Timeless

Timeless is a frantic, fast-paced 2D puzzle game developed for Brackeys Game Jam 2020.2, created in just 7 days by a small team of three friends (including me). Built with a retro-inspired top-down pixel art style, the game puts you in the boots of a lone explorer trying to escape a mysterious, ancient place, one room at a time.

The twist? Each level is timed. You must reach the exit before the countdown hits zero. If you don’t, time rewinds, and you’re flung right back to the starting point—erasing all your progress for that level. This core mechanic adds a thrilling layer of tension, forcing players to not only solve puzzles but also optimize their routes and think on their feet. The challenge increases as you progress, with more complex room layouts, traps, and timing-based obstacles.

The game was made entirely during the Brackeys game jam using Unity, with handcrafted pixel art visuals, original sound effects, and gameplay logic built from scratch. We also documented the entire development journey in a YouTube video, showcasing our jam process, challenges, and design decisions.

Whether you're into jam games, puzzles, or time-based mechanics, Timeless offers a short but memorable challenge that tests both logic and reaction speed. Try it out, beat the clock, and see how far you can go before time pulls you back!
