About Paradox! Stuck in the Past

✦ AI summary

Play each level twice—first as your young self collecting time crystals while dodging lasers and vanishing platforms, then as your older self manipulating the environment to ensure your past self's success, all while avoiding paradoxical contact that erases you both. It's a mind-bending puzzle platformer where you're both the solution and the obstacle, armed with a tricked-out cane and rollers to outrun time itself.

Play in the past, then help yourself from the future. Paradox! lets you travel through time, breaking the rules of traditional puzzle platformers to create a challenging, yet rewarding adventure where every level is played twice: then, and now!

Play Every Level Twice!

In the first phase, you play as the sprightly young professor. Your task is to collect all the scattered time crystals while dodging deadly lasers, navigating vanishing platforms, and racing against a ticking clock that threatens to erase you from existence. Strangely, it seems someone is helping you by manipulating the environment...

The second phase reveals the twist, you must now play as your older, wiser and rather crankier self! Your job is to manipulate the environment, ensuring your younger self's success in a paradoxical partnership. You must guide your past self to collect all the time crystals and escape each level before the time runs out.

Be wary: danger lurks around every corner! If you slip up and the professors touch each other,you'll be erased from existence! Thankfully, you have a tricked-out cane stick and sick rollers to gain an edge against the relentless march of time.

Still not sure?

Here's what else Paradox! has in store:

•⁠ BRAIN-TEASING LEVELS packed with obstacles that will test your wits and reflexes!

•⁠ ⁠BONUS CHALLENGES and UNLOCKABLES for dedicated time travelers!

•⁠ COLOSSAL BOSSES itching to wipe you from the timeline!
