Time Master

This game tickles my brain in ways that not even lesbian cannibal movies can, and that’s seriously saying something. Time Master is an incredible puzzle game with great visuals and fun gameplay mechanics that are executed in an almost perfect manner. Music and voiceover are just great and gameplay is pretty unique. I've played a lot of time-bending games, but this one feels unlike anything I’ve played before. Some of the puzzles are incredibly hard to solve and using the time bending gimmick can make the platforming quite challenging in some levels. Again the visuals are great, the music is nice and relaxing, and the gameplay and mechanics are fairly well executed for the most part. It’s an indie game through and through so expect some jank. There are a few other issues; a somewhat empty story outside of the main character saving his sister, as well as the need to be pixel-perfect to obtain some of the better rankings. Nobody really plays platformers for the compelling story though, so I don’t hold that against the game too strongly. Thankfully unless you’re a completionist, you can play the game casually and still finish the game’s story without too much stress. If you’re a fan of platformers, for fifteen dollars on Steam this is definitely worth picking up and giving a shot. 7/10

Everyone who is a fan of challenging puzzle games will definitely like this game. I personally like it and recommend it to all puzzle lovers.

solve a puzzle ... try getting 3 stars, it's a whole new puzzle

A fun time-based puzzler with a lovely aesthetic. The puzzles are very well designed with most of the challenge coming from trying to complete the puzzles fast enough to get three stars. Early boards are easy enough to three-star that when the challenge ramps up I just [i] knew [/i] I could do that level one second faster. And the most difficult levels left me pondering what I missed to be thirty seconds over a one-star rating. I never felt frustrated, just challenged. The game does an excellent job of teaching the mechanics as you go, adding abilities like removing blocks and freezing or melting water. The brain-bending time mechanics lead to some ingenious puzzle designs that gave me a sense of accomplishment when I completed the trickier ones. Highly recommended!

Annoying nostril voice won't shut up.

Very nice puzzler. It wasn't too ambitious, which means it had just the right length before the puzzles were becoming repetetive. The premise itself isn't new, basically you create a copy of yourself to solve parallel tasks you couldn't solve in time or at all, if you were alone. And tasks mean collecting crystals on a diorama and then reaching the exit. Many such games I played allowed you to create several copies, but this one allows you always just one, it's designed for 2 parallel tasks which results in not too complex, rather short puzzles, with still some nooks and cranies, as you have to think at least one cycle ahead. There are often times signals, like crystals in an dead end, which help you to rule out beforehand on which cycle you have to do what. My favourite levels were actually those where tricks were involved where you had to stop time. Some levels have a very short first cycle, but a much longer second cycle, that means they were designed with buffer time in mind and most of the time these result in setups where both timelines interact with eachother, like pushing a crate to block an projectile that was required in the first cycle, but destroys something you need for a task later on in the second cycle. There were not many elements but it felt like they were utilized to their fullest potential in the course of the [spoiler] 61 [/spoiler] trials. (well besides the seesaw perhaps as it wasn't used in many levels) Towards the end there were a few trials where I had the feeling the creator was running out of ideas, but they were really just a few where I thought "what's the point?" My favourite element were the crystal proxys, who collect the most nearby crystal, so by changing the order how you collect these crystal you might be able to collect those who are in dead ends. This was the most innovative element in my opinion and it keeps the puzzles interesting if you can't always rule out every dead end. I didn't need any guides. Not even for the achievement where you had to break an level with mad plattformer skills. I would say in terms of difficulty the game is towards the center of an scale, which was probably intended. It's also comfortable to play, as you can decide to reset only the the second cycle, so you never have too much to repeat because you slipped up later on. Time is also freezed until you start to move. So while there is a time limit it never feels stresful the levels were perfectly catered to that aspect. The only thing which can be a bit wonky is pushing crates, as they aren't pushed in a grid. There are fully voiced cutscenes that narrate a cute little story about a young clumsy mage trying to rescue his cheeky little sister, which he exiled without his knowing. The story is a good motivator to keep you going between puzzle sessions, even though it's nothing special. I expected some sort of twist to be honest as you can't see the sister and only have to trust her voice. Something you've already done with the villain of the story. I mean she didn't need to be evil, perhaps she could've been not your real sister or something along the way, but it's fine I wasn't here for the story and am surprised how much effort was flowing into the cutscenes, so I didn't expect that much narration from begin with. I can fully recommend the game to any puzzle-game lover. It has really a nice pace and shows how well it executes its few elements.

I really like nice bright graphics and effects of this game. Gameplay is good and polished. It reminds me Braid but in 3d. Sometimes it is hard to understand how to solve some levels. It will be good to have some help in game in this case.
