Carrying over the state at branching and merging
Not only does it turn back time, but it also merges changes made in different time axes. We use Git commits, branches, merges, and reverts as play mechanisms.
Cross the terrain with keys and tools
Colored doors and cliffs will block your path. Use a combination of keys, ladders, jet packs, pressure plates, and time manipulation to aim for the place on the far right where you can take pictures.
Proceed through 25 stages and any assignments
The main story has 25 stages, and abilities are released in stages. Challenges and trophies for the characters are also available, and you can select 4 sides without the tutorial in the Demo menu.
