Timeworks

I had the pleasure of trying this game out at Too Many Games 2024, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the devs that were there showing off this game. They're good folks that want nothing more than to provide a fun, positive experience to gamers, and most importantly, they seem to have an open ear to suggestions. The game itself is a fun mix of Portal and The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom, though most folks will probably not remember the latter. The puzzles in this game are mind bending, similar to Portal, but with the time travelling self cloning aspects of PB Winterbottom. It requires a unique approach to gameplay that makes for a fun, unique experience. It's definitely not an action packed experience, it's purely a matter of getting from point A to point B in the cleverest way you can manage, but that's what the devs were going for, so I can't take points away for that. I recommend!

Loved this game! If you like testing your brain with puzzles and a great soundtrack then this is the game for you.

Awesome game, really fun and the puzzles are satisfying to solve. Love the little characters and the cute drawings!

Very charming indie game. I like the art style, and I'm a sucker for gameplay that involves time travel. Really can't go wrong with the price, too.

Super cool to see a "co-op style" puzzle game that doesn't require anyone else to play. It lets you play every part of the game, and you have no one to blame but yourself. Highly recommend to anyone who likes puzzles that you have to try and try again to beat. Good luck!

Solid stuff, the soundtrack is funky and the gameplay is satisfying.

A very unique and interesting blend of first person puzzle game combined with time travel. A lot of fun and challenging. Love the music too!

Quality game with interesting gameplay and mechanics. Love how unique it is and feels like a breath of fresh air for single player puzzle games. Great characters, sound design, and replayability.

Timeworks is pretty fun, and very in the spirit of 'control two versions of yourself'. There is a little time pressure which I would probably enjoy more if I had a mouse instead of track pad. The character is the right amount of derpy. There were some satisfying psychological experiences, like I craved redemption when I failed a challenge. I didn't get into anything overly complex (yet) but I wasn't deflated from messing something up. Things felt short enough from what I played to not feel cumbersome on restart. There were some nice little touches in the form of like, 'motivational posters/demotivational posters' that made me laugh. And they weren't overly done and I hope to see more in future levels when I play a bit more. The same mechanism (posters) acted almost as an in-game hint at an early point, and during that 'control your other self' moment, I was able to watch myself realize the hint from afar. Kind of weird and cool.

This game is amazing; absolutely powering me through life right now. The puzzles are super fun and Sam is so so cute! Highly recommend.
