Timeless Tesseract

End game in 26 minutes, a very short game who give me a good nausea but the time mechanics is a little bit funny and sometimes glitched when you crush yourself in a time travel. Better buy it in promotion because 3€ is too much for less half hour of playing, but can be more valuable and interresting if the game get more levels and few new mechanics with better scene, at this time it taste like a pre-alpha game unfinished. Still a good game with a good potential unexplored but i recommend it only only if its cost is less than 2.50€ at this step of the game.

4.5/10 1st person puzzle with time stop/rewind TLDR: the interesting idea on paper to stop/rewind time turns into an almost unplayable mess because of chaotic cube movements, clumsy jumps and non-obvious collisions. Barely neutral vote Good: + free + the core idea of time rewinds is interesting. You left-click to pause time and hold right-click to rewind it. Time-pause has a limited duration + fairly nice music that reacts to time pauses/rewards, Braid-style So-so: +/- there is a certain style to the graphics here (black, pure red and pure green). Yet the pixelated fonts that try to mimic the cubes look ugly. UI buttons are oversized. Diegetic messages are either too small to be readable or too large when you're close to them Bad: - the term "parkour" assumes an expert player who has perfected a series of risky jumps and demonstrates them. Here instead you have a chaos of flying cubes. Even when all of them are paused, it's hard to jump on/between them due to clumsy collisions. I'm not sure but there can also be jumping bugs in the game as sometimes the character would jump off a cube right after landing although I wasn't pressing Space. Time rewinding also seems to affect phy…

Timeless Tesseract is a small game with a pretty interesting idea behind it. I am moving through a series of 3D platforming levels where I can manipulate time to get around obstacles and reach the end. The main goal is to collect the time cubes and eventually reach the almighty cube, and while the overall idea is simple, I liked the way the time mechanic gives the platforming something different. It is also completely free to play, so I think it is a fairly easy game to pick up and try. The time manipulation is easily the best part for me. I can control and rewind time to help me get through sections that would otherwise be difficult, and it gives the basic platforming a bit more thought than simply jumping from one platform to another. I liked having to work out when I should use the time mechanic instead of just relying on normal movement. It is not an incredibly deep system, but it is enough to make the game feel different from a standard 3D platformer. I also like the way the game is split into five different levels. Each one has its own colour, theme and difficulty, so there is at least some variety instead of everything looking and feeling exactly the same. The colourful an…

This game has one good idea and doesn't even explore it that well. Despite being extremely short with only six levels, the last two levels feel like pointless padding.
