❤ Leveraging Time Travel and Freeze

At the heart of the gameplay, players control two distinct characters - an elderly inventor and his friendly snail companion. The inventor can freely traverse between the "Before" and "After" time periods, while the snail holds the power to freeze time entirely. Combining these complementary abilities forms the core of the puzzle design. For instance, players may need to manipulate the past environment, such as growing plants or breaking obstacles, in order to open up new paths in the present. Conversely, freezing time allows players to position movable objects or bypass hazards that would be impossible in real-time.

❤ Clever, Varied Puzzles

Reviewers praise the creativity and diversity of the puzzles. Each level introduces new ways to leverage the time travel and time freeze mechanics, challenging players to think critically and experiment. Solutions often require multi-step plans, carefully coordinating actions across the "Before" and "After" time periods. One standout puzzle has players using an anvil, flaming cannonballs, and strategic time switching just to open a simple door. While not overly difficult, the puzzles consistently engage the player's problem-solving skills without feeling overly complicated or frustrating.

❤ Charming Character Dynamics

Adding to the puzzle-solving experience is the endearing relationship between the elderly inventor and his snail companion. The two protagonists engage in lighthearted banter, with reviewers highlighting the humor and charm of their interactions. This character-driven element complements the gameplay nicely, as players must rely on the unique abilities of both the inventor and the snail to progress. The synergy between the two personalities becomes an integral part of the overall experience.
