Time Master

Not my kind of puzzle game. I do not enjoy being rushed, and the timer forces you to beat every level within a fraction of a second of the fastest possible time.

I'll start with the bad before mentioning the good: First of all, the story isn't anything special and the cutscenes aren't the best. If you need a good story to go with your puzzles, this might not be for you. Of course, most people come to puzzle games for the puzzles, so that shouldn't be an issue for most people; and admittedly, it has its own charm to it :) Second, there are some levels where the difficulty comes from not knowing about an interaction that exists. When you have to do something you've never done before in order to solve a puzzle, something you didn't even know you could do, and there is a lot of other things going on in that level as well - it can be a bit frustrating. If you want hints, you have to go to the creator's Discord server, which might also be a turn off for some people. That said, I still recommend this game, and here's why: The levels, unlike the cutscenes, look very nice and have a lovely charm to them. They still aren't anything outstanding, but I found them quite pleasant. And of course, the puzzles themselves; most of them (see above) felt very satisfying to solve and optimize. The mechanics in the game work nicely together, and it feels great when it all comes together and you hit the finish platform right at the last second before you would've ran out of time to get all three stars. The quality of the puzzles is the most important thing for a puzzle game, and among the 60 levels (plus a "boss" level, so to speak) you'll be having a good time for a very large majority.

I'm really liking this game so far. Each puzzle has me actually thinking about how I could get it done with 3 stars. Sometimes the platforming feels a bit off, but all in all, really good. I also didn't expect full voice acted cut-scenes in a puzzle game! Nice surprise lol

Time Master is a puzzle game that forces you to think forwards and backwards with its time mechanics. Simple rules are added one by one, and the levels can get surprisingly tricky, even early on. The visual feel is quite beautiful in its simplicity. And for some reason, you're just really, really sincerely rooting for the little guy as you guide him through the levels! This is one of those games you can play at any time, spending a few (or usually more) minutes to get Zeno just a few platforms closer to his goal.

super cute awesome time shift puzzle game!

Un petit jeu indé très sympa. Les mécaniques, aussi bien celles liées au temps que celles liées directement aux objets, sont extrêmement simples mais donne assez vite des niveaux intéressants. Le level design est réussi, un nombre honorable de jolis décors qui garde en évidence les éléments clés du niveau, quitte à rester coincé 30 minutes sur un niveau autant que ça soit agréable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Malgré une durée de vie limité il ne tombe pas dans la facilité des "3 étoiles" qui demandent des déplacements pixel perfect, ici les timing pour les "3 étoiles" ajoute juste un peu de difficulté et la perspective de trouver la façon la plus rapide de finir chaque niveau.

Very fun and enjoyable platformer with a lot of puzzle elements. Play with time to save your friend from terrible doom. Gather Time Crystal fragments to achieve your goal. Easy on the eyes graphics and very nice music added more enjoyment to the overall good experience. If you like to use your brain more than the trigger finger it is a perfect game for you.

If you enjoy playing puzzle games, then this game is a must for you. Do not hesitate to get it, even if it is not on sale, it's definitely worth it. I wish I had found more "non-indie" games capable of creating puzzles the complexity of this one. The developer really put his mind to the test to create awesome combinations of scenarios and elements to create the most curious scenes for puzzle solving. And the fact that you have to "do the puzzle twice" to get things going it's a real "double trouble", and will keep you at bay more than once. Do not worry if you find yourself speaking in loud voice saying "but if I pass through here, the past Zeno won't be able to cross...oh", it's normal once you reach a certain point. Apart from the concept itself, graphics are amazing, both during gameplay and cutscenes. Voiceover, sound effects and music are also of great quality, and will delight you without being too noisy or annoyingly repetitive. There is certainly no aspect which can be harshly critisized. If I had to mention one, I would say I'll have loved to see more achievements related to specific weird interactions between game elements, since the current achievements seem a bit too plain for my taste. Also, on big maps, a little spike in FPS can be noticeable, but it's nothing that would make it unplayable at all. one could discuss a few more things with the devs, but nothing as major, just small bits of what a gamer would like to see to polish even more a jewel like this. An overall very entertaining game, with hours of interesting puzzles, nice graphics and audio, and a very interesting idea to even exploit it further in the future. Well done, MorpheusZ!

Time Master is an intriguing cute platform game which showcases some innovative uses of terrain and objects, every world appears from nothing and is being build-up by the blocks and just make you immerse in the beautiful designs. I recommending to get full package including the soundtrack because it's beautiful, tranquil, and also makes you curious on how you're going to tackle the next course!

The core game concept is simple; collect all the time crystals scattered about each level and reach the exit platform within the time limit.  You are given three time goals per level, each rewarding you with 1-3 stars based on how fast you can complete each level.  Naturally, the 3-star reward has no room for error, often requiring some truly out-of-the-box thinking to complete those single-digit time requirements.  Stars are used to unlock additional levels, and thankfully those “gates” don’t require perfection in the previous puzzles to complete the game. Gameplay consists of you moving Zeno around the levels collecting stars, but the added element of time manipulation puts a thoughtful spin on the concept.  At any time you can rewind time and reset the clock.  Naturally, all your collected time crystals will be returned to their original locations as well, but here comes the game-changer.  You can split time, essentially creating a second version of yourself that can go off on their own path while your previous self replays the actions you performed earlier.  The implications of this are pretty mind-blowing and get more intricate the further you progress in the game when new concepts such as time paradoxes are tossed in. Time Masters quickly becomes a one-person co-op game where you basically program or script the path of one player then work together in real-time with the second version of yourself.  Crystals collected by one of you are shared across time, and environmental changes such as crumbling bridges or vanishing blocks also span the timeline creating some unique timing challenges.  Thankfully you can pause and resume the original time flow, making it easier to synch up with your former self.
