> Warning: This game will bring you a challenge and will take time to master.
Because of this I've made an open level selection so you can start at any point in the story, however I recommend starting from the ... start. ;)

> I suggest you don't skip the dialogs the first time you play. They explain how the game works.

> Be on lookout for buttons, they're attached to walls and open gates! Some of them are timed though and they only last for two seconds, so use your brain!

> Enemies react to both sound and sight. You can sneak past them by holding SHIFT.

> OS/X: As usual the game might not run on OS/X. I can't test it since I have no Mac, but feel free to leave a comment with an error message and I'll see if I can fix it.

Eiradirian Timejumpers is a game about a fictional war between two fictional fronts and an imperfect time machine. You play Konrad Knox, Leader of the Eiradirian PG Circle and your goal is to bring chaos to the ILL Agency.
With the new time travelling device the mysterious weapon smuggler and businessman "The Romanian" got you, you are going on a mission to destroy one of ILLA's main bases.

The controls are mostly explained IG as you progress, and so are the game mechanics. However, for completeness sake, here's a short summary:

W/A/S/D: Move (Arrow Keys work too but are not recommended)
H (in Level Selection): Toggle Hardcore Mode
C (in Level Selection): Show Credits
SPACE: Create SyncPoint
SHIFT: Sneak
LEFT CLICK: Primary Attack
RIGHT CLICK: Melee Attack
ENTER or MIDDLE CLICK: Next Dialog Message
SHIFT + ENTER: Skip Dialog
E + aiming at target: Trigger button / Set bomb duration
1, 2, 3: Switch Weapon

Use the mouse to aim.

Thanks to Konrad Knox for this beautiful fanart:

Nice!
I got stuck when creating a checkpoint in front of the guards and then it was all pew pew pew and I couldn't do anything but restart.

A nicely done entry but could have done with adding in music.

A really interesting concept with actually adding in previous playthroughs of yourself, awesome!

Took a little while to get a hang of but pretty fun!

I watched blay09 code this as I also use Java + libgdx and it was fun to watch. Very good game and challenging difficulty while still beatable with practice.

Hope you get high votes!

This game is very nice! I really like the idea. I found the game to be very hard, but it did have some interesting puzzles. I liked the audio and the graphics very much.

Roflmao, The "ILL". I played for a while, but I'm really bad at it, so I didn't get massively far. Did you put me in it? :P . And if so, what level? xD

@Alex Rose: I only gave the three main characters a name to prevent people from getting butthurt. I'll make sure to give you a siderole in my next game of the Eiradirian branch ;P

Really interesting concept, though I think the execution left it really hard to figure out a good strategy. I wasn't able to beat any of the levels, as I kept seeing myselves, tripping alarms, etc. Still, very cool concept. I'd like to see something like this become a full game.

Too bad I couldn't actually play, since my keybord isn't WASD and even changing its layout wouldn't work. Looks very interesting and well made.

Nice game concept. At last too much "mines" to control..

It would have been fine a little of music. The FX are owncreated and are funny.

Keep on the line.
