About Snapback

Snapback is the ultimate speedrunning puzzle platformer. It takes place in a dystopian world ruled by an authoritarian regime. You are a robotic citizen presented with the opportunity to fight against the oppressive system. A mysterious hacker gives you missions to rebel against the regime you live under. Each level presents a different challenge. Gameplay features a unique ability that allows you to traverse levels with careful teleports, only to be pulled back to that location after a set period. Every second counts. Speed is the puzzle.

Features:


Teleport - You have the ability to teleport instantly to any point you can see within range, but only for a period of time before you trigger a SnapBack.

Snapback - After teleporting, you will return to your previous location after a set period, traveling through space and colliding with everything between your current location and where you teleported from. This can also be triggered manually.

Punch - You can break objects, including, but not limited to, doors, windows, and enemies.

Movement - As a robot, you have an increased ability to move quickly through space and advanced servos to increase your ability to jump and traverse large distances.

Reset – To help facilitate speed runs and stumped puzzlers, you have the ability to reset a level at will to help get the best time possible.

Tier System – Our tier system scores the player based on performance while playing any given level. Try to reach S Tier in everything to achieve true mastery of the game.

I was invested right up until the camera levels appeared, which are completely broken and lack any kind of logic

game is oddly slow paced and crashes often requiring you to alt+f4 due to being in a loading screen

I was going to play this game through before leaving this negative review, but I really couldn't. The game is enormously slow paced, and there is little to no action. The teleportation mechanic is very janky, and the snapback, while cool in concept, feels basically useless in the scenarios. The audio is very very jarring, and the character controls really badly. Movement is incredibly floaty, and again- weirdly slow. The walking animation is also absurdly bouncy, and the death animation takes a while to play out. I couldn't turn the sensitivity down to a playable level- in other niche indie shooters like Perdition this isn't an issue, as I can just lower my DPI- but for this game it was the final nail in the coffin that made it quite literally unplayable for me.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
