"...I really like it! It's challenging and charming, like a Gameboy game from the late 80s...Very clever level design :)" - /u/chaosweasel

T-SWAP (short for Time Swapper) is the Portal-like 2D puzzle game without portals that you have all been waiting for!

You can swap your time/speed with that of moving objects by shooting at them with your T-GUN. Let's see if you can get through all the 10 puzzles!

Words from the author:

Second attempt for the GBJAM 5. 160x144 resolution with only 4 colors. This time I submitted a puzzle game that uses "swapping of time" as its main element.

All images hand-drawn, all code handwritten, all sounds (except backgroundmusic) mouth-made(!) over the course of approximately 24 hours in total.

If you play it: thanks! If you let me know your thoughts that would be awesome of you!!

Some notes:

• There are about 10 levels increasing in difficulty.
• Game is playable with 'WASD'+'F', arrow keys+space, or gamepad+A/B.
• You can swap your speed with that of a moving object with space/'F' (the T-SWAP gun is basically the Portal Gun of this game - if still unclear; see the animated .gif below)
• You can change the volume down with 'O' and up with 'P'.
• You can change screen zoom with numbers '1', '2', '3', and '4'.
• If you encounter a bug and get stuck you can press 'R' to restart the level.
• There's a smashing finale!
• You can also check out my earlier GBJAM5 submission to wind down.

Happy Time Swapping!

2016-10-06: Added a small UI on the top that displays current level and current speed. Also added a new level right at the start to allow players to more easily understand what they have to do in level 2 (the first actual puzzle room.)

2016-10-10: For all people that played this game and/or gave feedback, thank you very much! I will definetly be working on rebooting this game outside of the GBJAM context!

2016-10-12: Bugfixes with help of /u/PixelatedPope [Youtube]

2017-02-23: Was thinking about rebooting this game, but due to other project ideas it might be easier to just expand the puzzles in this one, so question for you guys... (let me know in a comment / message)

Anyone interested in seeing levels with more mechanics? Or simply just more levels?

2017-03-14: (Pi-Day) added 10 more levels for ONLY 10 cents! Only available as download; DRM free. Added a new game element; the 'T-GATE'.
