Time Traps is all about quantity instead of quality, where the abundance of the hidden object scenes want to hide their horribly outdated nature and mechanics, plus the lack of actual storytelling.

Time Trap is the living example that at least one Eastern European developer is still doing the same low-grade cash-in hidden object games in 2017 that flooded the market around late 2009. It pretty much hits every item on the old checklist:

• The graphics are low resolution even for ancient smartphones, and everything is so pixelated that you may think your monitor is malfunctioning.
  
• The same few dozen items occupy every of the 27 scenes, often hidden in monochrome, pixelated masses that make your eyes hurt.
  
• There is no actual story, just a few random text screens, where the lines often spill over their boxes.

The only positive thing I can think of is the large number of hidden object scenes and how the game tries to add replay value with a score system. However, those are not enough to recommend it even to veteran HOG players.

Smartphone game ported to pc. It's a joke when you need to scroll the picture with your mouse.
It should be clearly written it's a ported version.

Well, honestly, I should have paid a lot less. Only 2 hours to complete. I paid $1.79. The art is nice and unusual, which is why I got it, but the story isn't really much, and the hidden object games, as everyone has already said, are looking for the same objects repeatedly. It was kinda disappointing. A waste of potential since the art was interesting. I would say, if you find it in a bundle or for less than I paid, sure, why not. Otherwise, no. Save your money. I've gotten hidden object games for under $1 that were far more interesting and fun. (Wish you could say "maybe'... Instead gonna say nah.)

I bought it in sale. Items with low contrast to find in blurred backgrounds isn't fun. Especially if you have to scroll up and down to get them. You're getting points, plus and MINUS! What's that for? I don't like it, although I'm asked multiple times for a LIKE.

The whole game feels very.... meh. The art looks to be largely photos photoshopped together with low contrast and poor graphic quality, and the story is fairly nonexistent. There are no real puzzles, or characters, or really anything very interesting in this game.

Didn't like it. Timed hidden-object puzzles. If you didn't find all the objects in a given amount of time, you were forced to do it all again. Well, I just don't see the point in something like this, except for people who enjoy torturing themselves.

While it's nice that you can zoom in to search for objects, progress is locked behind how many stars you earn and it appears to be comparing your stats against other players. Good if you feel the need to be competitive, but I prefer to play for myself and not how I compare to others for each stage. I further don't recommend it because it seems shallow and lacks story development compared to other hidden object games.

Not Recommended

Boring. Had to look for the same objects in every screen. After looking for the umpteenth moth it got old.
Funny that the game gives you the option to zoom in, and then they throw a tiny wee puzzle at you,
and you guessed it, no zooming here when once it's needed.

If you enjoy finding hidden objects then this one is for you, but that's all there is to this game. It's bare bones programming with hardy a story line to break up the monotony of HO. Art work is mediocre. Not worth it unless you're desperate for an HO fix, but there's a lot better on Steam to enjoy.
