Paradox (prototype)

To celebrate the end of an era, I thought I might dig up some old flash game prototypes. They are REALLY old and not great, but maybe some of you will find them interesting. Note that they are prototypes, so be prepared to encounter loads of bugs.


This is a prototype for a time-travelling puzzle platformer from around 2010 called Paradox. You can run, jump, wall jump and travel back in time. But be careful not to interfere with any of your former selves! Otherwise, you'll trigger a paradox that will erase all subsequent incarnations of yourself. You can watch a gameplay demo of it here: https://youtu.be/r_F8Q4touOQ



Move: [left] / [right]

Jump: [a]

Time travel: hold [s] (To speed up time travel, also hold [down]. Items you picked up will be dropped when time travelling)


This is the latest playable build that I could find. There's only about 4 stages in this build, and they are unfortunately all pretty difficult. Sorry about that.


The graphics are all prototype scribbles and don't look very good, but I was quite proud of the concept at the time. Then I played Braid and abandoned it soon afterwards.


That is all. Happy holidays to you all, and cheers to Flash!
