Have you tried "Timelie" yet? If you are wondering about trying it but need a second opinion, keep reading on.

Designed to play "Single Player Collaboration" style, Timelie offers two players to control: an unnamed girl and a totally awesome cat. By working together, the duo must use both the girl's powers to turn around and the small size of the cat (allowed to sneak through the ventilation holes!) And noisy water (enemies can be distracted for a short time!!) To explore the surreal world around you, escape from the rotating robots and complete Variety of challenging levels.

Timelie combines classic stealth tactics and the hero's unique ability to manipulate time. The goal of each level is simple: get to the door or escape pod without getting caught by a robot guard. The robots are armed with powerful search symptoms, and the girl or cat will catch and destroy them as soon as they see them. Fortunately, your schedule control allows you to go back and correct your mistakes every time you get caught. Once the two people successfully reach the exit, you can go back to the beginning and see their complete bold escape



Timelie's biggest flaw lies in combining this peak of difficulty with a relatively poor pace. Despite the "cooperative single-player" nature of levels that span most of the game's ad campaign, the cat is only available as a secondary playable character in the middle of World War II. So when you have the hardest task of working with the cat and pet, the two separate again for most of World III. I constantly felt like I didn't have nearly enough time to adjust to the new mechanics until everything had changed again.

However, Timelie's greatest strength lies in the interaction between her two protagonists. Despite not exchanging a single word, the girl and the cat clearly show great love for each other. The cat risks her life several times throughout history to save the girl. He leans over to pet the cat during quiet scenes - and sometimes the adorable animal even heads up as they visit the level of the hub connecting the different worlds. The interactions between humans and cats were both realistic and moving, and I never had enough.



Timelie will not be a game for everyone. It requires a lot of attention to detail and the ability to focus on a series of constantly changing variables simultaneously. But if you're a fan of puzzles that require you to think outside the box or want to see a twist on the classic invisible game formula, the first Urnique Studios game might be worth a try.
