Time Flies

Time Flies is a 2025 video game developed by Playables and published by Panic. It is a puzzle and adventure video game in which players must complete a bucket list of activities in the lifespan of a housefly against a time limit for each level. The time limit length in seconds is adjusted by players' self-selected countries of origin, correlating to the years of the average human lifetime in that country. The game was developed by Swiss designer and animator Michael Frei and programmer Raphaël Munoz, who expressed interest in creating a game based on interesting bucket lists. Upon release, the game received positive reviews, with critics praising its themes of life and death as impactful and humorous, and enjoyed its visual design and gameplay objectives, although several critiqued its short length.
