Very interesting idea, so fun to play (actually can't stop playing) and actually very hard game. It's interesting that it is actually harder to play in the role of many villans than as one hero.

Developer(+1)

Of course its harder. Why do you think the bad guys always lose hahaha.

Submitted(+1)

Excellent execution! I'm impressed by how many good puzzles you were able to make in the amount of time of the jam.

I had a blast. 10/10

Submitted(+1)

Oh! That's a very cool idea for a puzzle game!

It really has the Super Hot feeling to it.

Good job! =)

Hey I saw you where also at ROOK RULES! Your game is exactly the kinda thing I would force my friends to play and then waste many nights playing with them. Super cool!

Submitted(+1)

Yes, that's where I saw your game too! Liked it at first sight ^^

Man, you're the worst kind of friend, you know?... (same tho °^° )

One of my favorite submissions so far! While the concept is as simple as "you are the enemy", superhot mechanics bring into this more than some other action games would. I really like the idea of controlling a bunch of henchmen trying to defeat overpowered player. It was a bit rough and unpolished controlling units sometimes, and like half of levels can be cheesed, but at no point I was forcing myself to play it through, I was really interested in trying to solve the situation.


If you want to develop it after jam, I'd suggest MAYBE changing controls to sort of point-and-click like in RTS, cause moving a lot of units at the same time is not possible otherwise, and moving them one by one was a bit tedious (like in Door Kickers 2 maybe, I haven't played it but by the gameplay it seems appropriate). Oh, and maybe showing in real time how fight went :) (I understand that you probably didn't do it cause jam constraints)


Also I think you could do without scrolling levels, it was a bit confusing. Personally I'd prefer a zoom out, or moving camera with WASD.


To conclude, good idea and implementation is decent, rough around the edges, but still very enjoyable to play.

Also, what's the deal with bullet juggling by sword? I did it in the corridor by aiming for like a second and in later levels that it would be deflected instantly, without time to adjust aim.

Developer

This is all great feedback! I am not planning to develop this after the jam but I did have some ideas that kinda got lost in the time constraint.

I wanted to be able to give orders to agents so that multiple could move at once and some mechanic that allowed you to move time with a button instead of having to do something. Something like rimworld. But I thought that it would be too complex to implement in such a short time. There is also an almost finished mechanic where you could hold other agents and chuck them as a distraction but I couldn't think of puzzles for that.

I wanted to have a real time replay but that got lost in not being able to finish it on time.

Cheesing it is maybe not intended but good that it exists. You solved the puzzle, I wont punish you for not doing it "my way".

Also idk what you meant with your other comment about the katana. I coded it to go towards the mouse the same way when a gun fires after it makes contact with an active katana.

Pretty much 5/5 on all measures, well done and congrats!

Cool concept, really interesting 

Submitted(+1)

Pretty clever concept! Unfortunately, most certainly due to my lack of familiarity with the original Superhot, the puzzles became difficult to the point of impossible for me to complete since the hero felt so overpowered against the henchmen. Nonetheless, great execution and best of luck in the jam!

Developer(+1)

IDK if you still feel like playing but here are some tips:

Time only moves when you walk so you can move the mouse and aim for as long as you like to make a plan.

The hero won't dodge shots in the back because... he cant see those lol.

You can shoot the hero to buy yourself time. Even if it doesn't kill him he will still dodge and recover for a bit.

Throwables can be still picked up after they are thrown. Just pick them up before they hit you in the head.

Hero cannot catch guns so you can throw through him.

Katanas deflect bullets, yours and the heros towards where your mouse points. If you are close enough to the hero it will kill him before he recovers from his shot.

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING ANYWAYS!!!

> The hero won't dodge shots in the back because... he cant see those lol.

AHHH I wish I figured that out sooner!! Okay, that makes everything way easier haha. I was always trying to get straight shots on him and he just dodged every single time. Lesson learned. Thanks for the advice!!

Submitted

Cold and savage! That was really fun to play!!

Submitted

This is absolutely amazing! Extremely fun gameplay! Although I'm curious what you made this on, very fast download and extraction time, thanks in advance if you get back!

Developer

I made this in GameMaker Studio 2. The big file size of most of the submissions and games in general is because of the uncompressed audio files so the speed isn't really a GMS2 thing.

Submitted(+1)

really cool idea and properly executed, we had the same inspiration! lol

Submitted(+1)

Very well done.

Submitted(+1)

The most innovative shooter in years!
No, seriously really amazing idea and well executed and juicy. Well done

This one is Super Cool. Good concept, well polished and challenging but not impossible Puzzles

Developer

I WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THAT JOKE!!! Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Haha, you are welcome! I gotta admit, my first instinct was to just type 'SUPER COLD' in all caps over and over again. But i figured that some nice feedback and a terrible pun would be more appreciated :P

Submitted(+2)

A very solid entry, well polished, pulling off some some big brain moves felt really satisfying.

Submitted(+1)

I really like your take on the theme. the superhot mechanics are well implemented too. The visuals are simple, but aesthetically pleasing.

Solid entry.

(+2)

The puzzles are so slick and the way it uses the game's mechanics is awesome. Now I know what it's like to fight superhot players.

Submitted(+1)

Very well executed, there's a surprising amount of depth in these puzzles! Great job!

This is awesome! Really tough but brilliant
