A Space Between Time

A very good 2 hour jaunt into puzzle shenanigans! Worth the 5 bux!

Sometimes the puzzles are so simple they're hard and sometimes they're so hard they're simple. As someone who LOVES playing puzzle platformers, that's one of the best things I can say about a game. It's definitely a unique twist on a 2D game to be using a non-traditional 3rd dimension and that unique feature is implemented very well.

I recently played A Space Between Time, and it’s a really charming indie puzzle game that surprised me. You control a robot with the ability to manipulate time, but here’s the catch—you can move through time along the x and y axes separately. This opens up some really interesting puzzle dynamics as you revisit areas from different moments in time to access new paths. It’s a small game, but the idle animations are adorable, and the puzzles are challenging enough to keep you thinking without getting too frustrating. Plus, there's Steam Workshop support, so you can build and play user-created levels, which adds some nice replay value. For $5, it’s absolutely worth a shot
