    This whimsical game is part open world and part flight simulator - and you play it as a fly! You are provided with a bucket list that you can complete before you die. But the life of a fly is short - and the list is long!

    Go ahead and learn an instrument, become rich, read a book, go on tour, find yourself, get drunk, make someone laugh or enter the art world! And if you don't feel like pursuing your life goals, just hang, clean your wings, listen to music or watch television.

    Make the best of the time you have! Because we are all going to die.

    Time Flies may be on the short side, but it's quirky and funny list of things to do and surprising amount of attention to immersion transforms a quick jaunt into an impactful life lesson. Life's too short to worry about the small stuff, be a fly for a couple of hours.

    Time Flies is a humorous, existentialist philosophical exercise that has us flying like flies, trying to make the most of our short lives. Each time, we have just over a minute to explore the areas, find points of interaction, and decipher simple and creative tasks, until we manage to complete them all in a single, ephemeral race against the clock. It's a game I wish would last longer, reflecting the bittersweet truth of each person's journey: it may be good, but it's also brief.

    A short, surreal roguelike puzzler that proves a video game doesn’t have to be 60 hours long or feature photorealistic graphics to be entertaining and thought-provoking.

    This might look like some proper indie nonsense but this is a whimsical puzzler about a fly trying to complete a bucket list before it dies and, oddly, it's really enjoyable.

    The game will probably only last you a couple of hours or so, but that time is filled with lots of fun moments and amusing gags. It's not something that'll stand up to many replays, but it's an entertaining curiosity while it lasts.
