Overall cool game. Really liked that you always needed to position yourself to the left of your enemies.  A little note, I got better scores if I didn't charge the arrow. More arrows were better than strong arrows in my case.

Pretty fun! I loved zooming around and shooting, but my lord those enemies are big and fast, scared the crap out of me the first time lol. Having the different enemy types is nice as well, it shakes things up nicely. However I wasn't sure how shooting the right side of enemies came into play, wasn't sure if anything was happening or not. I think with a couple tweaks and some polish it would be awesome! great job!

I loved the flow of the gameplay! With more time you can polish the visuals and adjust the size of the character and the enemies. 

Congratulations for the fun game!

This is an interesting concept. A few notes:

- The player and enemies are too large. The game feels cramped as a result and the player's control feels limited.

- Which direction is the "right" direction to shoot the enemies from? Maybe add some indicator that shows the player which angle they should be shooting from.

- You could have included your instructions at the start of the game and made sure that everyone that plays knows how to play! People generally skip any extra instructions found in the menu, so if they're important, put them in the game!

Overall, a very good game and a great twist on the theme. Please check out our game if you haven't yet. We really appreciate it!

Is the game available for macOS ?

Developer

Sadly no. Sorry about that.

Really nice game. I like how the arrow works and the idea of speeding up or slowing down the time was great as well. I think you should try to add the distance where the enemies can't go. So if they are too close to you then you can get them not going that close :) And the graphic and music were nice as well.

Thank you for the feedback!

Nice idea. Maybe a little bit bigger screen would be nice. Not much time now to get ready for the enemies. As Darkforge317 also said the tutorial should be a bit more indepth about the shooting for the time rewind etc.

Thank you for the feedback!

Definitely a cute little game!


Things I Liked:

  • Cute art style and music
  • Simple point and click shooting
  • There's a variety of enemies with different behaviors, which makes things more interesting!

Things I Didn't Like:

  • Crows swoop in way too fast to react
  • There's not enough instructions on how the game works. It mentions shooting enemies from the "Right angle" to gain time and "Wrong angle" to lose time. But it doesn't explain what the angle is. Do we always have to be on the left side of an enemy to gain time? (Like in the image) or does every enemy have a specific angle to hit them from. How do I find that angle? I feel like there should've been better explanations.

Interesting mechanic, I don't think I've seen another one where you have to kill enemies to get more time. The killing from a specific position was a little weird, it seemed hard to know where to be to get the time to go back up. good game overall though

Developer

Thank you!

pretty nice mechanic. The rewind mechanic got implemented really good, i had much fun to play it and test the game!

Developer

Thank you!

The game looks super cute, and it’s cool that you have different enemy types that actually function differently. I’d say the crows come in a tiny bit too fast, you have to preempt them sometimes, but it’s a fun top down shooter. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I think I went a bit overboard with the crows...

Hi, I liked your game, besides fitting nicely the theming I like the spin you took on top-down shooters, your positioning matters a lot in this game.

Developer

Thank you!
