2021 updates
Hello fellow time travelers, It's been a long time since the last update. The truth us, I used my time machine to skip most of 2020. Nonetheless, there are lots of changes in the works. I ran a bunch of play-testers, and learned a lot from the results. Most of the levels have ove

Just a quick update: I've been working on lots of level revisions, some new mechanics, and various bug fixes. I've also been recruiting more playtesters; I want to improve + tighten the gameplay, especially early game. Timing's uncertain, given certain global events, but I'm hopi

Updates
Hello fellow time travelers, Just a quick word of what I've been working on. I've been mostly doing marketing-type-stuff, though have made several tweaks / fixes to the game. I haven't released a new version of the game containing them yet, as there's still more I want to do, but

Greetings fellow time travelers,
Patch v0.941 is out, and has added / changed a bunch of stuff:

The game now has steam achievements; 17 of them in fact. I anticipate adding more in the future.
Lots of level tweaks, based on player feedback
Also based on player feedback, some of the early levels have moved around a bit
Various visual tweaks
Fixing miscellaneous bugs
Removed the star gained by beating par time, the par time is still there
Some stuff I'd love feedback on:

Difficulty and pacing of levels
Additional achievement suggestions
How the character's visible cells are drawn; there have been issues with it being unclear
Thanks,

Update on achievements
Greetings fellow time travelers, I'm working on achievements (and some other stuff) at the moment, but I won't be releasing the update allowing you to earn them until some time next week. I hadn't meant for the achievements to show up in steam until then, but must have configured

This is a large update, containing numerous changes. One major change is that the levels have been streamlined, made more interesting and sometimes replaced entirely. I played a lot of ‘Baba Is You’ over the break (awesome game btw), and really liked the pacing, apparent simplicity, ability to undo moves and fully visible state, so I tried to incorporate some of that.
All the text was weighing down time travel trainer, and not really adding much, so I really tried to streamline that; there’s still text, of course, but now it shouldn’t get in the way of gameplay so much.
Most of the levels have been changed or replaced outright; there’s now less repetition of known techniques, more puzzles that challenge you with something different.
Other changes:

Tweaked throw controls to play nice with mac
Tweaked general throw controls
Changed how mouse-view works; now shows which gates connect to which buttons/plates
Fixed various graphical glitches
Added a 'reload from 2 time machines ago' option
Enabled Esc and other hotkeys for use in menu system
Made most maps initially revealed
Did some research on mac + linux compatibility; nothing definite yet though

Time Travel Trainer update
Greetings fellow time travelers! Recently I've been looking into mac + linux compatibility; the game's written in Java, so should be pretty portable, but I still need to figure out a few things for the mac os and linux builds. There are text instructions (in a txt file in the gam

Greetings fellow time travelers!
I’ve been mainly working on a new trailer and trying to understand this wacky concept of ‘marketing’ (I still have no clue), but I have also put a small patch together. Changes:

The game is now code signed; it probably won’t affect many people, but for those running the java jar directly, you should get a friendly message instead of a dire warning
The launcher now plays nice with keyboard input
When a temporal paradox is caused, stuff explodes more
Fixed a minor visual glitch where objects at edge of view don’t get drawn in some situations
Tweaks were made to a few levels
Included a text file with instructions for running the game in mac os and linux; the process is rough and not user friendly to do, but should work if you have java installed. It’s still not officially supported for max/linux yet; I hope to remedy that in the future
Now in the game your cousin Roman won’t repeatedly call to invite you bowling. He didn’t before, but he won’t now either.
Possibly some other stuff I don’t remember
Thanks for your support!
Tyler, the dev
