Timeslip is a time travelling 2D platform game where you are caught in a continual time loop, forever travelling back in time to encounter past echoes of yourself. While using past echoes is the key to opening doors and progressing through the levels, they must also be avoided to prevent causing a paradox. Also worth avoiding are the pesky gnomes! In their defense, though, they seem to just doing their job of guarding the play area. One neat thing about the gnomes is that they, too, are caught in the temporal loop. Don't count on them staying dead. Fortunately, your past snail self should take care of them. Not only does the player snail have to reach the exit, but it also has to grab a certain set of coins. Timeslip is difficult and fun. It was originally a Playstation One game developed with a Net Yaroze dev kit and released on an "Official Playstation Magazine UK" cover disk. It was the very first game to feature "self co-op" back in 1999. It was re-released for the XBLIG channel featuring updated HD graphics and a fresh sound track with the ability to switch back to the original version for that retro feeling. The PC version is free. |
