About Tempusia
Based on rewinding time mechanics, Tempusia is a puzzle platformer requiring a big cold head: 3
TIME-REWINDING MECHANICS
In Tempusia, you can activate the "rewinding effect," and after it ends, a clone appears and copies everything the player did. To solve several puzzles, you must time the actions of the clones and the player.
There is also the checkpoint mechanic, which allows you to return to some state of the game. The map is designed to have multiple ways, and there is a special button at the end of each way. After activating all the buttons, you can open the ending gate. You can also use the checkpoint to comeback after you finish one way.

It starts off with something immensely hard, coupled with a mechanic that is very counter-intuitive, the rewind aspect. Yes it seems interesting but if the puzzle start out so difficult, without the player learning the ways a shadow move is incredibly daunting, and frustrating. The game should've started with easier puzzles - Because of that, those who never got past the second door, did not get to experience the rest of the game. - A good puzzle game does not mean that it has to be hard, it but it has to present itself as a game that could slowly teach the player about mechanics through simpler puzzles, then can get harder. And I understand designing puzzles is very very difficult, unfortunately this wasn't a good one. I have to question if the developers even play tested this at all. They designed the puzzle from knowing the solution, but not testing whether or not if people cou…12 found this helpful
