But just when his creative streak seems to have run out, his most amazing idea ever knocks on his door. To finish his new invention, Hector will have to explore the suggestive Verice Bay. However, right on the verge of achieving his goal, more trouble arises: what was supposed to be the solution to all his problems turns out to be a leap into the unknown. Fortunately this leads him to meeting Margaret, a strong and determined artist and a perfect travelling companion. Together they will embark on a series of adventures through space and time, amidst bizarre characters and unlikely situations, until they foil an imminent threat that looms over the entire world.

Whirlight - No Time To Trip offers a delightful experience for old-school fans of the genre, but it’s also true that players who expect absolute logic in puzzles or are used to getting help whenever they get stuck may find it quite challenging.

Whirlight: No Time to Trip is a hardcore homage to point-and-click puzzle adventure games.

One of the strongest classic comedy adventures in recent years, full of charming characters, beautiful hand-drawn locations, strong voice acting, and cleverly designed puzzles. Its lack of a proper hint system can make some difficulty spikes frustrating, but for fans of thoughtful point-and-click adventures, this is an easy recommendation.

Whirlight is whirligig of nostalgia and colour coupled with a back-to-basics adventure game design.

Whirlight: No Time To Trip is a brilliant little adventure game that feels like a genuine love letter to classic point-and-click titles without relying purely on nostalgia to carry it. The puzzles are clever, the writing is funny, the characters are genuinely lovable, and the presentation is fantastic from start to finish. More importantly, it’s just consistently enjoyable to play. Even when I got stuck on a puzzle, I still wanted to keep exploring the world and spending time with the characters. ImaginaryLab has clearly put a huge amount of care into this game, and it shows in every part of the experience. From the detailed environments to the sharp dialogue and inventive puzzle design, everything feels crafted with real passion. If you’re a fan of classic adventure games, this is an easy recommendation. And honestly, even if you’re normally not into point-and-click titles, Whirlight might still surprise you. It’s funny, charming, weird in all the right ways, and most importantly, it remembers that games are supposed to be fun. I give Whirlight: No Time To Trip the Thumb Culture Platinum Award!

Whirlight, while a competent point-and-click, offers little beyond nostalgia for players already devoted to the genre.

This crazy time-travel adventure is a great variation on the Back to the Future movies. You'll love the two main characters. You'll struggle at times, laugh a lot, and you'll definitely not get bored.

Whirlight - No Time To Trip seems like something out of a game from another era. It retains the oddity, the difficulty, the ingenuity, the unpredictability that made point-and-click experiences fun in the past, without trying to make them more current. That's a kind of commitment that's both admirable and quite contentious.
