kongregate.com— Mitch Hedberg's time machine might only go forward at regular speed, but the one here allows you to go back in time to interact with versions of yourself to solve some pretty mind-bending puzzles.

this game is buggy - the previous robot inputs are recorded and played back, which allows for paradoxes, but also causes slight variations in robot behavior between loops - very annoying when choreographing complex moves on some levelsp.s. the level 20 time machine falling is part of the level - look more closely - the bomb explodes and releases the pushbutton
Will somebody *please* make a portal mod that uses time-travelling?You could "timestamp" the portals so that entering the portal on one side spits you back out the other side at the same time that you opened it previously. Or maybe it would use the difference between the timestamps of either end to determine how far back to send you. It would be pretty sweet to watch all your "previous" selves running around and "setting up" for your run through the level, and it would add an interesting "timed" element to the whole game. I bet GladOS (I'm *sure* she made backups...) would certainly have some interesting things to say about temporal paradoxes and the like.Either way, it would make a helluva sequel...
If you get an account, it'll save your level!Yay for all thirty-five!...And the five bonus levels!...And the easter egg levels, even if they do kind of suck.

this is the first instance of a game like this that I've seen. Don't know which came first.

you have to keep retracing your steps in synchrony with past selves to not run out of spaces to jump on. it's my favorite level so far.

I couldn't get past 11. I knew what I had to do, but the mechanics of the boxes are a little funky.
