Project Specs
TimeTrick.
A 7-day game jam puzzle-platformer where the level resets every 60 seconds with subtle, unpredictable changes each loop.
Overview Brief
Built for the AprilFool's Game Jam in 7 days, TimeTrick is a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer that quietly mutates between loops. Each 60-second reset changes one or two details — testing whether the player noticed.
“How can a subtly changing time loop be used to deceive players and challenge their memory?”
The Objective
Reward observation and memory through small, carefully chosen lies — small enough to feel uncanny rather than unfair.
