A two time manipulation puzzle game. Two robots, Heavy and Light, have their own timelines that can independently record and rewind actions. Solve hundreds of puzzles across 12+ chapters, learning increasingly time-bending mechanics in the process.
Background
Heavy and Light are maintenance robots working onboard the Chrono Station, a fantastical installation in low orbit that takes time from where it's needed and transfers it to where it's needed.
Tragically, the station has suffered from chronic understaffing - so when one day the Chrono Helix catastrophically fails, they're the only robots available to deal with the crisis. Flung to the edge of the Chrono Station, they find that the Chrono Station has been blown into hundreds of puzzles, containing increasingly exotic matter the closer you get to the Reactor Lab - and that their timelines have been isolated from one another. They can now move and rewind independently, and learning every consequence and nuance of this will be necessary to make it back in time and fix things before they get worse.
Features
A turn based, tile based thinky puzzle game. No dexterity elements or hidden information - Build a mental model of how the game works to succeed.
Hundreds of puzzles across 12+ chapters, each one introducing new elements, from being able to break and come back to life to exotic matter that alters the very concept of rewinding itself.
Copy, paste and scrub through replays, so you'll never go 'wait, I forgot how I did that' again.
Gain Insight mode. Stuck? Check out a puzzle that's an easier or remixed version - you still have to solve it yourself, and you might gain the necessary insight in the process.
Advanced and post-game puzzles, for those ready to master space-time itself.
A level editor and Community Puzzles tab. Hundreds of custom puzzles made by fans, and if you come up with something I haven't seen before, it can be included in the game!
