《时空裂隙》是一款快节奏的解谜卷轴射击游戏(商店描述)。游戏玩法、机制简单,个人看来本质上是带有时间控制的跑酷+解谜+弹幕射击游戏,这些要素的有机结合使得游戏具有了独特的趣味性。 游戏的时间控制包括时间回溯、减缓、暂停。时间减缓、暂停与子弹时间相似,是为了让玩家更容易进行一些精细操作。而时间回溯则类似braid(时空幻境)里的世界二机制,引入了时间回溯也不回溯状态的门。这种机制使得游戏解谜的复杂度和趣味性得到充分提高,且跑酷难度大大削弱,手残也能随便通关。当然,如果想要挑战自己,只需不使用时间减缓和暂停,游戏难度自然会增加一个档次。当然,时间回溯作为核心机制必须使用,否则某些关卡无法通关。 游戏的跑酷效果同样出色。玩家控制一个箭头,而通过路径上的机关,玩家可以转换成上下左右四个方向。而无论朝哪个方向前进,背后总有一道不断前进的防火墙压迫玩家尽快前行。尽管游戏的解谜要素并不复杂,但配合跑酷机制增加了玩家的紧张感。 游戏中玩家还需要通过射击来击毁门和机关向自己射来的子弹,操作要求不高,这使得弹幕射击也成了解谜的一部分。 游戏的美术、音乐特别符合我的审美。游戏的画面是由简单的线条和棱角分明的图标组成,搭配蓝、紫、黄、绿及黑白等基本颜色,使其炫酷而简洁。虽然有些单调,但更能使人专注于游戏过程本身而不被这些东西分心。而很多所谓大作常常关注所谓真实感导致画面冗余元素过多,反而分散了玩家的注意力。游戏音乐则是简单的电音,并不令人印象深刻,但感觉非常适合游戏场景。 当然,游戏中也有故事背景,似乎是安全测试员要通过黑客入侵打倒某个大公司。游戏中每关结束时均有对话,且每隔几关都有临时服务器里面有各种文本。前几关我还认真读了读,后面实在失去了耐心,幸亏跳过这些还是挺方便的。实际上这些剧情也不影响游戏的进行。 总之,《时空裂隙》确实是一款不错的独立游戏,虽不算神作,但非常适合各类玩家闲暇时打发时间。
Molto carino con trama da saltare senza problemi, solita banalità dei virus e AI che prende vita. Consiglio di prenderlo a 1-2 euro che a prezzo pieno non vale la pena.
Time Rift, developed by Lightshards and Abiding Bridge and published by Abiding Bridge alongside IndieArk, is a tightly designed 2D action-puzzle experience that fuses arcade reflexes with deliberate time-manipulation strategy. Set within a digital dystopia controlled by the monolithic corporation VaultCo, the game places players in the role of a hacker tasked with infiltrating and stress-testing corrupted systems. While its premise unfolds within a stylized cyber setting, the real focus lies in how it transforms traditional side-scrolling action into a tense race against an ever-advancing digital threat. The defining mechanic of Time Rift is the constant pressure applied by a moving firewall that relentlessly scrolls across each level. Unlike typical platformers or shooters where pacing is player-controlled, here momentum is imposed externally. You are never truly safe or stationary; every second matters. This design choice creates an immediate sense of urgency and keeps the player mentally engaged from start to finish. Each stage becomes a balance between precision, route planning, and quick adaptation, as environmental hazards, switches, enemies, and collectible nodes demand careful timing while the advancing firewall punishes hesitation. What elevates the experience beyond a standard arcade challenge is the time manipulation system. Players can slow down or rewind time to correct mistakes, reposition themselves, or rethink an approach mid-run. Rather than serving as a simple gimmick, this mechanic fundamentally shapes the rhythm of gameplay. It encourages experimentation, as failure is not strictly punitive but instead becomes part of a learning loop. The rewind feature transforms difficult sequences into opportunities for mastery, allowing players to refine their movements and optimize their paths through increasingly complex layouts. This interplay between speed and control gives Time Rift a satisfying strategic layer beneath its surface intensity. Visually, the game leans into a clean, neon-infused cyber aesthetic. Minimalist backgrounds and sharply defined level geometry ensure clarity even when the action becomes chaotic. The vibrant color palette contrasts effectively with darker digital environments, helping players quickly identify hazards and interactable objects. The art direction favors readability and focus, an essential quality in a game that demands split-second reactions. Complementing this is an energetic electronic soundtrack that reinforces the sense of urgency without overwhelming concentration, keeping adrenaline high while maintaining immersion. Level design steadily evolves, introducing new obstacles and mechanics that build on earlier concepts without feeling repetitive. Early stages establish the fundamentals of movement and timing, while later levels layer in additional complications such as tighter corridors, trickier switch sequences, and more complex enemy placements. The progression feels deliberate and well-paced, ensuring that difficulty increases organically. For players seeking mastery, replaying stages to improve performance or discover optimal routes becomes a compelling challenge in itself. Although gameplay remains the centerpiece, Time Rift also integrates narrative elements that give context to the infiltration. Dialogue snippets and story beats gradually reveal cracks within VaultCo’s structure, hinting at internal instability and moral ambiguity. While the storytelling does not dominate the experience, it adds texture and purpose to the digital landscapes players traverse. The narrative framing helps the action feel like more than abstract puzzles, tying each mission to a broader thematic thread about corporate control and technological overreach. Accessibility features further enhance the experience. Adjustable difficulty elements and flexible control options allow players of varying skill levels to engage with the core mechanics. Whether using a keyboard or controller, the controls feel responsive and precise, an essential factor in a game built around tight timing windows. The combination of accessibility and challenge ensures that newcomers can gradually acclimate while experienced players can push themselves toward speed-focused perfection. Ultimately, Time Rift stands out as a smartly constructed hybrid of action and puzzle design. Its relentless pacing, combined with thoughtful time manipulation mechanics, creates a gameplay loop that feels both intense and rewarding. Rather than overwhelming players with complexity, it refines a clear central idea and builds depth through execution. For those who appreciate arcade-inspired tension layered with strategic control and modern design sensibilities, Time Rift delivers a polished and engaging experience that maintains its momentum from the first firewall advance to the final system breach. Rating: 8/10
Das Spiel läuft leider absolut nicht flüssig, so wie auch im Trailer. Schade, ich mag das Konzept.
好
《时空裂隙》是一款小众的快节奏酷跑解密游戏。其游戏设计的非常巧妙,利用对一个三角箭头上下左右四个方向的转变来给玩家带来解密的乐趣。 游戏中一共有60多个关卡,可以看出游戏创作者在每一个关卡设计上都别有用心,把解密和操作完美的结合到了一起。 玩家每达到一定的关卡就会为这个三角箭头解锁新的技能,拥有新的技能就意味着关卡难度的提升。游戏创作者并不是简单的通过加大游戏操作场景而增加难度,而是技能和技能搭配以及技能与场景搭配来增加操作和解密的难度。 例如玩家达到一定关卡后会解锁发子弹的技能,而发子弹的技能需要依赖场景中转换箭头方向的道具才能打开通关的入口。再达到一定关卡后又会解锁时间回溯的技能,而时间回溯又要同时依赖转换箭头方向和发子弹的技能才能打开通关的入口。同时玩家还要通过不断地调整逐渐靠近的死亡线来避免死亡。 每一关的体验都是紧张而又刺激。 总体来说《时空裂隙》是一款非常硬核的解密游戏,在独立游戏这种以创意玩法为核心的游戏种类中属于一款佳作。但其整体较简陋的画面缺迎合不了当今大多数玩家的喜欢,所以注定没有一个好的销量。 游戏是一个艺术品,这款游戏也绝对称的上是艺术。但是和一些经典电影一样,没有一个好的票房。
Très sympathique Puzzle Game, bien retors passé quelques niveaux, et le scénario est intriguant jusqu'à la fin. Le gameplay se complexifie très vite et se renouvelle souvent grâce aux compétences que l'on débloque. Même si les graphismes restent relativement simples, il y a plein de petits effets visuels très sympa qui apportent du dynamisme aux niveaux, sans pour autant gêner la lisibilité. Et en plus le jeu fonctionne parfaitement sur Steam Deck. Je recommande !
c'est un petit bijoux de game design ! très bon moment passer dessus pour l'instant avec un scénario de fond vraiment sympa ! on a le cerveau qui chauffe vite et les mécanique sont vraiment varié !
I like it.
