In this time-looping RPG, you must guide Ari along a journey across the continent to destroy the Hourglass of Doom; however, every 5 minutes (or any time your entire party falls in battle), time resets and you must start from the beginning! The only way to fight back is to fight monsters and level up, increasing the amount of time left in a loop. Any life fruits you gain along the way persist through time loops, and you can quickly regain any lost experience thanks to the "target level" system. With the help of Lynx and Mary, can Ari take back time, or will the Demon Lord keep the world in a perpetual time loop?

I was unfortunately not able to reach my full, complete vision of the game in time, so imagine what a happy ending would be like when you beat the game ;3

Press F11 or the tilde key ~ to enable fullscreen. This is the best and most recommended way to play. (The game may not work well on device screens smaller than 1920 x 1080.)


NOTICE: DO NOT USE THE FLEE BUTTON!!! It doesn't seem to work at all anymore, and using it may cause you to get stuck in an infinite loop (haha) where your party won't attack. This is caused by a super simple programming mistake that I couldn't fix in time, where two boolean variables end up always conflicting with each other.


Known Issues/Bugs

- Toggling fullscreen mode causes an issue during the time loop animation.

- Issues might pop up when using multiple controllers; make sure you have only one controller plugged in.

- Gamepad layouts can be weird; unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to add a remapping function. For best results when playing with a controller, use an Xbox controller.

- Fleeing may not work properly.
