Tempus Bound

This game is a massive breath of fresh air and has been surprising at every turn. I've found so much satisfaction in figuring out what I need to do to progress to the next level. This game rewards players who want to explore, think for themselves, try things out, fail and try again. This style of gaming is my favourite. The environment, sound and artwork are absolutely gorgeous. I've even taken moments just to pause in certain areas just to listen to the sound, watch animations and take it all in. This is a beautifully detailed and extremely fun experience. I hope that Jasonsumm games will put out more games because this one has really sparked my imagination.

I will give this one a positive review, despite it not being my type of game. The retro art style with modern adaptions (light sources, interactability with object,...) is awesome. Controls work without issue (which is far from guaranteed in indie games) However, after about half an hour, I found myself annoyed by missing a jump, having to run aaaaaall the way back. Then, in the second level, got myself tracked under the tiltable bridge. Overall, the game is a bit "too noisy" for my taste - visual as well as the audio. On the positive note, I think this Dev put a lot of thought and love into this game and definitely deserves the support (thus I'm not refunding, keep the great work going!!!)

As bad as it looks.

Really amazing art and atmosphere, some of the platforming is more frustrating than fun.

weird little vibes based platformer. i wouldn't say it's [i]much[/i] of a test of skill, but the visuals and audio design are striking and incredibly atmospheric, which helped make the game gripping even during segments that amounted to just walking right for a while the narrative is wordless and largely up for interpretation, giving tempus bound this psychedelic, dreamlike quality that complements the unique aesthetic well. i do kinda wish there were some (more?) hints on how to [spoiler]open the locked door at the end[/spoiler], but it doesn't ruin the experience to only get one ending

Vibes! A short but immersive and enjoyable experience that doesn't overstay its welcome. Beautiful art direction - I'd love to have more to do in the worlds. Or revisit it in another game! I managed to get stuck inbetween some rotating platforms in the 2nd world after running away from the thing... Only other thing I'd mention is I'd like the character to have a slightly more generous jumping distance...but perhaps I should "git gud"? Hugely impressive work, congrats man.

Chouette aventure proche d'un court métrage en pixel art. Un monde fourmillant de vie qui vous happe du début la fin. Il y a les jeux poétiques et il y a les jeux qui sont de la poésie qui rime 24 fois par seconde comme Tempus Bound. Un ovni à faire pour tous ceux qui cherchent un peu de bizarrerie dans le jeu indé. Jingle bells, jingle all the way
