How does your game fit the theme?
The game switches between a calm situation where you have to strategicaly take aim and shoot your shots and after that the game became fast paced and you have to run to the end and if you didn't kill some enemies they will put you in hard situations.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Cool idea. Player physics while jumping is a bit wonky tho.
But this is really an interesting idea.

Very interesting idea! I like how you used the theme, splitting slowed time and normal time. It was a little difficult to master the controls, but once i got it, it became really fun! Also the graphics were super cool. Love the color palette and atmosphere. Great job!

This was a really cool game idea! I like the super hot inspiration, and the graphics are really nice too!

I will say that the movement controls were a bit frustrating for me. I think it could be cool if the player is still able to move while time is slowed. As it stands, the controls felt a little bit unresponsive.

Great work!

What an exceptional game! The creativity, fun factor, and attention to detail make it a standout. Well done! ;D

Great and strong concept, like super hot but in a 2D side scroll I love it ahah.

To be honest it's too hard for my brain to figure how to get through the end of the game, I stuck at the map where 2 enemies are rushing towards you really close to each other. But I retried a lot of time and the concept feels great, the lore around it can be greatly extended to make a Tron like story, that's really really well done !

Your both really talented knowing that you made everything by yourselves, congrats !

Cool concept for a game :)

2D superhot. Had fun, though the platforming was challenging since you couldn't stop your horizontal movement midair.

Nice interpretation of the theme and the main mechanic "clicked" in a couple moments. Graphics are pretty sweet, too!

Bonus points for multiple endings.

I wish the normal-speed platforming was a little more forgiving. Pretty difficult to control.

I love te idea of the game and basically everything else about it. The only problem i had was that it was really hard because there were no checkpoints. I also noticed that i got stuck on people i already shot (In the death animation). But i dont know if that is intended or not.

Really required a lot of strategy and thinking, really good game and suit the theme
