In Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Blinx can hold up to three time controls at the beginning. Some shops sell a time holder, allowing Blinx to hold an extra time control. If all the time holders are purchased, Blinx can hold up to ten time controls. The retry has a special holder called a retry holder. Blinx can hold up to three retries at the beginning of the first game. If all the retry holders are purchased, Blinx can hold nine retries (possibly from the myth that cats have nine lives).
