'''''Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space''''' (released in Japan as '''''Blinx 2: Battle of Time and Space''''') is a [[Platform game|platform video game]] developed by [[Artoon]] and published by [[Xbox Game Studios|Microsoft Game Studios]] for the [[Xbox (console)|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.

== Gameplay ==
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.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |title=Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space (Game manual) |publisher=[[Microsoft Game Studios]] |year=2004 |language=en}}</ref> When shooting debris, the player can now lock onto enemies, a feature planned for the original game.<ref name=":0" /> 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.<ref name=":3" /> The story mode can be played in both single-player and in co-operative, with a second player able to join the game.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" />

Despite being the game titled after the character of Blinx, he is not playable in this game, being only present during cutscenes.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6">{{cite web |last=Ferris |first=Duke |date=December 8, 2004 |title=Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space Review |url=http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/blinx-2-masters-of-time-and-space |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912183834/http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/blinx-2-masters-of-time-and-space |archive-date=September 12, 2015 |publisher=[[Game Revolution]] |accessdate=August 10, 2015}}</ref> He is instead replaced with two teams of four customisable characters, with a team for the Time Sweepers and a team for the Tom Toms. The player can customise these characters at any time in the hub world for the respective team, with an in-depth set of sliders to scale various different aspects of the character, and various outfits, accessories, emblems, styles and colours to choose from.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Xbox.com {{!}} Blinx® 2: Masters of Time & Space - Game Detail Page |url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/blinx2/default.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070704131530/http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/blinx2/default.htm |archive-date=2007-07-04 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Xbox.com}}</ref> The player can use these characters in both the story mode and versus mode.<ref name=":2" /> Versus mode, a new addition to the game, pits the Tom Toms against the Time Sweepers, with up to four players able to join. The time and space controls from the main game are carried over but serve different functions here, such as the rewind control now turning the targeted character into an "infant state", making them smaller and weaker.<ref name=":3" /> The last team standing wins the match.

== Plot ==
The player can choose to play as either members of the Time Sweepers (anthropomorphic cat) or the Tom Toms (pig) on their mission to prevent a threat which will result in a global catastrophe by finding the eight fragments of the all-powerful Big Crystal. Some Tom Tom pigs accidentally destroy the legendary Big Crystal upon discovering it. As a result, the Time Sweepers and the Tom Toms then fight past many time glitch monsters and with each other. Upon completing levels when playing as the Time Sweepers, a short cinematic plays of the mysterious Time Angel, who wants her crystal repaired. At the end of the game, the player's Time Sweepers join with a team which must go to a mysterious part of an alternate universe to defeat the Scissor Demon, a mission from which they cannot return. The team is easily defeated by the demon until a squad of Tom Toms, including the player's custom Tom Toms, arrive. The Tom Toms' leader gives the player's Time Sweeper the other half of the big crystal which enables the player to hurt the Demon. Once the Scissor Demon is defeated, it dissolves. The screen then fades to white, at which point the Angel thanks the Time Sweepers and the Tom-Toms for their efforts.

== Development ==
''Blinx: The Time Sweeper'' was released in 2002 for the Xbox. Microsoft had aimed to create a game that appealed to Japanese gamers and even potentially create a [[mascot]] for Japan out of titular character Blinx, but they found the game receiving only mixed-to-positive reviews, with it not selling as well as they had hoped in Japan. Despite this, the game sold over 600,000 copies worldwide as of 2004, causing Microsoft to green light a sequel in hopes of releasing a significantly improved product that would make much more of an impact.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Bando |first=Atsushi |title=『ブリンクス２：バトル・オブ・タイム＆スペース』開発者インタビュー 前編 ("Blinx 2: Battle of Time & Space" Developer Interview Part 1) |url=http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/interview/creator-interview-06_1.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050829115749/http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/interview/creator-interview-06_1.htm |archive-date=2005-08-29 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Xbox.jp |language=Japanese}}</ref> Takuya Matsumoto was brought on to co-direct with [[Naoto Ohshima]], director of the original game, due to his significant contributions as main programmer of ''Blinx'' and the increased scale of the sequel.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Ohshima |first=Naoto |date=2004-07-14 |title=Blinx 2: Developer Diary #1 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/07/14/blinx-2-developer-diary-1 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref>

Due to the increased workload of creating two individual stories with unique gameplay styles, the development team was split into two for ''Blinx 2'', with one half working on the Time Sweepers and the other half working on the Tom Toms. Directors Matsumoto and Ohshima aimed to create a game with many new features setting it apart from its predecessor; in an interview with Xbox Japan, Matsumoto joked that they had skipped from the second entry of the series to the third as a result of making so many changes.<ref name=":0" /> Oshima, in a developer diary for IGN, stated that the game was an answer to critics of the first game, with it doubling in scope from the original. Microsoft had compiled every review, user comment and piece of feedback on the original ''Blinx'', something the developers constantly referenced while developing the sequel.<ref name=":1" /> They increased the movement of the Time Sweepers by 1.6 times, and added lock-on when shooting with the vacuum, something planned for the original game but not completed in time for release.<ref name=":0" /> The developers also added customisable characters and multiplayer, two things that were not present in the original game.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Blinx 2: Battle of Time and Space - Now on Sale! |url=http://www.artoon.co.jp/blinx2/blinx2_top_japan.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080401121103/http://www.artoon.co.jp/blinx2/blinx2_top_japan.htm |archive-date=2008-04-01 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Artoon.jp}}</ref> The character of Blinx was redesigned to give him a more "grown-up" appearance,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Director |first=Keiichi Sugiyama, Audio |date=2004-10-09 |title=Blinx 2 Designer Diary #4 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/10/09/blinx-2-designer-diary-4 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref> with Blinx's signature sweeper being redesigned to look more like a guitar due to a conversation about guitars between art designer Masamichi Harada and art director Noriko Omizo;<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harada |first=Masamichi |date=2004-08-07 |title=Blinx 2 IGN Developer Diary #2 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/08/07/blinx-2-ign-developer-diary-2 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref> the game's overall art style was changed to accommodate this and as a response to complaints the original game's levels were bland in design.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space First Look |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blinx-2-masters-of-time-and-space-first-look/1100-6100789/ |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=GameSpot |language=en-US}}</ref>

Artoon found difficulty in balancing ''Blinx 2'' so that there was an even amount of attention given to the Tom Toms and the Time Sweepers, and moreso in balancing the two so that there was an even playing field for both sides during competitive multiplayer. The developers continued to test the game even after the bug-fixing stage, in order to help adjust this balance for the final game.<ref>{{Cite web |title=『ブリンクス２：バトル・オブ・タイム＆スペース』開発者インタビュー 後編 ("Blinx 2: Battle of Time & Space" Developer Interview Part 2) |url=http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/interview/creator-interview-06_2.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050922005755/http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/interview/creator-interview-06_2.htm |archive-date=2005-09-22 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Xbox.com}}</ref> The game was announced in June 2004, with a press announcement calling it "the world's first 5-D game", a play on the previous game's tagline, although this was dropped before release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=GALLANT |first=MATT |date=2004-06-17 |title=Blinx 2 PR Copywriters Bad at Science |url=https://gizmodo.com/blinx-2-pr-copywriters-bad-at-science-16407 |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Gizmodo |language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=GameSpy: Blinx 2 Announced - Page 1 |url=http://xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/blinx-2/523981p1.html |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=xbox.gamespy.com}}</ref> The game went gold on 4 November of that same year, and released in North America a week and a half later.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GameSpy: Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space Goes Gold - Page 1 |url=http://xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/blinx-2/563578p1.html |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=xbox.gamespy.com}}</ref>

Many reviewers complained that ''Blinx 2'' carried over issues from the first game. [[GameSpot|Gamespot's]] Alex Navarro stated that the game was much less restrictive and significantly deeper than its predecessor, praising the addition of competitive and co-operative multiplayer, but lamented that it still lacked "captivating" gameplay, or characters that the players could care about.<ref name=":7">{{cite web |last=Navarro |first=Alex |date=November 16, 2004 |title=Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space Review |url=http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/blinx-2-masters-of-time-and-space-review/1900-6113340/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210606122127/https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/blinx-2-masters-of-time-and-space-review/1900-6113340/ |archive-date=June 6, 2021 |website=[[GameSpot]] |accessdate=August 10, 2015}}</ref> [[The Sydney Morning Herald|Sydney Morning Herald's]] Jason Hill said that while the Time Sweeper sections were improved from the previous game, the ''Blinx'' series had failed to capitalise on its potential and the sequel was "another disappointment";<ref>{{cite news |last=Hill |first=Jason |date=January 13, 2005 |title=Riotous fun |newspaper=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/Games/Riotous-fun/2005/01/12/1105423546497.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924193853/http://www.smh.com.au/news/Games/Riotous-fun/2005/01/12/1105423546497.html |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |accessdate=August 10, 2015}}</ref> [[Eurogamer|Eurogamer's]] Ronan Jennings echoed a similar sentiment, stating that while the sequel had improved on the design and controls, the overall game was "just as underwhelming" as the first.<ref name=":8">{{cite web |last=Jennings |first=Ronan |date=December 20, 2004 |title=Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space |url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_blinx2_x |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924151235/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_blinx2_x |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |website=[[Eurogamer]] |accessdate=August 10, 2015}}</ref>

Reviewers noted that, despite the game being titled ''Blinx 2'' and being featured on the box art cover, Blinx himself was only featured on the cover art and in a few cutscenes; custom characters modified through the in-game character creator were playable instead.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /> Gamespot in its review called this the "weirdest thing" about the game.<ref name=":7" /> Other reviewers, however, saw this as a positive, with GameZone calling it a "nifty feature",<ref>{{cite web |last=Raymond |first=Justin |date=December 6, 2004 |title=Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space Review - Xbox |url=http://xbox.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r24353.htm |url-status=dead |publisher=GameZone |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080229080446/http://xbox.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r24353.htm |archivedate=February 29, 2008 |accessdate=August 10, 2015}}</ref> and Eurogamer noting it as "one of a few clever additions" to the game.<ref name=":8" />
