Weird,,, Quirky,,, but rather entertaining. A little short in its current state, but still worth the price in my opinion.

Liked it a lot. Reminds me of Superhot in some ways (scenes to be solved), but with it's unique mechanics. Lets you feel like you are the Quicksilver from X-men. Bullets fly around in a very satisfying way. Great fun.
Trinity! Help!

Really enjoying this. I wanted to give a positive review after less than an hour gameplay, to encourage anyone reading this to bite the bullet and download. A few kinks to work out, optimisations to introduce and content to release..... but for an early access game its in pretty solid shape.

For Early access, it's really good! For game play it's pretty good, I like the idea, but I've managed to complete most everything in about an hour. Played a couple had levels, they're good, but I don't think I'll be picking this game up again any time soon. Would say the $15 price point is the absolute max I would pay for this game, if it's on sale, try it out

Fun if you enjoy time-manipulation games, if a little lacking in the number of missions at present.
It's currently still marked Early Access, but doesn't seem to have received any improvements recently.
The workshop mode seems a bit incomplete, so it's not really user-extendable at the moment, but hopefully it'll be more fleshed out in future.

Nice innovative "Just In Time Inc + Superhot" style puzzle action. Several hours of interesting gameplay or more if play with time limit enabled. Teleport and smooth loco options.

Graphics so-so, but funny. Some bugs with controls.
8/10.

it says in the description that it is like marvels quicksilver. they must be refering to to the one that was in age of ultron and not days of future past. idk what timescale they use but it should atleast be 1000x slower than normal time to emulate the quicksilver scenes

Its not really worth the money, most of the time you'd glitch and cant turn the gear thingy for menu. If this was $4.99 then that'd be better but to be real. Its just a waste of $15.00

I really loved Stride so I thought I'd try their other game. I know its in early access, so I am willing to wait for the final product to change my vote, but right now its a pass.
The puzzles are incredibly straight forward even once I got to the hard level. I expected the first ones to be easy to help you understand the mechanics, but its just a grind.
The slowdown mechanism serves no purpose in any of the levels I've played (80% of the easy and 20% of the hard) because you need to immediately slow down time fully. Perhaps this is part of a planned development where the beginning of the level has some variability that necessitates letting time go faster/slower for a bit.
I would personally ditch the gear twist mechanic for the menu. I don't feel any connection between the gear and the rest of the game (it would be different if your character used some kind of a gear in the game and it was meant to be more immersive), so it just adds to the grind because I want to hit a button and move on/redo the level.
It might turn into something great (I hope it does), but if you came from Stride, I'd encourage you to lower your expectations before buying this.
