Time Twister

Move with the arrows, teleport with the Z key, avoid the robots. Teleportation takes you back in time, sort of, so that a ghost player appears and makes the moves you did. Each robot chases the nearest player (either you or a ghost). Once you get killed, you can press the X key to start a new game.

Time Twister was written by John Stracke. It was inspired by a Macintosh game, circa 1987, called Daleks; Daleks was similar, except for the time travel part. Daleks seemed like it was inspired by the game Chase, in More Basic Computer Games, published by David H. Ahl in 1979. Time Twister is copyright ⓒ 2025 John Stracke, licensed under the GPLv3.
