I don't think the leaderboard works...
If there was music it could speed up and slow down, which would really make it feel more like time is changing I think. Just a thought!

supernovadx 2015-04-21 01:10

Cool, I like the idea. Some sort of background music would have helped.

w1n5t0n 2015-04-21 01:13

The game feels like SUPERHOT but it play very differently. Good job!

hburd 2015-04-21 01:45

That was cool, I felt like Neo sometimes. But yeah, missing art and sound. Overall pretty good.

scornz 2015-04-21 18:29

The Wzzard, it seems I by accidentally uploaded an old build without the sound effects, I will fix that

hotboxgames 2015-04-21 20:24

Leaderboards don't seem to work and enemies don't seem to always detect collisions, but aside from that nice job!

jalgames 2015-04-21 20:25

Nice game! The graphics are still a bit place-holder-like, but the game-play is quite fun (I played this game for longer than most of the other games). I am reminded of Mirror's Edge a bit...

Windows link not working.

scornz 2015-04-22 01:11

Fixed it

It's a cool concept. The models aren't the best, but that's understandable in a jam.

uheartbeast 2015-04-22 01:17

Really great game actually. It is very hard but still fun.

scornz 2015-04-22 01:21

Thanks!

tikilittle 2015-04-22 01:29

Cool concept. I had trouble with the controls. You might have a settings page to allow players to switch to keyboard controls.

defectivemelon 2015-04-22 01:53

Really fun and addictive. To whoever got ~70 on the leader boards, I salute you.

cosinep 2015-04-22 01:55

The leaderboard is a nice feature ;)
In part because of the leaderboard and in part because of the Freaking Infuriatingly Amazing Addictiveness and Fun of this game, I unfortunately wasted many hours on it. It was so satisfying to fly through enemy after enemy and then dodge a bullet matrix-style.

shugor 2015-04-22 02:05

This is a pretty interesting challenge of a game. I had a bit of trouble with the camera because I was stuck with a laptop trackpad, but otherwise I think I could have gotten a lot farther; the balance between needing to speed up and slow down time is really nicely made. I think it's also great that you included the leaderboard, as it adds some replayability and a sense of competitiveness. Great work~

scornz 2015-04-22 10:16

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!

slowfrog 2015-04-22 20:19

The idea sounded interesting but the gamed proved too difficult and impossible to master. I could not score a single point and died many times without visible cause (shot in the back, probably).

lukbebalduke 2015-04-22 20:24

Nice game! It makes me remember SUPER HOT =)

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-04-22 21:07

Wow super fun!! the only problem was the graphics. the gameplay was super addicting. i couldnt get on the leaderboars. grrr. the only other thing is sometimes the enemies shoot when you're right next to them and you can't dodge and it feels a little unfair. also i wish i could jump over the bullets. overall great game!

f-wiktora 2015-04-23 00:33

Sound!! :(
Anyway, great concept! Keep it up! :)

dallonf 2015-04-23 00:37

This was rather fun! Reminiscent of Superhot, but definitely unique. Felt very rewarding once I got the hang of it. Well, I say I got the hang of it; my high score was 2. :P

It desperately needs a retry option on the Game Over screen. I didn't want to go through the leaderboard and title screen every time I died (which was really often)

nihilaleph 2015-04-23 01:50

Great game! I liked the concept, but it's a bit hard for me, specially because I can't invert the y axis xp But great job!

littlephil 2015-04-23 21:17

The concept is good but it's a bit too hard. You don't know when the enemies are going to shoot and it often looks like you die for nothing. The way the enemies explode is super satisfying though !

chrisgaudino 2015-04-24 01:37

Loved it. Extremely fun. My only gripe was I wished I could directly restart after dying rather than click through the leaderboard every time, but that's really nitpicking.

hambone88 2015-04-24 02:44

Awesome concept, I loved the leader board !

davikin92 2015-04-25 01:27

Good idea. It's really frustrating to be shot and not knowing from where it came. Aside from the music, you could use other resources to clear out that time has been slowed down or accelerated, maybe changing the visuals. It would be cool if the bullets were a little slower so I get time to slow down and dodge them.

darkavenger211 2015-04-25 01:38

Very hard to tell when when the blocks are about to fire because they are blocks.

dcrfj15 2015-04-25 02:21

Great concept, this is a fun game. It was really cool to be able to manipulate time, and to use time as a weapon. My highest score was 7.

This was a hard game though, it would be cool to see more walls around the map, so that the player would be able to hide more from the enemies. Maybe instead of long corridors where the player is super vulnerable there could be more open areas where the player would have the ability to move around freely, and dodge the enemies easier without falling off the map.

Great job though :D

scornz 2015-04-25 12:05

Thanks for all the feedback!

glitchg 2015-04-25 22:32

Has a cool idea, but the game is too simple and the graphics too...
Anyway, keep up with it!

questionablequality 2015-04-25 22:32

I liked the idea of crashing into enemies with your super speed, but I found it really hard to react to enemies if they are totally silent. Maybe giving the player more health will allow them to fight back when someone shoots you in the back.

novodantis 2015-04-28 00:33

Tough game, but I like the concept. Pulling off a bullet dodge is satisfying.

java-the-hutt 2015-04-28 01:34

It was fun to see the enemies explode. I wish dodging enemy shots was easier, or that I had multiple hits.

kinosawada 2015-04-28 01:52

Very fun game

bossmojoman 2015-04-28 03:14

Nice Concept, though I couldnt kill any of the rectangles.

tyruspeace 2015-04-30 05:24

Some sort of hint that enemies are about to shoot would make a huge difference here! As was, I had a hard time predicting when my impending doom was coming.

lochmann-apps 2015-05-10 09:16

Nice one, but for a beginner it is hard to get, where you are attacked, just change the level design a bit, so it is clear that the enemy got you. Also a restart button would be nice. But a really cool entry!
