A Step In Time
[Press R to restart level]
A Step In Time is a sokoban style 'meta' puzzle game where blocks representing gameplay variables can be joined together to solve interesting puzzles!
[If you get stuck on a level, you can go back to level select using the top-right button, then use a key to skip the current level]
How to Play
Push meta-blocks together to activate the connection. This will link the two together so that the gameplay variable represented by one is mirrored to the other.
For example, if a horizontal movement meta-block is connected to a health meta-block, moving right will increase hearts by 1, and moving left will decrease hearts by 1.
Here are the block types:
- Horizontal movement. Right 1, Left -1
- Vertical movement. Down 1, Up -1
- Health. Increases/decreases hearts.
- Moves. Increases/decreases number of moves remaining in the level.
- Time. When decreased, reverses time.
The goal of each level is to progress to the next level. Most of the time, this is accomplished by traversing to the flag.
Sometimes a level will have a move limit, you must complete the level only using this amount of moves.
Controls
- WASD or Arrow Keys to move.
- R to restart.
