It is a crime that the perspective doesn't showcase the truly PEAK character design y'all cooked up for the main character. Easy 10/10 just for that.
Thank you! The artist was proud of it and glad to hear this!
I see... the game is super cool :)
In all seriousness, it is pretty cool. The twist on the "time stops when you stop" idea is really smart and well made. It didn't happen a lot to me, but enemies being able to kill each other is a nice addition. I liked it a lot, cheers!
Thanks! The enemies can kill each other, because first we weren't sure if the player should have a gun too, and the dying functionality was made pretty modular. And so the enemies killing each other happened by accident, but was fun!
This is absolutely the best game I've played from the jam so far. Every aspect of the visual experience is top notch quality. If you told me you'd been working on this for months for a full release I'd believe you - totally breaking my expectation of what can be done for a jam, and you'll definitely be inspiring me down the road. Thank you for making this great project!
Thank you so much for your kind words! This comment will inspire us in return!
I enjoyed how to get through the stages you have to learn the routes and optimize the safe spots and patterns. It had a nice puzzly feeling to it, and the stages were short enough that you could retry several times without getting burned out.
As an aside, I really like the animation for the controls on the game's page. Easy to read, pleasant to look at, and adds flair to the experience!
Hey, thank you so much! I was in charge of the level geometry, and my aim was specifically to make the levels slightly challenging but short so restarting wouldn't be too annoying. I'm glad to hear I was successful.
Amazing! It's a very cool time freeze mechanic that is easy to understand but can be very challenging to master. It leads you those moments where you go straight to a bullet and then think "wait a minute, I'm gonna kill myself if I continue", and then you stop and get killed because you stopped and that bullet was going in your direction to begin with.
I really loved it! A little sad that there is only two levels, and I had to turn off the sound at one point because the music started to get annoying. But apart from that, it's a really solid entry.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked our game. I would've loved to make more levels too, but you know how it is with studies and other stuff, some things just get the priority.
This is such a great mechanic! The collisions are a bit off, but overall amazing!
I really enjoyed the intro animation! The time-stop mechanic is fun and made for some dramatic split-second decisions. Nice work!
A cool riff on Superhot executed really well in a topdown style, love those Tom Cruise swinging arms on the character sprite, really sells it. The presentation has a cohesive feel and I particularly liked the opening animation. Nice work!
It’s like hotline miami meets super(hot)cool. Very cool idea and execution. The stamina bar was a bit hard to see at first but once you get used to it it is fine.
It took me a minute to figure out how to use the time freeze ability (skill issue) but once I got it down I had a blast! Would be interesting to see this mechanic with various levels and hazards. Well done!
Loved the beginning animation! The music stands out as well! Tough little game I had to play a few times to progress in haha
I love how the characters arms swing. Great idea having time move when you stop. Also good job on the opening cutscene!
Pretty cool! The "time moves when you stop" mechanic is really creative, like an inverse "Super Hot", and the top down view fits the gameplay nicely.
The only thing I can think of is that sometimes the character gets stuck on the scenery, perhaps this happens because the sprite clips a little bit inside the walls when he changes direction. Also it could have been cool to see more levels and mechanics, like enemies or objects that do the opposite, they only move when you stop, maybe an attack for the player, etc... there are many ideas to explore that would be awesome.
But overall this was a pretty cool short game, and the time freeze was great! Congrats!
Thanks! We planned different enemies, but unfortunately ran out of time. The colliders can be little tricky and ended up being even more buggy in the WebGL version, as locking frame rate didn't seem to work. The way we implemented pixel perfection might also cause some issues, as it isn't the most robust. But glad to hear you enjoyed!
Great entry really like the reverse-Superhot mechanic, artwork is well done along with the music, fun and challenging.
Wow, it's probably my favorite game from the jam so far, great idea with the reverse-Superhot mechanic.
very nice! and fun! great ambient on the boat. The mechanics works really well, the gameplay is fun and challenging. rated!
Very very good and found it very innovative. The top down pixel art is really charming, though the enemies' sprites were a bit confusing to understand at first. The time stop mechanic with the stamina made the gameplay loop challenging, but very fun!
As another commenter mentioned, I liked the fact that you could approach the levels more puzzle like (sprinting to a location and resting at a safe spot) or more action like, doing quick movements to stop time and dodge the bullets.
The intro cutscene was very cool and the graphics were charming, great job this is a game to be proud of!!
Excellent game, I found the beginning very inventive.
The only thing I missed was some initial levels to introduce the mechanics and rhythm of the game.
Wow, when the theme was announced my first idea was "Maybe a spin on SUPERHOT, where time only moves when you don't?"
I decided to go with another idea, but I'm so glad to see someone had the same idea and went with it!
The game is great fun. First I approached it more like a puzzle game, trying to find safe spots to regain my stamina completely.
Then I switched to a more action oriented approach, doing short and fast movements to dodge the bullets.
Both fun ways to play.
And the polish! The graphics and music, the intro sequence alone. Chefs kiss, great game!
Haha nice to hear you had the same idea! And glad you enjoyed! :)
