«I’d rather the full game give the feeling of being “a little too short” than “a little too long”. I hope that when I face death, the same is true of life.»

9️⃣Time Flies 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

Patrick's games were the most magical things on the internet I had ever seen back in the day – and they still are. They inspired me to make interactive things on the internet – and they still do. Reading these words from him really means a lot to me!

I waited for some downtime to play Time Flies (timeflies.buzz) and I'm glad I did. It's a quietly amazing thing—charming, 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.

6-year-old: I want to play that kids game with the people again. Me: ...with people? What were they doing? 6-year-old: You... click the little white people to complete things! Me: ...complete things? That's lots of games... 6-year-old: NO!! THEY JUMP IN HOLES! Me: Ohhhh, you want the game KIDS!

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.

Last night, my GF and I played through @panic.com's Time Flies for our date night and we loved it! I'm not much of a gamer, but this experience got me excited. The details, puzzles, music, and humor throughout the game are just so well done. Give it a go if you're looking for a fun puzzle game.

New on PictoTV: Michael Frei, creator of the freshly released game “Time Flies” (recommended!), talks us through his main protagonist’s character origin story — and how one annoyingly dead pixel ruined his plans for peaceful lockdown entertainment. 📺 tv.pictoplasma.com

This is a very tight, smart and novel dialog-less story about flies that let's you set the difficulty level based on the life expectancy of your country. I had a blast in the few hours it took me to roll credits. They 100% nail the game feel of being a fly, it's very neat.
