Clever puzzler has you freely buzzing around trying to quickly achieve all your bucket list activities while avoiding sharp or gooey life-ending hazards<\/p>\n

The death of a housefly is usually an unceremonious event. Within minutes of the insect\u2019s appearance in our periphery, a tide of annoyance rises, and with the quick thwap of a swatter or rolled-up magazine, the bug is gone. Time Flies, a perception-warping bug puzzler, reimagines this inevitably short lifespan as an absurd tragedy \u2013 by providing the soon-to-perish pest with a bucket list.<\/p>\n

Over the course of roughly a minute, players freely buzz around minimalist 2D environments in an effort to make those last wishes come true. The fly\u2019s dreams arrive as vague, far-ranging clues such as \u201cmake someone laugh\u201d, \u201cfind God\u201d, \u201cstart a revolution\u201d and \u201cget rich\u201d, and it\u2019s your job to ricochet around the space until you land, often literally, on a clarifying and usually funny realisation. Similar to Coal Supper\u2019s satirical side-scroller, Thank Goodness You\u2019re Here!<\/a>, Time Flies relies wholly on experimentation and intuition to understand the world around you, rather than explicit quest markers or info dumps.<\/p>\n
