Life is tiny and we should apply our time on this planet. This is the thesis of flies time, the latest game for children’s programmers. You review control over a common house to complete the wish list before a shockingly tiny life. This causes a crazy dashboard to achieve your goals in one gear. Although I enjoyed the discovery at any time and lived on the run where I collected all my extracts to complete the control list, my life expectancy is almost as tiny as the title character.
The fly time falls into the environments, which can usually be found flies – houses, channels and even a museum – and requires the performance of the tasks described in an abstract way. For example, the list can say: “make someone laugh” or “leave your trail” without further explanations. Instead, the player leaves his own devices to find out what every mysterious tip means. For example, “make someone laugh”, it requires finding a sleeping person and walking on sole feet to fool them.
The hook is that as a fly you have a very tiny life; The game occupies the average human life in the years from the country that you will choose at the beginning, based on the data of the World Health Organization, and transforms it into seconds. This means that if you choose Japan, you will receive 84.5 seconds, while other countries may have lower life expectations. Fortunately, after entering the puzzle or activity, the time ceases to allow precise movement without the current counting. If you find a clock, you can also charge your timer by scrolling your hands.
The rupture of each puzzle is satisfying, but real excitement is associated with an attempt to complete all elements of the bucket list in the life of one fly. Simple control elements, which only include running a flies without pressure buttons outside the list displaying, allows you to put pressure on puzzles and challenges. After breaking the puzzle will not last long before you can connect them to complete the entire list in one gear. The combination of puzzles and setting an optimized path adds to the experience of an accessible element of speedrunning-lite, and passing through each element each time is a thrill. However, I had several runs broken sometimes with minimal mechanics associated with navigation with a different level of home; Because there are no tutorials, it took me reliable traversing the floors until the end of the game.
After reaching the feature of each element of the list in one gear, you will unlock the next level. I liked the repetition of the interpretation process of each abstract checklist on four levels of time flies, but because it took me only 30 gears to complete the whole game, the experience ended when I started to feel at home with conventions of mechanics and puzzles. This can be interpreted as an additional level of meta-commission in a lethical character of life and there is something to say about a game that does not pass her greeting, but I was longing for more.

In addition to the main goals, you can deal with optional superior achievements, which are often as mysterious as stock market elements. But in addition to collecting 12 puzzle elements, which are hidden in various parts of the stages outside the turbulent path, I did not feel to complete these achievements in the way I felt forced to check each element of the main list.
The final stage and subsequent cutscenes serve as the culmination of everything you have learned and achieved, causing a sense of nostalgia and sentimentalization in an extremely tiny journey presented in flies. Although this aptly shows the basic message of the title about how quickly life goes through, just as people often expressed when their time ends, everything passes so quickly, and I wished a little longer.
