What players say
Гра мені сподобалася. Вона дуже коротка, але головоломки цікаві. За таку маленьку ціну рекомендую.
Trying to master time feels like a clock without a minute hand - all confusing and funny. My attempts to control time are like a cat playing with a ball of yarn - chaotic but adorable!
The negative review is mostly for the abrupt ending, however the rest of it wasn't good either. Uninspired soundtrack, horrific and swallow story and blunt characters... The gameplay is not refined even after all the time the game has been released and did stumble upon a few glitches. The puzzles were tasteless and the time mechanic mediocre at best. Only positive the graphics that were at least decent... Overall it...
