Enjoy Playing Time Fcuk
I stumbled onto this little indie gem called Time Fcuk a while back and it really scratched that itch for mind-bending puzzle platformers. You play as a kind of temporal agent hopping between different eras to fix glitches in the timeline, but every time you rewind or fast-forward, your past selves stick around and keep doing whatever you told them to. That means you’re constantly choreographing a dance of clones, setting up domino effects across the stage so you can clear obstacles or trigger switches without getting squished by your own mistakes.
The controls are simple—run, jump, rewind, fast-forward—but the way everything intertwines gets surprisingly complex fast. Early on you’re just worrying about dodging spikes; by mid-game you’re juggling six versions of yourself, each one plugging holes that the others left behind. It’s equal parts satisfying and hilarious when you watch your ghost-copies waltz around, oblivious to the fact that it’s your bumbling instructions sending them off cliffs or into lava pools. And if you ever biff it, hitting reset feels more like hitting the play button on a slapstick comedy.
Visually, it sticks to crisp pixel art that somehow feels fresh without leaning too hard on nostalgia. The color palette shifts moodily as you jump through centuries—bright, sunlit plazas give way to steely industrial corridors or misty ruins. And while the soundtrack is mostly ambient, it pulses just enough to remind you you’re on a ticking clock. By the time I reached the final level, I was half wanting to race the clock and half wanting to tinker with my own tape-deck army a little longer. If you’re up for a low-key challenge with a time-twisting twist, this one’s worth a spin.
