This is one of those rare games that I couldn't really enjoy but still like.
I'm not sure exactly what it is, maybe it's the entire concept of reverse platformer, or just this particular implementation of it in real time that makes it extremely chaotic and surprisingly reflex-based even with the time stop that makes it hard to have fun with.
However Pompom really goes hard on its concept, every level is a goldmine of a new ways to explore it and this combined with the challenging difficulty means the game is never boring, but it can easily get frustrating.
Ultimately I'm a bit on the fence about recommending it, I think if you're going in you need to do it with an explorative mindset (like you could do in a museum), it's worth seeing all the different twists it has on its own concept, even if the gameplay itself isn't perfect.
