Timeloop

A great strategy game that an actual time traveler would use I liked this game because its very much like the man who folded himself and other manyworlds time travel novels It makes my head hurt in a FUN way Just like in Bill Ted youve got to remember to set things up              This game encourages closed timelike curve thinking

You get from the title     Worst game EVER

Describing a game that involves time travel really isnt the easiest thing to do When I initially came across Timeloop an innovatively designed puzzler it took a few minutes to figure out the point of the game I think a good way to preface this review is to describe a scene from one of my favorite movies Back to the Future Marty McFly is on his way back from 1955 to the his own time of 1985 but before he does so he hands Doc a note detailing the night that the Libyan terrorists kill him in 1985 hoping to somehow to change the future Of course Doc tears up the note and Marty travels to the present only to watch Doc get shot Doc however did read the note and wears a bulletproof vest thus changing history and bringing on two other sequels Much in the same way that is the gist of Timeloop a surprisingly fresh puzzler with a unique twist presented with a fun art style that will keep you playing and wishing for more levels The underlying story in Timeloop is a little out there but interesting nonetheless After creating a time machine the scientists have somehow become trapped in a time loop where they are in constant danger of running out of oxygen Their only hope is Nik the janitor robot who must open doors to reach the vocal scientists they scream Help where are you and the occasional meowing cat To open doors Nik must repair circuit boxes that open the doors Of course the game is more complex that repairing circuits In some cases doors require two robots to operate and open doors Thats where you come in because part of your job is to operate the timeloop that sends Nik back in time This is where the time travel paradox comes in Because youre traveling back in time a version of Nik lets call him Original Nik is already there represented as a ghost So technically there are two of you or more I wont bother to go into the theoretical thinking related to meeting yourself back in time At the heart of Timeloop is a game about strategically planning ahead Depending on how you move Original Nik and what he interacts with he will repeat those same steps Literally its a replay of everything Nik performed before the timeloop Does any of this make sense Dont worry it gets better The game has 32 levels and you have the opportunity to earn gold silver and bronze medals based on how quickly Nik rescues the scientists The hitch in all this is that oxygen is depleting which is represented by a countdown timer so youll need to move quickly Of course when you hit the timeloop button the timer resets which may only provide a temporary reprieve if you fouled up with Original Nik The levels begin relatively easy but they become more elaborate in terms of doors and tools Some doors require tools such as a blowtorch to repair or later on securing and applying a computer code to a cell phone With the simpler puzzles one timeloop is offered but more timeloops become available later as the puzzles increase in difficulty and require more maneuvering The graphics look great with cartoonlike animations along with some quirky sound effects Visually Timeloop is a polished looking game with a creative art style that should be very eyecatching to most The rooms are viewed from a sideoverview perspective so you have a limited view of several rooms from above A timer is located in the upper left corner while the number of timeloops is in the upper right The timeloop activation button is located in the bottom right Moving Nik is straightforward tap in the desired location where youd like Nik to go The controls are more or less responsive but on a few occasions Nik wouldnt respond right away or he would end up kissing the wall or worse The game also doesnt have an ingame scroll option so you cant pan the screen to get a better idea of the floor layout although you can do this by pausing the game The game is both fun and frustrating at the same time As I mentioned the rooms become more complex so in many cases its a matter of trial and error in terms of what works and what doesnt You almost certainly wont be able to solve latter puzzles on the first try or even after several trys because its a challenging game One way to look at it is that each level requires you to solve it several times With the clock ticking being able to move quickly and efficiently before the timeloop is activated will determine whether or not you succeed I will say that the scientist yelling for help can be irritating after a while and you kind of wish the oxygen would deplete just enough to keep him quiet Overall Timeloop is a great puzzler with a unique twist Its definitely not something you see everyday not to mention play with The visuals are fun and lighthearted and the concept is innovative Outside of the occasional quirks with the controls Timeloop is a must for those who enjoy logic gamesor time travel              A time travel puzzle that will send you for a loop

This is a great game Its highly polished and high quality game thats enjoyable if you like puzzle games There have been other games like this before on the market but I always have fun playing them The graphics are cute and intricate Its the little things that add to the flavor and overall polish of the game Havent gotten too far in the game yet but this one is a keeper                 Highly polished game

Very interesting game Its neat playing through the levels and seeing the mistakes youve made with your doppelganger You got to think in the past and future to get through a level all at the same time It can get a little crazy at times                

Timeloop is a fantastic game Great production values original idea for game play Timed puzzles are well put together I hope that there are updates in the future or perhaps some sort of level editor Anyone complaining about this not being worth a dollar are mad Its worth way more than that                 Well put together game

Polished graphics and clever puzzles that evenly graduate in difficulty make this a musthave for people who like games like Braid and Portal or just love clever puzzle games in general Id also like to see a sequel soon                 Highly Underrated Title

Controls are way too finite This is a timed game and it costs way too much time chasing a one pixel tap Deleted        Dont bother
