Crash Bandicoot - Back In Time
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
In an effort to gain a better understanding on how to create 3D platformers in Unity, we set out on an adventure to produce this love letter to Crash Bandicoot.
The love letter was well received. We have been blown away by the positive feedback and reception, we would like to thank you all very much for having fun with it!
It is our intention to continue development (if uninterrupted) until v1.0 at which point we will consider the game complete, and we will have done everything we are aiming to do with the project.
We often post about progress and chat about the game in The Warp Room Discord server (a home for all things Crash related!) where many users also share custom levels that you can play: https://discord.gg/n3ev7g3RnE
Ncludes:
- 10 Traditional Levels
- 10 Flashback Tape Levels
- 5 Trials of Uka-Uka
- Crash Creator (Mario Maker for Crash Bandicoot)

This is literally the coolest thing in existence!
I have but one question...
Are their any plans for adding elements and enemies to Crash Creator? or if at all possible... possibly make it so people can add their own elements & platforms?
forreal tho, as it stands... it is a beautiful call to simpler times, and a childhood dream fulfilled for so many!
i 100%'d the game. ask me anything (about the game dumbass)
ZAAAAAAAMMMN..
i documented all the uka uka trials so you know what they're about without playing them because you're a lazy bastard
trial I - unlocked in memory lane. this trial is about double jumping through various pits while hitting time stoppers.
trial II - unlocked in snow way back. this trial is about carefully avoiding nitro crates.
trial III - unlocked in stream lining. this trial is about finding the nitro switch crate within to unlock the exit.
trial IV - unlocked in silver lining. this trial is about carefully jumping through the massive gate of crates to get the uka uka and double jump to the exit. you can't break too many crates on the way in or you'll have none on the way out. break all the aku aku crates to get rid of the nitro and so that they don't get rid of your uka uka.
trial V - unlocked in castle mania. not much here. doesn't even need uka uka to be beaten.
yes i know these trials from experience, here's proof of my experience
trial V can be beaten with no uka uka, revealing what happens when doing that
instead of a free platinum, you get "disqualified", netting you no time and no relics.
ZAMN.
this is gaming. graphics dont matter
I would love time trials for the normal levels.. starting to fancy myself a speedrunner
How do I save?
how i can pause
I don't know if saves are supposed to work but save window freezes the game for me for whatever reason.
this is a very fun game i recommend using an xbox controller for a good experience (if it makes things better your way)
13Things I would like to see in the next update
1 crash 3 power ups
2 more Uka Uka trails they are SOOOO fun
3 n tranced power ups
4 more bosses and bosses in the story mode
5 add time trails
6 the quantum masks would be an amazing addition to the game
7 secret levels in the story mode like crash 2’s secrets warps
8 water levels
9 vehicle segments/levels
10 Fix the Wumpa counter so it doesn’t say 01,02,03,04 and etc make it say 1,2,3,4 and etc
11 make add Uka Uka crates in the main levels
12 add harder levels
13 Make it so once you’ve 100% the game if you find fake crash you can spin and become him
14 Pink underpants
the best fangame ive ever played
ONLY THEN IMPROVE THIS GAME HOW YOU DO IT I AM JUST GIVING AN EXAMPLE TO IMPROVE THE GAME AND I AM ALSO TELLING WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN VERSION 0.96V
PLEASE DO EVERYTHING THAT IS IN CRASH BANDICOOT N SANE TRIOLOGY THAT IS 3D CREATION, I.E. FOUR-SIDED IN 0.96V I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE COOL CREATION OF EVERYTHING THAT IS THERE, SUCH AS NST CREATOR
Do you think you could port this to retro handhelds (64bit linux) and make it available via Portmaster? Pls!!!!!
This is super impressive!
I just randomly found this thanks to PCGW and decided to give it a shot. I love it so much. Definitely gonna add it to my watchlist and see what's next for this project.
Hello, I really want this to be in the next update of the game, I would like you to put it so I can change the keys like a, s, w, d and to swim shift turn ctrl crawl, crouch and belly, for me, these types of controls are bad for me, so I wanted you to add a function that could change the controls
Pystyisikö saamaan version ladattavaksi missä tnt ja nitro laatikoissa ovat alkuperäiset räjähdysäänet?
Onko mahdollista lisätä TNT laatikoihin välkkyminen tai ainakin alkuperäinen räjähdys ääni? Nitro laatikoihin myös alkuperäinen räjähdys ääni
cool 20/10
hi

how I do this? Do I have to press keys?
Once you’ve made a selection, click and hold for half a second to lift the tiles off the grid, then click and hold again after dragging to finalize their position.
THIS is how you make a good fangame involving crash bandicoot made out of love.
It's wonderful, I love it. I'm only stuck on how to properly save, it always just starts at new game for me, no continue. Been lookin' all over and can't find the save option. It's likely me, as are most "HOW DO I X" in reviews.
EDIT: Thank you wonderful people in the Discord server!
UNBEARABLE! This is the best fan game I ever played! Thank you from bottom of my heart! It is one of the best things whats happened to me in this year. My life will not be same anymore! LOVE <3<3<3<3
Jeszcze jak by się dało to plis zróbcie nieskańczalne miejsce do tworzenia poziomów i Platformy o takie typu REDGEMPLATFORM
GREENGEMPLATFORM
BLUEGEMPLATFORM
YELLOWGEMPLATFORM
ORANGEGEMPLATFORM
O TAKIE
better than retro hijinx is all i can say cuz i didn't play this game yet
man, this game is just so much fun to make levels on. i'm still hyping on some Crash Creator ideas: Cortex, N. Brio, N. Tropy, N. Gin, Pinstripe Potoroo and Dingodile as enemies, Polar, background trigger blocks, the Crash-looking fish from 3, and hopefully The Quantum Masks as well
Took the time to 100% it and do some custom levels and did not regret it.
Has a few quirks, but they actually make it out to be a unique while familiar crash experience. Even going as far as to teach you some of the unique tech that resulted from this games slight differences in the extra challenges.
This is an amazing little game with endless possibilities due to the custom level editor.
What an amazing game. I play it on my Steam Deck and it runs amazingly good with Proton Experimental. Superb job!
this fan game is pretty awesome
Black screen on android version
WOAH
I've downloaded it, what do I do now?
Extract it to a folder, and open it and run the exe that says "Crash Bandicoot - Back in Time".
I eventually found out, but thanks anyway!
