ABOUT AND TIME
About And Time
And Time is an independent collection of games about time and everyday life. Three games are available now, all playable in your browser.
Three games, three different rhythms
Close, release, connect. Each game begins with a simple action and invites you to experience time a little differently.
- Ads and Time — Find the ×. Close the next ad.
- Sezoku and Time — Tap the circles. Let the words go.
- Numbers and Time — Connect tiles. Make the target number.
Sezoku evokes everyday life and its worldly attachments. Each game has its own website, instructions, and privacy information.
How the three games work
Things accumulate on the screen in each game. Close, release, or connect them to make space. Here are the controls and rules to know before you start.
Ads and Time
A survival game about finding the close buttons on fictional ads. The run ends at 100% ad pressure. Each flight lasts 30 seconds, across 100 flights.
- Tap or click the × on an ad. Some close buttons are small; others appear after a delay.
- Hold Clear all to store one charge. Release, then press again to use it. You cannot close ads while charging.
- On a keyboard, move your aim with the arrow keys or WASD, close with Enter or Space, and pause with Escape.
All in-game ads are fictional. Pressing an ad body never opens an external site. An action that is not a valid close increases in-game ad pressure. Real ads and purchases are currently unavailable.
Sezoku and Time
Release words about everyday life as they appear. Each passage lasts 30 seconds, across 100 passages. You can look back at the number of words released and the time spent playing.
- Tap or click the circle on a word to release it. Consecutive actions build a streak.
- Hold the large circle at the bottom to gather a breath. Release, then press again to let several words go together.
- Use Tab to choose a control and Enter or Space to activate it. Escape pauses the game. You can finish when you choose or start again.
The small demo on the home page only lets you try releasing words. It runs separately from the full game and its records. Sound and motion settings are available in the game.
Numbers and Time
Combine number and operator tiles into an equation that reaches the target. A correct equation clears the tiles you used. More tiles arrive while you think.
- Check the target number, then choose number and operator tiles in order to form an equation.
- For a target of 10, one possible combination is 3 + 2 + 5. The home page demo lets you try this addition step by step.
- Choose a short equation to clear tiles quickly, or a longer one to clear more. The game site’s “How to play” page explains the full controls and calculation rules.
The demo uses fixed practice values. In the full game, choose an equation from the tiles and target currently on your board.
Records and settings
Each game handles its own records and settings. Read its privacy information for public records, local storage, and deletion options. Analytics across the four sites is optional; declining it does not prevent you from playing.
The creator
And Time is created and operated by Yuuki Ishiyama (石山祐己). These small games explore feelings that can slip past us in everyday life.

FOR PARTNERS
Make something together
Get in touch to discuss:
- A new browser game or a collaborative project
- Using an existing game or adapting it for your needs
- Using or licensing the shared foundation behind the three games
A reusable foundation for making games is being developed alongside these three works. Using it, licensing it, or building something together can be discussed individually.
Availability, scope, and terms are discussed for each project. Tell us what you would like to make or use, the context, and any timing you have in mind. An early idea is enough to start a conversation.
