I need the name of a 2D platformer PC video game which was probably released between 2000-2010.

The main characters are a teenage boy and a girl which I am sure of.

It's an action/adventure themed game that has some time travel elements in it like portals and such, the target audience would be kids/teenagers (zero nudity and less violence)

The game's look is a bit similar to Ubisoft's Rayman and has animation that's similar to the cartoon Ben 10.

The game is an international release and i'm thinking it might be an offline PC game. Me and my brother used to play this in a normal computer at an internet cafe 10-12 years back.

It's not in the lists given in comments but thanks for sharing. The game I played isn't entirely time portal related, it has some creatures as villains (probably aliens). It's an adventure platform PC game but with good graphics like Rayman. It's definitely before the year 2008 that and definitely not a 8 or 16-bit game of which I am sure of.

  • Hi there! That's some info already, but while I can't name one right away, "2D platformer with portals" seems a bit broad. Please take a look at this guide on story-identification, as well as this one on videogames, see if they trigger any more memories you could edit in. Anything making it more "unique" could be of help :)

  • Another thing that might help narrow it down a bit: Were the time travel/portals an actual element of gameplay (you manipulate time like the game Braid to solve puzzles or portals like Portal) or more style and backstory (the portals and time travel were the excuse to go to various different levels, e.g., you might start in a future level and at the end cross a portal and are in a pirate level)

  • No manipulation, the portals were just to go to different places in the same level. I played like 50% of the game and haven't observed any bonus levels. Most of the backgrounds were similar to forest themes. No cities as far as I remember.

    Installed, we used to open this by clicking the shortcut icon on the desktop right beside spider Man 2 pc game icon. I'm not sure if this game used internet while playing.

Could it be "Bud Redhead: The Time Chase"?

One day Bud and Rachel were walking in a park when suddenly some strange green-furred creature jumped out of a bright flash of light. The creature grabbed Rachel and ran into the light which then disappeared.

Bud is desperate! Only YOU can help him to rescue Rachel!

Take a journey with Bud through space and time in pursuit of Feyatta, a well known green-furred intergalactic abductor. Your quest will lead you to 4 different places in space-time continuum: from the forest more than 8000 years ago, over Ancient Egypt and Medieval Castles, to a Space Ship orbiting Saturn a couple of million years in the future!

Screenshot from the game showing the playable character hanging from a rope. The game background shows a dessert with pyramids.
