Interesting but I think the puzzles are way too obtuse (I couldn't get anywhere without the hints) and I don't think the timer swapping you between timelines really works as a mechanic. To me it only makes the game more annoying without really adding anything. Maybe if it put you back to where you were in each timeline every time it changes, to stop you having to solve the same puzzles over and over, it would work better? It might also help to have a button to swap timelines, to save the player having to spam-hop just to get to the timeline they want.

Taxi RumbleThis was hard to progress even after reading the clues on description but still its a good puzzle game, our game is similar but the time travel aspect is different. Check it out :D

137 SecondsI really like the concept of using the timeline's information to solve puzzles in different times. I concur with the other comments and the developer notes that say the puzzles are a bit tricky. Maybe a way for the player to take control over which time line they're in would smooth out the puzzle solving.

Borrowed TimeHehe, I made kinda similar time travel / switch game back in the 2014 or so :D
Only managed to escape cell in one of 3 timelines and got lost.
Not a fan of limited turns, I'd rather do a separated button and free exploration.
3 timelines and not very clear puzzle mechanic requires some smoother introduction IMO, but it definitely have some potential

Downshifting DieThanks for the feedback! We intended for the jail cell locks to be an introduction but accidentally made that puzzle way too difficult. Allowing free exploration between timelines could work well, good point. Is your time travel game on Itch? I'd be interested to check it out.
Puzzle solutions are in the description, please don't feel bad for checking them!
This is a good one , i wounder how did you manage to do this in just 4 days , keep growing
