Marty Thinks 4D

It's rare to find an indie puzzle-platformer that is this well fleshed-out. There are a ton of levels, multiple game mechanics are introduced and then developed through puzzles, there are even boss fights! A lot of bang-for-your-buck. Plus, the character Marty is pretty adorable. :) I LOVE it!

Fun little puzzle/platformer that is actually quite challenging once you advance past the first area. Plenty of variations to the puzzles and a multitude of options to complete each level the way you see fit! Keep trying and good luck

been watching my friend make this game over the last 3 years and I can say it is a good game. great for speed runners, and puzzel junkies

Developed by Jonathan Stoffer and published by KittySoft Studios, Marty Thinks 4D is a puzzle-platforming adventure that builds its identity around a smart and imaginative time-travel mechanic. Rather than emphasizing fast reactions or action-heavy gameplay, it encourages players to think several steps ahead by using previous versions of the protagonist to overcome increasingly intricate obstacles. The result is a game that rewards careful planning, patience, and creative problem-solving while wrapping its mechanics inside a charming science-fiction narrative. It immediately stands apart from more conventional puzzle games by transforming time itself into the player's most valuable tool. The gameplay revolves around Marty, a small robot capable of cooperating with his own past selves to complete objectives that would otherwise be impossible alone. Every puzzle gradually introduces new environmental hazards, switches, enemies, moving platforms, and interactive devices that require players to carefully coordinate multiple timelines. Instead of simply rewinding mistakes, each previous attempt becomes an active participant in the next solution, creating satisfying chain reactions that…

I couldn't wrap my head around it because I'm slow, but it seems well made.

6/10 A puzzle where you use your double to press buttons. TLDR: A poor man's 3D puzzle where you use a double of yourself to press buttons and open doors. Somewhat like The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, Re Pete, Project Temporality but with more arcade elements like platform jumping and even some simple fighting. It has fairy interesting levels and a nice story. But its lackluster looks, uncomfortable controls (that can't be remapped) and annoying dexterity challenges drag it down. Good: - music is pretty good overall (exc boss fight level 1-10) - there is a pleasant story about the "Marty" robot which is narrated by an actor that I think I heard many times in other games. Since the narration doesn't need any clicking or reading, you just listen to it as you go - the dynamic shading under the bot is a nice touch when you pass between lights. The play of illuminated and darker areas in levels is interesting - puzzles are fairly varied and (where they aren't timing or dexterity-based) pretty fun to solve - dozens of levels So-so: - the 3D scenery looks pretty shabby overall though I'm not sure it could be done better by just 1 guy (the credits mention about a dozen people b…
