About the Game

Time Loader is a story-driven, physics-based, cute aesthetics, side-scrolling puzzle platformer with a twist. At the helm of a small robot, you’ll travel back to the 90s to prevent a tragic accident. Explore the house of your creator, solve brain-teasing environmental puzzles, acquire unique and powerful upgrades, and see the nature of common household items from an entirely new perspective!



But remember: meddling with time has serious consequences. You may succeed in changing the past, but can you deal with the result of your actions?

Gameplay Features:



  • Subverted perspectives
    Even the most familiar objects look different when you’re the size of a toy car. Will you watch your every move or dive head-first into this dangerous new world?

  • An arsenal to choose from
    Boosters, harpoons, screwdrivers… choose among dozens of upgrades to tackle each level and get the job done!

  • Dynamic and branching narratives
    Don’t just relive the past: change it! Every choice you make will influence the story and may lead to a different outcome. So do us a favor: change the past responsibly!

  • A complimentary dose of nostalgia
    Time Loader features music, references, and items straight out of the ‘90s. Relive your childhood or, if you’re too young for it, just gawk in awe at how primitive humanity used to be back then! Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of childhood combined with the serious tasks you have.
