Time Swap

Race through both time and space as you try to make it to the end in time!

This is a rough prototype of a game idea I've had for about 5 years. This game is built as an endless runner, but my full idea includes the player actually controlling the car and driving through the openings in time. The various city layouts in all three timelines was quickly put together; this will be something that requires a significant amount of work to build, something that didn't fit the short time frame of a week-long jam.

For this game, you have 5 minutes to get to the end line. See if you can find a path through various time periods to beat the clock! Will you jump back in time, back before the skyscraper, thereby going straight rather than turning to follow the road? Just be warned - the further back you go, the slower your car goes! But, that trade-off is the more simplistic route. Which will you choose?

Controls

- Choose your time period by clicking the buttons at the bottom as they appear.

- Right Mouse Click or hit the P key to pause the game; resume the game from the menu that appears or return to the main menu

Art assets from Kenney. SFX from a Humble Bundle. Music lyrics by Bing AI and melody by Suno AI (all three versions). Programming by me.

I plan to continue developing this, hopefully adding in more racing elements and better time travel mechanics. Any suggestions or comments welcome! There might be bugs when pausing the game. That was one of the trade-offs I made in this so you could exit back to the main menu and quit a run.
