Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space (released in Japan as Blinx 2: Battle of Time and Space) is a platform video game developed by Artoon and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox. Released in 2004 it is the sequel to Blinx: The Time Sweeper and was the second and final installment of the series. Like the previous installment it is playable on an Xbox 360 using backwards compatibility. In Blinx 2 the player switches between playing as the Time Sweepers and the Tom Toms. Much of the core gameplay is retained from the first game for the Time Sweepers with each Time Sweeper equipped with a vacuum that can collect debris time crystals and gold crystals. When shooting debris the player can now lock onto enemies a feature planned for the original game. The player no longer needs to collect the crystals in any order to receive a time control but rather just collect three of a particular crystal. Some of these controls can also be combined allowing the player to use certain effects with each other such as speeding themselves up with the fast forward while slowing the world down at the same time. Each Time Sweeper level has multiple missions that the player can choose to do although only one needs to be completed in order to progress. Meanwhile the Tom Toms control much like a stealth game with the player aiming to avoid Time Sweepers to collect loot at a location and then return it to their initial location without being caught. In this mode the player has several gadgets at their arsenal to control space distract the Time Sweepers and to assist with their passage through the level such as decoys and wormholes. They also have guns which can be used to take out Time Sweepers at risk of attracting attention to themselves. If the player is caught as a Tom Tom they must hide as the Time Sweepers will otherwise quickly defeat them. The story mode can be played in both single-player and in co-operative with a second player able to join the game.
