The Game

You've arrived in a mysterious castle. Switch between two doomed timelines to survive long enough to reach the exit. Hurry!

You have two timers. While the red timer is active, you can interact with the red timeline items and tiles. While the blue timer is active, you can interact with the blue timeline items and tiles.

Some items exist in both timelines, but behave differently. Delay bomb fuses, shift moving platforms, and navigate shifting worlds to reach the exit.
