Does this game have timelimits?

Are any puzzle or levels in this game timed?
Like "you have 60 seconds to complete this" timed.

Isn't it just the optional bonus levels that have time limits? I don't remember any timed levels in the story mode.

most levels dont have time limits. the only ones i can think of are the bonus levels. there may be one or two other ones.

But don't most levels have levers or switches that only stay activated for a short time, during which time you must do precise moves and use certain powers to grab pies?

Isn't most of the game one short time contest after another?

Thats exactly how I would describe the game, constantly battling against timed switches.

It kinda ruined it for me, really enjoyed the idea, but Not a big fan of constantly running back and for doing the same think trying to get their a splitsecond quicker

I generally don't like being forced to play games quickly, and this game suited me perfectly.

Simple answer: no.
No levels have time limits - you can take as long as you like on any level. The bonus (challenge) levels have time targets if you are chasing achievements, but these can be ignored if you want to just solve the puzzles.

It is true that within many levels there are "windows of opportunity" during which certain actions must be done, but you always get another chance without having to restart the level.

Keep in mind that this is a puzzle game, not a fast-paced platformer. It is a matter of setting things up to solve the puzzles in such a way that you don't need to do anything quickly. These solutions, while rarely obvious, never require split-second timing.
