No
Time To explain
I'm
a blogger from the future, there’s no time to explain!
So,
“No Time to Explain,” this was originally a free flash game by
Tom Brien (I don't know him ether)
Later,
after the game got high praise, he decided to release a full version
of the game under the company name Tiny Build Games (I don't know
them either) and after being on Kickstarter and then some time, the
game was finished and it got green lighted on steam. (at least I know
what a steam is).
Ok,
so now that the history lesson is over on to the game.
No
Time to explain is a platformer much like a Mario game with Super
Meat Boy levels, which is good and all, but what really makes this
game different in a game play prospective is the gun, not like a BOOM
gun, more like a
“FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo.....” gun.
You
see this gun fires a big blue lazer were ever you point and click.
Now, there are no enemies to kill so what is the gun for? Well you
see, your charterers dexterity is like at a 3 at best and there’s
some big holes you have to jump over and you just can’t do it
without the guns help.
The
gun has a super strong kick back so you can use that to move around,
but it's not as simple as pointing it down and flying in to space, it
can only push you with a strong force for a short amount of time,
then it gets weaker and weaker and weaker till it's out of power.
That's
not the only gun in the game there a lot of different... things...
that change the way you play the game so just when you think “Yah,
I got this gun thing down,” you go to the next level and then you
have to eat the cake so you can become fat and heavy so you can roll
down the hill and brake the wall but if you touch the spikes you will
become your skinny light self but when you’re fat you can’t use
the gun as efficiently, and on the next level you get no gun but you
can use this slime stuff to launch your self, then there’s the shot
gun and the level where you’re in a straight jacket and, you get
the idea.
Ok
so sounds weird doesn't it? And you would be right.
The
story is like (Doctor Who quote here) and the first game to make me
laugh like actually
laugh, not at a glitch or an inside joke among my friends (yes I have
those) but at some thing that was actually put in the game, and this
isn't a one time thing either, this has happened multiple times.
So
what is this story you ask? Well your future self needs your help
when suddenly...
A
GIANT SPACE CRAB ALIEN GRABS HIM AND RUNS OFF!!!
Sorry,
I had to do that but the game has you travel through time and it has
all the paradoxes in it, even the one where your evil self trys to
kill you.
The
game doesn't give you that much story or even an explanation to what
is going on. One second you just beat a hard level and then the next
then you know your on a life boat and there’s a giant shark octopus
that shots lasers trying to kill, for just no reason, it comes out of
no where and tries to kill you. This game is like that friend, you
know the one where your just sitting in class and he randomly says
something like:
“You
know what would be cool?”
“If
like an army of dinosaur-tanks with lasers would fly over the school
and kill all of us!”
And
the teacher is like:
“SIT
DOWN!”
Now
the game is not perfect some of the textures overlap and look weird
and some of the bosses glitched out for me.
But
all that stuff that can be fixed with time. But you probably won’t
see the new TinyBuildGames fix these problems because now that they
have the successful game “No Time To Explain,” they have run off
to make their next big game, which isn't a bad thing, this is in
fact, great that they’re going to make more games with the same
humor and style of this game, but in doing so they might forget this
game, just because they released the game doesn't mean they should
end it there. You see, they released the game for pc,that means you
can update it when ever you want and yes I know they released a free
DLC (I'll go over DLC one day) but that does not mean as they make
new games they will go back to this one to fix small problems.
But
in defense, those small problems give the game a certain feel to it,
not like a Sonic 06 feel but a “Hey, this game is an indie game and
you love it” I don't know it's hard to explain probably because
this is the first of it's kind but don't just blindly take my word
for it, you can still play the free flash version:
and
everywere.
Oh
what’s that? I forgot to quote the game, OK.
MY
RIBS ARE IN MY EYES!
There
now you have to play the game.
