Using the arrow keys you must guide a robot throughout several levels. the key mechanic is to roll onto switches that open doors or materialize platforms, but the doors and platforms block your progress again once you move off of the switch. what's a player to do? in this case hit [spacebar] to jump back in time to the start of the level, allowing your "current" robot to wait patiently while your "past" robot once again heads over to the switch to open up the door and let you through. have i blown your mind? there's more: you must accomplish this before you run out of energy, while simultaneously collecting little gold gears for extra points. had enough? good, because that's about it. the game itself is fairly straightforward, but the levels obviously get more and more difficult as you progress. you're allowed only a certain number of "time jumps" each level but usually end up using them all, sometimes overlapping your robotic instances so much that your brain threatens to explode from the combined effort of temporal distortion.
