Entwined Time - a puzzle game with two time dimensions

- That's right, this is another game in the "cursed undos" genre. Each character has a list of actions, but you can undo characters at a different timing than you've used them, allowing for cursed interactions, and apparently this game was like a year in development and has 10+ chapters.

"i don't think the time manipulation is here yet"
he says as the words: REIWIND HEAVY are prominently displayed on screen.
I think this is the true definition of having 2 time dimensions, rather than the 2nd one being a "reality axis", though it would have to sacrifice the perpendicularity of the dimensions, but adds the benefit of being able to influence one another either moving forward or backward in time.
If this game has two time dimensions then terraria has 3 spatial dimensions
@@godlyvex5543One _could_ sensibly argue that the world of Terraria is three-dimensional, you just interact with it through a 2D interface
@@godlyvex5543 well we normally call games like terraria 2.5d, so maybe we can count this as 1.5d in time?
@@K0nomi That makes sense.
I think the game has three, not two.
Light and Heavy both have their own time dimentions they move forwards and backwards in as denoted by their undo stacks, but there's also a 3rd time dimention that they can only go forward in, as denoted by the turn counter, and as expressed in things like gravity taking effect even after you rewind (you're going backwards in the time dimention of one of the characters yet still marching forward in the 3rd time dimention)
this feels like the dev found what would typically be considered a bug in the game during early development and went "actually thats really cool" and decided to make it the main feature of the game.
oh my god this game got advanced so fast
level 4 was genuinely cursed
Advanced?

here before the inevitable 3rd time dimension plot twist
we antimatter dimensions now
I would explain how having two time dimensions would work, but I am running out of one time dimension to do so.
So not only do they have their own timelines, but one robot redoing can change their partner’s position while leaving their timeline intact.
Time to get a physicist to play this? :V
Samet probably will at some point.
Ah so these are the creatures from a universe with 2 time dimensions that was mentioned in 4D Golf
Imagine a universe with two time dimensions
Actually Greg Egan wrote a very weird scifi novel Dichronauts with that exact setting
@@YT-gv3cz It’s not exactly so but yeah! (In any case it’s nice reading.)
Would be hard to explain; the difference is between “timelike” dimensions and actually how much dimensional we can feel time to be; I think Egan himself had in the notes that it follows from something basic that time should be exactly one-dimensional⁽¹⁾. “Timelike” is a term intertwined with our own spacetime signature which isn’t exactly a good coinage specifically because in other signatures massive particles can have more freedom in their motion, like in another spacetime Egan used in the Orthogonal trilogy; it’s just a 4D euclidean space considered as a spacetime! …well, a curved version of it, anyway. It would seem then that there are four “time axes” and no “space axes” which is absurd. Instead what’s happening is that all directions are timelike which doesn’t preclude of there being a merit in partitioning areas of spacetime into “space snapshots” moving in time.
I’m probably not very much comprehensible there but in the end it seems there can’t be two simultaneous time dynamics, either by virtue of our methods of solving physics and seeing the world (both not really arbitrary), or something else close to that. Except in simpler models where we can forget about some fundamental consequences of quantum field theory (like fields with imaginary mass being unstable and not giving rise to tachyons one could touch and look at).
⁽¹⁾ Have this with a grain of salt because I haven’t seen this exact argument anywhere in physics text yet, moreso that I don’t know how to search for that; though a problem with confirmation is that physicists are mainly interested in our own spacetime only and so you need to dig real deep into mathematical physics to find something about this. And the argument looked alright to me when I remembered it.
Stoked to see you LP my game! New cursed interactions await if you keep playing~

YESSSSS, I LOVE BOTH THE DEV AND THE GAME!!!
Chapter Omega 💀
World Omega 🗣
Somehow reminds me about Meet me at NooN. There are two hourglass creatures that go in opposite directions in time.
Entwined Time was inspired by Meet me at NooN with a splash of Braid! I worried at first that I was making a game that's too derivative but it goes to completely new places, especially starting from Chapter 1.
@@Patashu Oh it’s your game? Nice! 👏👍
If patashu wasn't in your discord, chess battle advanced wouldn't be added there.
That's in an alternate timeline

Its interesting because you can move forward and back in time, in both time dimensions...
It's a 2d time dimension that you can move in...
I saw crewmates in the thumbnail at first
What's cool to me is that a lot of the levels end off with them moving exactly in the way they need to, give or take. Like, in 0-9, heavy only ends up moving down, and light only ends up moving right.
We all thought about 4d spacial, but never 2d time.
Now I need to actually play the game so that I can watch these videos as they come out (I'm hoping you'll make a full playthrough)
The icons seem to mean
Arrows: a character moved
Two down arrows: a character began falling (heavy falls 2 tiles/turn)
Wing: Light is hovering (it starts falling the next turn)
Arrow pointing to a sphere: character has landed
chest background adventure
yaay another video from Icely!!!
The words I heard the most: UNDO
This game looks so twisted, pls make a full playthrough so I can understand it lol
Martian pebble. The meme lives on
Funny, it wasn't that long ago that I was thinking "how the fuck would a world with more than one time axis work?"

AJupiter Boulder to play this a week later
Is this the universe the 4d golf being was talking about
undoing dimensional time travel

Reminds me of Your-Only-Move-Is Hustle
Wow... No, I thought you meant 2 orthogonal dimensions.
I have an idea for a puzzle game with a '2D timeline grid' but it still needs some time to cook in the oven.

This game is great. I so badly want to see levels Ω and -1, but I don't think I have it in me to actually get to them myself T_T
Ω shouldn't take that long to reach! -1, on the other hand...
Continuity breaks allowed
this is 4d with 2 time dimensions and 2 space dimensions
Light Heavy Advanced
I literally had an idea like 4 months ago about 2d time
Since dimensions can be represented with x y and z
I thought... Well... Why not time too?
And seeing this made me jump like oh my god
We all have the same braincells, we all live in the same monkey brain
Glad to same-hat with you!

Chapter Ω?
I wanna Lockpick flashbacks
Funnily enough, we both came up with the idea independently
@@Patashu I only mentioned it because as of posting this video, he's got two hidden videos in the lockpick playlist
He's reached the last world for the next video, but that second one might be Omega related...
Wait, are you coping aliensrock with this game?
Cool concept, though maybe something looks a bit unpolished.
2nd time of asking you to play detective GUI.
there are chess battles in this?
Hey man i just bought islands insight its so expensive
very good idea, but needed better level progression
