TimeTraveler

My dog is black

The concept of the game is pretty good, but i made better in scratch... its simply 1 screen, and the controls are very clunky. the story is genuinely so stupidly put in. level 9, yeah its impossible too. the game plays okay for 10 mins but should be free to play 100000000% even then its kinda trash

TimeTraveler is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. The only real plus here is that they eschew the amateur developer standard of crappy pixel "art" for some average hand drawn colour pencil art. I guess that's an improvement, but the problem with indie/amateur 2D retro pixel platformers is not just the crap graphics, it's the old, dead, obsolete platformer gameplay. This is a very low quality (so very standard) indie platformer, it's clunky and unpolished. The "time traveler" gimmick is that you can progress through the level, stop, then revert to the start of the level...but this leaves a "ghost" of your previous level attempt, which you can use as a stepping platform to solve various puzzle platformer problems. This gimmick has been done before, by better games, and adds little of value to this lacklustre experience. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a resu…

Great concept, poor execution. Also, the controls are very unreliable (particularly jumping).

much lonely such wow
