Time Flies
Simple in concept, flawless in execution. The amount of interactions @playables.net squeeze out of one (1) mechanic game design genius.
That itโs also a meditation on the fleetingness of life, featuring comedy as well as social critique is just enough to make your jaw drop.

Such a simple game, but brilliant in its presentation and execution. As a mayfly you have seconds to live before you die and try to complete a bucket list. Great to play alongside a partner especially to see how much mayhem you can cause. The Untitled Goose Game of 2025! @timeflies.buzz
I waited for some downtime to play Time Flies (timeflies.buzz) and I'm glad I did. It's a quietly amazing thingโcharming, clever, tender, and funny, and that's all before the final act hits you unexpectedly in the gut. A game that makes me want to make games, and my favorite in a long time.

I drew way too many fonts for the game Time Flies. Guess how many! Eleven! 11 different fonts. One for the title (I made this one for a Playdate project originally), also in a bold variant.Then one for normal text (we used this the most) with a fat variant. After that, a font for small text and one for even smaller text. All these also include ะะธัะธะปะปะธัะฐ (Cyrillic). So these are, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 type-faces. 7 more to go: Number 7 is a font used for text in a book that the fly could reveal by walking over. Number 8 is the variant before it is revealed: This one you can't really read, dorry. Number 8 is not really readable by design.
Font faces nine, ten and eleven we have not used in the final game. I created them for ideas during prototyping that we eventually abandonded. ;-( Number nine was for small dynamic text in a newspaper lying on the floor. Number ten is called Teacher.It was designed for collectable life-affirming quotes we eventually replaced with puzzle pieces. And number eleven, called Student, is a second version of number ten that looks less neat. That's it! Eleven fucking typefaces made over the course of 5 years.

lovely game, great way to spend a couple of hours
Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.
A total of 632 flies lived a short life at Tokyo Game Show 2025 over 4 day period. The pile of dead flies grew a little bigger with each day, as more and more people came to play and ultimately die as a fly.
Many flies died at Tokyo Game Show last week.
Thanks for all the help and support. ๐ค

Time Flies may be a few hours long, but it leaves you with this sense of quiet grandeur that showcases how the medium of video games continues to evolve and elevate. - @veerenderjubbal.bsky.social

you might not think a black and white game about a fly would be very good.
but you'd be wrong.
