Time Fkuc Will Mess With Your Head
By Jared Newman
As with so many of Edmund McMillen’s games, I’m left with too many thoughts and feelings about Time Fkuc to articulate, so I’ll just let him say it:
Time Cfuk is a game about stasis, its a game about perspective and viewing both sides of the story from afar, its a game about blocks, platforms, drinking, high school reunions and work time fun.
Time Fcku is a “puzzle platformer” about finding logic in irrelevance, its a 1+1=2 formula that will ask more from you after you leave it alone, its a community experience about communication with people who you dont like.
Ostensibly, Time Fkuc (or however you want to spell it, apparently), requires you to navigate spikes, place blocks, travel through portals and shift gravity, with the ability to enter another dimension that changes the landscape entirely. All the while, a person who claims to be you from another time offers advice, breaks your spirits and sends the occasional cryptic philosophy. It’s at once the deepest and most straightforward game McMillen has designed, this time with William Good and music from Justin Karpel. Check it out at Newgrounds.
