   This game comes from a request by wizzard to try and find games from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It was also submitted to the igf for 2009.

   QuantumS is an excellent time travel based stealth puzzle game. You have the ability to travel back in time and use your past selves to solve puzzles. You can do things like have a past self stand on a switch to keep a door open to the next room or distract guards so you can sneak past.

   Website Description:
   Timmy is a boy who has run away from home, and his wandering takes him to a ship where the rules of time don't always hold. Now, in order to escape from a ship full of unfriendly guards, Timmy must solve puzzles using time as a tool. Utilize previous selves and the fourth dimension to escape the ship!

   Unfortunately the official website has a problem with the download.
   When I tried to download it, the download would reach 10MB and then it would just... die. lol. After trying a few times I eventually had to use a download manager to get it. So I uploaded it to mediafire, a free temporary file upload website, so you can download it without a download manager.

   Official Website (Do not download without a download manager):

   Download (45MB):

   Thanks reverseOrder!
   This sound like a game I will enjoy and I'm probably not the only one who thinks that coz the download speed from Mediafire dropped below 5kb/s earlier :-O

   Here's a little online timewaster for those waiting for the download to finish: Chronotron.
   It's a 2d browser game with a similar concept to QuantumS except there are no guards in Chronotron, unless my memory isn't uhm... uhm... ...what was I doing again?

   Regards,
   Lan *who's off to start a download manager* ;-)

   Yeah, it was as low as 3Kb/sec for me. I left my computer on overnight as I couldn't wait for it to download only to find it had timed out this morning. either loads of community members were downloading the game or something was wrong. I suspect the latter because the last few games I had to upload only had between 11 to 17 takers. I'll have to try again later.

   Out of curiosity I thought I'd try the university link and it downloaded at a rate of ~500Kb/sec 'without' a download manager, lol. I've had the same problem you described above with some different files from a ftp agent. Maybe there was a fault when you tried to download it. It could also have been the traffic at the time you downloaded it. It's going to be after midnight on the West coast and arount 3am on the East coast now, so there's proably little traffic from their ftp.

   Again, thanks for the heads up on this. The screenshot I saw made the game look very professional. :)

   regards

   Wow, that was unexpected. After checking the file on the "My files" page that I have, it says there were 80! downloads. The actual number may be less due to people being cut off and having to redownload. Still, I guess the massive amount of people downloading it was causing it to be slow.

   Also, the ftp link doesn't seem to work.

   Thanks, rO, I downloaded it from the original page directly after I read your post - it was a fast download with no hassle. The hassle began as the guard caught my shadows, and I was trapped too - I thought, the shadow should save me? I'll try it again after I have solved the next puzzle in the Serpent of Isis (there are some more games waiting for being continued, only 1 or 3 or 46 or 159...)
   Happy gaming!
