all except the last electric level, because I didn't want to try it again a 3rd time.
The first pyramid game also gave up at first and came back later. Because it is a big level and feels like there's more than one way and i would have to trial and error a bit. When I came back I thought a bit about the path. Nothing to change, but just to say that a big level like that, as well as the last on the electric is less motivating since you have to do all again.
I spent some for support. I am also trying to make some video games. I don't know if this game will make money, I would think not, but I do think tipping developers makes sense.
Ah, must also say I spent a lot of time on one level of the wharehouse, the level where there's a yellow girl at the end of the corridor, the last one. It took me a long time to figure out that level, I think the one I spent most time on. I don't even know if I did it correctly, I ended with 3 charges, and I never used the empty spaces beyond the first switches, I don't know why there are those empty spaces there...
Edit: Came here from reddit. I didn't see anything about game jam. I haven't figured out yet if it is better to leave reviews in a jam or in the game, I personally feel that leaving in the game makes more sense to me. I don't know why itch makes this dumb separation, they should merge the jam comments back into the main page of the game after...

Thank you unaware-robot for the feedback. Glad to know that your had some fun :-)
Indeed the next update will bring a more homogeneous visual style.
Oh and thank you for letting me know for the music. There is a second theme in the arena, but it arrives late in the game.
Thanks again.

Dear Leo, thanks for your feedback. And thanks for your support !
Good luck with your games too.
Full disclaimer: I am a friend of the developper, but I sincerely think this is a nice puzzle game with a neat idea at its core.
