About the Game

Escape Wheel is a 2D puzzler using time inversion mechanics.                                                                                  Subject 42 wakes up in a lab at the Palindrome research facility with no memory of how they got there. Help 42 escape by solving  25+ time bending, and mind bending, puzzle rooms.
Each puzzle has two rooms, one moves Forward in time. You'll move blocks, press buttons and move 42 around to prepare for the second half of the puzzle. Once you enter the Escape Wheel time will reverse and you must use the movements from the first half to help solve the second.
Puzzle mechanics include, moveable walk, sliding block, button combinations, precise movements of the character and certain object unaffected by time manipulation.
