Who needs friends when I can co-op with my future selves? Fun short puzzles that make you want to try to get everything synced up just right and a cute art style
This is genuinely such a fun game :D I was recommended it by a friend and my roommate and I just played it for while. I'm now officially on a quest to beat every level with S rank. There are so many cool mechanics (no spoliers, dw), the art is great, and the puzzles are really clever. It's an extremely fun concept to optimize. Being a few milliseconds off sucks, but it is really hard to not try again with a slightly different tactic. I can't wait to play more of it!!!
Such a fun game! Funny tutorial, good action, catchy music, cute characters. Challenging puzzles. Well designed game. This will be the next Portal!
Really fun and unique mechanics. Only on world 1 so far but have had a lot of fun figuring out how to work together with my past selves and felt very satisfied solving the puzzles. Looking forward to clocking in more shifts at Timeworks!
Movement, SFX, and visuals all come together to deliver a top-notch puzzle game. Amazing soundtrack to boot.
Amazing game from Starworks Studios. Fun time-traveling mechanics with super helpful little hints spread out. I legitimately spent most of my time spamming the little red button in the tutorial. Great stuff.
Super fun puzzle game with some really neat mechanics! The puzzles are challenging but very rewarding, and the atmosphere and world building is great! The clones and time travel make for some really unique scenarios and solutions. Very reminiscent of another famous puzzle game involving portals. I can’t wait to see what Starworks puts out next! Also: This game runs great on my Steam Deck, no tinkering required.
Epic and funny puzzle game. The time-traveling and clone concept is unique, and the characters and art style are funny and put a smile on my face. Also, I love jazz music so the soundtrack is just so cool. I appreciate the effort put into the music, and having a soundtrack release in addition to it just being game background music.
As somebody who has played the first three worlds -- before the fourth world was released -- I have to share my experience playing Time Works. This game stands out as a genuinely enjoyable puzzle game, with some very thought provoking "time-travel" mechanics. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS Graphics are good for the first game out of Starworks studios! Can't wait to see what they cook up next ;0 ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't I have never played a game like this, for the main mechanics alone it was worth the price of admission. ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf THE MUSIC IS SPECTACULAR! The farther into a puzzle you get, the further the instrumentals progress. ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☑ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls I was about to put this on Difficult, however I might just be a dummy. ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☑ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding Zero grind, new mechanics are introduced so often it feels like a joy to find another interesting way to play. ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☑ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life I'm not a story guy, and I was content. ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond Very replay-able, I like optimizing for time and you can do that very consistently. ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs Bugs have been squashed! ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10 If you are somebody who likes difficult puzzle games with new mechanics, you should consider playing Timeworks. The game can be QUITE difficult so I wouldn't blame you for throwing your PC out of the factory window. However, if you stick with it, the euphoria for completing a level is far worth the time spent. In some ways I might have made the experience more difficult for myself because I am a stubborn gamer who likes to do things "my way" but that very much contributed to the excitement when I completed the puzzle the way I WANTED to, not the way the devs thought I would. Cheers!
A very unique game with interesting mechanics and characters! I love the time travel mechanics and the clone interactions :) Its almost 1.5-player since you play alongside yourself
