Amazing little puzzle game that I would define as "Short but Sweet". The idea behind the game is great, and the puzzles are all pretty interesting. I was maybe hoping for some more mechanics, like ghost-only exits, or spikes that don't target ghosts and whatever. But level 76 is kind of the culmination of how to deal with time; and even if it's a bit annoying to pull off I thought it was an amazing level. 22 also stumped me for a while, but a nice feature is that you can play any level, so I came back to it later. I think anyone who likes minimalistic puzzles should try this one, even out of sale, but keep in mind it is rather short.

Very fun. Time mechanic is reminicient of P.B Winterbottom. Not that many levels but for the 3 dollars it is well worth it
Impressively clever little thing. The core idea of parallel, but interacting timelines is not actually unique, but its execution in the minimalist environment was really, really sweet. The Chronos Principle is one of the best abstract/minimalist puzzles out there, I'm hoping to see more games like this someday.
this game is so cool... and make me think hard of some levels :V you shoud try it if like puzzle game, and illusion :thinking:
Fun, short game. They puzzles aren't that challenging (not a breeze either), but the exploration of the idea is interesting. I do wish you had a fast forward button though, because say you spend time thinking in-between steps, well you have to sit there for that entire time until the box moves, which does get annoying. Not so much that it's a quit moment, just you know it does detract a bit from the experience. As far as accessibility goes I don't have good short-term memory or visualization ability but was able to complete all levels without too much difficulty (a few gave me a bit) by simply taking a good look at it.
Just beat it in 1 sitting; fantastic game. I loved every second of it.
High production value, and an interesting ruleset. The puzzles felt easy and will give around 1.5 hours of content, which is decent value for the price. It would have been nice to have an option for the game to not be fullscreen. On the other hand, the puzzles could really use some polishing. The game has quite a few tutorial puzzles and a lot of puzzles that can be cheesed or that have unintended solutions. There were also multiple times where puzzles were reused with no change in the solution.
This game seems fun, but before diving in, I was hit with poor display issues on a Mac. There are no resolution settings, so the game auto-opens in full screen, with only a small 1/4 hosting the game. To press any buttons with the mouse, I have to guess where they would be if the game was fullscreen, and the button presses in the 1/4 screen respectively.
Awesome design and mind bending puzzles - really well managed learning curve to the principles of the game too. Tempted to try to solve all the levels in one sitting but I might just go crazy. Some of the levels are insanely frustrating, then very satisfying when you get them.
