Double Take is a game i bought as a child because of the cool cover. Unfortunately the gameplay is very confusing, the manual not helpful and the game itself not very good. But the music is awesome.

So i never understood the game and was able to beat it, until i took it out again in 2018 and finally understood what needs to be done. Once understood, it is quite easy.

In some of the screens are items, that needs to be placed in a specific room and in the correct universe. Some other rooms are just to increase the level size and do not matter. See a full list of the items and rooms on our webpage.

Each of the already found items has a status showing in the radar like screen on the right bottom. The status of the item carried by the professor is additionally shown by the three lights on the left.

The first light shows the universe, green is ok and red shows the wrong one. You can use the cloud to switch to the other universe.

The second light shows the room, if its red you need to find the right room. Keep in mind that each room is always connected to another one in the other universe. Both rooms count as ok.

The third light shows a combination of universe and timeline. None of the items has ever the third light set to red. It only changes if the time runs out. Avoid this at all costs, because you would have to wait for the next timeout to change the state back. Easiest way to do this, is to drop the item on the spot as soons as the time starts to run out.

With that information in mind, you have to place every item in the correct room and universe. Pick up the items and use the cloud to change the universe. For the right room check the information on our website. FInally place the item in the exact (pixelperfect) spot were it belongs. YOu can find the poition also on our website.

If all items are placed, the red radar shows all dots in a nice friendly green. Than you need to hurry up and find the end boss Sumink, who can be everywhere. Beat him (very difficult) and win the game.
