Blinx: The Time Sweeper is a platform game developed by Artoon and published by Microsoft Game Studios exclusively for the Xbox. Advertised as "The World's First 4D Action Game", Blinx: The Time Sweeper focuses on the titular character, an anthropomorphic cat called Blinx, who's on a mission to prevent the end of World B1Q64 and rescue its princess from the evil Tom-Tom Gang. Blinx is outfitted with the TS-1000 Vacuum Cleaner, with which he can exert control over time itself through five unique "Time Controls": slowing time down, speeding time up, recording a moment in time, reversing time, and stopping time entirely. A sequel, Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, was released in 2004.
