Time Hacker
Time Hacker is an addictive VR game where your creative ability is what gets you through the levels. Your only weapon is the power to stop time. That means, like Marvel’s Quicksilver, you can enjoy playing with the scene while your enemies are effectively frozen.

10 itemsAbout the Game
An unlikely hero with an unusual power
In a laboratory where intelligent and powerful robots are under development, a failure suddenly occurs. This transforms the seemingly innocuous machines into bloodthirsty agents of evil. But you have a secret weapon: the ability to stop time momentarily. Use your precious seconds of frozen time to make small but critical changes, then, when the normal flow of time is restored, watch as the hilarious chaos unfolds.
A god of manipulation
Take “possession” of the robots, then manipulate them into annihilation. To ensure every last one of those evil machines is put to rest though, you’ll also need to make clever changes to the scene.
Create a glorious “chain of destruction”
Explore the immersive VR environment, then set up “booby traps” that will lead to satisfying “conclusions.” Blow up flammable barrels and explosive cylinders. Break chains, rescue hostages, dodge shots, change the direction of cars and cranes, place dynamite, shockers, and more. Make sure you get all the robots though, because if you don’t, you’ll be the one who ends up dead.
Train a devious mind
Time Hacker currently features more than 40 exciting levels of varying difficulty. Go through the easy levels to build up your abilities and learn the basic controls. Gradually unlock more difficult levels as you progress. To complete the most difficult levels, you’ll need to carefully plot a sequence of glorious destruction. To do so, you’ll need both mastery of the controls and sharp (and devious) mind.
Sandbox Mode
Time Hacker also comes with “Sandbox Mode,” where you can place bots, cars, explosives, and any other items at will. Here, the sky's the limit on your creative destruction.
