Time Master Review (Cristovelli)

I'll recommend this at its sale price. The puzzles are challenging, but what I don't really enjoy is the time attack aspect of it. The controls are not precise enough to consistently, accurately perform the tight timing needed to three-star some of the levels. This is because your character has no grid movement constraints in what is basically a sokoban puzzle game, making it very easy to misalign directionally-specific operations and mess up a run. In later levels this becomes extremely aggravating, and turns the gameplay into as much of a racing game as a puzzle one. Optimizing moves in a game like this is one thing, but trying to cut milliseconds off your time by finding the perfect flow where you have omni-directional movement becomes tedious. The puzzles themselves are alright, and it has some low-budget charm. I do not feel compelled to master its most demanding challenges, however.
