Time Master

Un petit jeu indé très sympa. Les mécaniques, aussi bien celles liées au temps que celles liées directement aux objets, sont extrêmement simples mais donne assez vite des niveaux intéressants. Le level design est réussi, un nombre honorable de jolis décors qui garde en évidence les éléments clés du niveau, quitte à rester coincé 30 minutes sur un niveau autant que ça soit agréable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Malgré une durée de vie limité il ne tombe pas dans la facilité des "3 étoiles" qui demandent des déplacements pixel perfect, ici les timing pour les "3 étoiles" ajoute juste un peu de difficulté et la perspective de trouver la façon la plus rapide de finir chaque niveau.

The core game concept is simple; collect all the time crystals scattered about each level and reach the exit platform within the time limit.  You are given three time goals per level, each rewarding you with 1-3 stars based on how fast you can complete each level.  Naturally, the 3-star reward has no room for error, often requiring some truly out-of-the-box thinking to complete those single-digit time requirements.  Stars are used to unlock additional levels, and thankfully those “gates” don’t require perfection in the previous puzzles to complete the game. Gameplay consists of you moving Zeno around the levels collecting stars, but the added element of time manipulation puts a thoughtful spin on the concept.  At any time you can rewind time and reset the clock.  Naturally, all your collected time crystals will be returned to their original locations as well, but here comes the game-changer.  You can split time, essentially creating a second version of yourself that can go off on their own path while your previous self replays the actions you performed earlier.  The implications of this are pretty mind-blowing and get more intricate the further you progress in the game when new concepts such as time paradoxes are tossed in. Time Masters quickly becomes a one-person co-op game where you basically program or script the path of one player then work together in real-time with the second version of yourself.  Crystals collected by one of you are shared across time, and environmental changes such as crumbling bridges or vanishing blocks also span the timeline creating some unique timing challenges.  Thankfully you can pause and resume the original time flow, making it easier to synch up with your former self.
