Snapback

Snapback is the ultimate speedrunning puzzle platformer. It takes place in a dystopian world ruled by an authoritarian regime. You are a robotic citizen presented with the opportunity to fight against the oppressive system. A mysterious hacker gives you missions to rebel against the regime you live under. Each level presents a different challenge. Gameplay features a unique ability that allows you to traverse levels with careful teleports, only to be pulled back to that location after a set period. Every second counts. Speed is the puzzle.
