Blinx: The Time Sweeper is a 2002 platform game developed by Artoon in partnership with Microsoft Game Studios Japan and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox. Advertised as "The World's First 4-D Action Game", the game focuses on the titular character, an anthropomorphic cat called Blinx, who is 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 slow, speed up, record, reverse, and stop time. Blinx was positioned by the gaming press as a mascot character for Microsoft to use to compete against Nintendo's Mario, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sony's Crash Bandicoot, though the character was never used as such officially by Microsoft. The game received mixed reviews. A sequel, Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, was released in 2004.
