Pad of Time turns your controller into a time machine! Embark on an exciting journey through time with “Pad of Time”, a 2.5D retro-style platformer with a twist. Explore the past, present, and future from each level and face tough bosses along the way. With unique playable characters, you can try new ways to play and find hidden treasures.
Meet the three brothers Mark, July, and Art, who use the Pad of Time to mess up the timeline and find hidden treasures. Choose your character wisely:

- Mark: The geek brother who created the Pad of Time. His abilities are balanced and recommended for beginners on platformers. - July: The smart and skilled sister who is always wearing roller skates and goes fast. If you’re an experienced gamer, this is your character. - Art: The oldest brother who owns a museum. This character is the slowest but jumps really high. If you’ve already beaten a level, Art will be useful to replay it and find hidden stuff.

- Time manipulation: Use the Pad of Time to change time periods, opening up new paths and solving puzzles. - Boss battles: Test your skills against powerful bosses as you progress through the game. - Hidden treasures: Explore every nook and cranny to discover hidden treasures and unlock special rewards.
