Time Flies Arrives on PS5 July 31 – PlayStation.Blog

Hey there! So, uh, I’m Michael Frei. I’ve been hitting my head against the wall creating this crazy game called Time Flies. Can you believe it? You’ll be a fly. Yep, buzzing around on PS5 come July 31st. Maybe you caught a sneak peek on the PlayStation Blog ages ago? If not, no worries, it’s about to land.

Right, before you get all excited playing as a fly, we’ll check where you’re tuning in from. Why? No idea, just seemed important?

Oh, there’s this pic, with a splash of colors — lovely, right?

Okay, so here’s the deal. If you’re chilling in Switzerland, WHO says you’ll likely hit 83.3 years. We squish that into 83.3 seconds for the game (you’re a fly, remember). But if you’re in the States, you’re goin’ for 76.4 seconds instead. Life’s unfair, eh?

Random side note — taking off as a fly? Weirdly exhilarating.

Basically, some play spots are easier, some harder. Roll with it.

Images galore, check this out.

Let’s chat bucket lists. What do you do before you, uh… croak? It’s overwhelming. Lucky for you, the game’s got a list. Just tick those off before your tiny fly heart stops. Sounds thrilling, right? Yeah, you might fail. Many times. But that’s life — even for a fly.

Designing this was wild. I love the “Find God” task. No spoilers here, though. You’re on your own divine quest (or whatever).

Some quirky fly-pad doodles too, in case you wondered.

First off, why not play a game within a game? Real inception stuff here. Fly to heaven, maybe? Nah, complications arose.

Sneak peek of a platformer mockup? Check.

Turns out, you can only hit one button ’cause, well, you’re a fly! It’s all flying, landing, bumping into stuff. Forget fancy button mashing.

Oh, another screenshot! Aren’t you lucky?

Finally, simplified it. Just a directional pad and one trigger to start. You don’t have to touch the sky to find the divine. Just glance both ways, pick a path. Left, right, who knows.

If it’s too easy, maybe a secret game’s in there somewhere? Who knows. Yeah, flying inception within flying inception. Mind blown?

Anyway, get ready. Time Flies on PS5, July 31st. Have a blast! 🖤
