Whirlight: No Time To Trip is a wonderful time-travel adventure filled with stunning production values and loads of puzzles that you’ll gladly get lost in for days.

This crazy time-travel adventure is a great variation on the Back to the Future movies. You'll love the two main characters. You'll struggle at times, laugh a lot, and you'll definitely not get bored.

With its substantial length, clever humor, and a few challenging puzzles, Whirlight: No Time to Trip is a pleasant surprise for fans of the genre.

Whirlight - No Time To Trip offers a delightful experience for old-school fans of the genre, but it’s also true that players who expect absolute logic in puzzles or are used to getting help whenever they get stuck may find it quite challenging.

Point-and-Clicks are a niche genre, and it shouldn't be a surprise that this game is easy to recommend to those who already know they love it. If you don't? It's still worth checking out, but be prepared for tough puzzles that require backtracking, some confusion, and good old-fashioned trial and error. Does that get frustrating? Yeah, sometimes it does. But the whole thing is wrapped up in such an appealing package that you probably won't mind.

Whirlight: No Time to Trip is point-and-click that oozes passion and charm in its world, characters, narrative and gameplay. Its main issue is that it falls for the biggest and most common trapping of its genre: the ingenuity of its interactions come at the cost of some solutions being less intuitive than would be ideal. The result is a game that can be just as frustrating as it is whimsical.

It’s hard to fault Whirlight: No Time to Trip for being what it sets out to be. Don’t let the tone fool you. Whirlight: No Time to Trip is a hardcore homage to point-and-click puzzle adventure games. Delightful visuals, a quirky story, fun characters, and an appealing sense of irony and humor help ease the pain of some frustrating, unintuitive puzzles. Skippable puzzles or at least an optional hint system would go a long way. Figety, impatient, or puzzle-adverse gamers might be put off and miss the charm Whirlight: No Time to Trip has to offer.
