Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Time Flies”. Time Flies is a little adventure about our limited time in this world.
Few games tap into the fleeting fragility of existence quite like Time Flies, a minimalist adventure where you experience the world through the ephemeral perspective of a common housefly. Light touches of black-and-white, hand-drawn artistry set the stage for an unexpectedly profound reflection on life’s brevity: a single lifetime unfolds in mere seconds, yet in that time, a charming “bucket list” invites you to pursue joy in miniature—learning instruments, reading, becoming rich (by fly standards), and even finding delight in simple, mundane moments. Innovative physics and a playfully interactive environment transform the ordinary into an exploration of meaning and mortality, making each moment of buzzing, dodging, and dreaming feel precious and delightfully absurd. Crafted by the minds behind KIDS and Plug & Play, Time Flies is both a poignant meditation and a wry homage to the games that made us ponder, laugh, and live a little fuller.
