Although the idea's the same??”time-traveling bodies meddle with the bolt of the cosmos to breach switch-and-lever puzzles??”it's abundant below demanding on your mind. There's no approximate time limit, and you're chargeless to blend about with your slow-motion and fast-forward admiral about uninhibited. The stages themselves are abundant bigger designed, and the puzzles, while never addictive (you get bags of hints), are still decidedly engaging.
