Great time travel mechanic, reminds me of Braid.

ahahaha, creative mechanics and story! Loved it!

Called it! It was earth all along :)

Seriously though, nice plot - levels could do with a little more content, but for a 48 hour dev the game is not at all bad

I laughed when I killed a rat by smashing it with a time machine. Also, the story is very good. And I loved the final twist :)

I always thought that Fry from Futurama looked a bit shifty! Seriously though, this game is hilarious, and although I could kind of see it coming, I still enjoyed the ending. Nicely done.

Loved it! Great idea and nice ending!

This is an interesting way to defeat enemies and I like how the story loops, but it's a little monotonous.

hahahaa nice one... Good final for your game

Very enjoyable, nice twist at the end!

RoryD22 Apr 2015, 22:01

Amusing indeed. Good little story. The only real 'time travel' was at the end. The rest of the time I just saw tab as 'set trap', and q as 'release trap'. I think you could do quite a bit more with this idea!

Amazing Game and great concept!

So funny and very creative theme implementation!!
Well made!! Congraz!

I love smashing rats with a time machine! Got a bit repetitive after a while, though. Also feels like the Braid-y time travel mechanic was wasted - most of the time I only needed to tap TAB to set the trap.

Haha, that was fun! The main mechanic had a really nice setup - during the intro you see the machine falling twice and think "heh, that's weird and fun", but when it turned into the main gameplay element I laughed out loud.
