The Joystiq Free Game Club: Time Fukc
by Justin McElroy

As with most of McMillen's Flash platformers, explaining its gameplay is almost as difficult as understanding its meaning (if there even is one). Suffice to say the game's mechanics play with time, dimensional shifting and forms part of, according to the release, "an allegorical game about stuff you've never experienced."
McMillen continues to have an incredibly fresh perspective that hasn't disappointed yet: Time Fkuc is no exception. It's lovely, with better animations than the art would suggest, and a really cool soundtrack. Plus, it's free! If you're still not convinced, there's a trailer after the break, placed there because it contains a bad word and is ... well, it's kind of unsettling.

That's the best time for it. Just don't let the boss catch ya!

I played the first half dozen levels. It's a Braid-type puzzler and the Big Brother narrator is very much like GLADOS. Looks pretty fun.

good game I just hate using my small keyboard to play
Brendan H @ Sep 18th 2009 2:16PM
It's not the size of the keyboard, it's what you do with it.
Husher @ Sep 18th 2009 2:38PM
gotcha.
(makes note) "Don't play good games on tiny keyboard"
...
(makes anther note) "PS never buy chinchilla size keyboards"

Damn, that was pretty awesome. I had to stop playing (@ work), but I plan on trying to finish this weekend.
Thanks Joystiq!

Great game, nice ideas for it. Great music, just very very repetitive, which was annoying...

The face icon on the right looks... racially negative?
TheKarmaPolice @ Sep 18th 2009 1:04PM
only if you think it does
Husher @ Sep 18th 2009 2:39PM
and if you think it does. that make you a racist.
:V
Enosoma @ Sep 18th 2009 5:34PM
The term is racist. Not "a" racist.
And that I am not. I just know how to spot racial... uh... stereotypes.

Fun Game, I'll be playing this at work today!
Balloonfighter99 @ Sep 18th 2009 12:07PM
Great, here comes more Sambo controversy.

Hey, Justin. How about a feature on "Don't Look Back"? It's one of my favorite Flash games of all time.

You're doing it wrong!
It's great that you guys are showcasing Time Fkuc, and I'm really happy for you, but Don't Look Back is the best flash game of all time!
Ipsum @ Sep 18th 2009 12:48PM
Dammit, now I'm doing it wrong.
"...I'mma let you finish..."
Tiptup300 @ Sep 18th 2009 2:09PM
I love that game, but this time fukc, I just can't enjoy it.
Brendan H @ Sep 18th 2009 2:22PM
"all orders of the second word's letters are acceptable"
Wouldn't the clothing company FCUK (French Connection UK) have a legit claim to their specific spelling of that word?
WiredKnight @ Sep 18th 2009 3:02PM
Not really, because for them its not really a word, its an acronym. F.C.U.K. is different from simply misspelling f-u-c-k.

I can't seem to get passed the 'loading the future' message. Where's the start button?
JeezWhiz87 @ Sep 18th 2009 6:23PM
Good find, thanks Joypad!
Knives @ Sep 18th 2009 6:33PM
It was alright. "Closure" and "Don't Look Back" it ain't, though. It's just a box-pushing puzzler with a twist for the most part, and platforming is well and truly minimalistic.
Damn Closure was freakin' sweeeet.
