About

Blinx: The Time Sweeper is a 3D platformer where you're a cat janitor wielding a vacuum cleaner that manipulates time itself. Your TS-1000 Sweeper doesn't just suck up trash—it lets you slow, speed, reverse, pause, or record time's flow to solve environmental puzzles and navigate hazards. You're racing to prevent the world's end by cleaning up temporal anomalies across various stages. The time manipulation isn't window dressing: you'll rewind falling platforms, fast-forward through obstacles, or pause enemies mid-attack as core mechanics. It's built around experimenting with these powers in combination rather than pure twitch reflexes. The vacuum doubles as a weapon when you fire collected debris at threats. If you want platforming that treats time as a toolset instead of a gimmick, this delivers that concept before it became common.
