Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space (released in Japan as Blinx 2: Battle of Time and Space) is a 3D third-person platform game developed by Artoon and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was released for the Xbox in 2004, and is the sequel to Blinx: The Time Sweeper. Like the previous installment, it is also playable on an Xbox 360. As of 2015, Microsoft has abandoned the Blinx trademark, indicating that there will not be any more entries in the franchise.
In Blinx 2 the player controls either a Time Sweeper (anthropomorphic cat) or a Tom Tom (pig) on their mission to prevent the end of the world by finding the eight fragments of the all-powerful Big Crystal. Some Tom Tom pigs accidentally destroy the legendary Big Crystal upon discovering it. As a result, the Time Sweepers and the Tom-Toms then fight past many time glitch monsters and with each other. Upon completing levels when playing as the Time Sweepers, a short cinematic plays of the mysterious Time Angel, who wants her crystal repaired. At the end of the game, the player becomes included with a team which must go to a mysterious part of an alternate universe to defeat the Scissor Demon, a mission from which they cannot return. The team are easily defeated by the Dragon until a squad of Tom Toms arrive. The leader of the Tom-Toms will look the same as the one the player had customized while playing as the Tom Toms. He gives the player the other half of the big crystal which enabled the player to hurt the Demon. Once the Scissor Demon is defeated, it dissolves. The screen then fades to brightness, at which point the Angel thanks the Time Sweepers and the Tom-Toms for their efforts. What happens to the team afterwards is unknown.
The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one eight, one nine, and two eights for a total of 33 out of 40.
