Time Stop Demo
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
I have been minimally working on this for a little over a week. It was inspired by superhot and other similar games, but the mechanics and their uses are references to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Use WASD for movement, Q to stop time, E to throw projectiles, and T to quit to menu. All input is single thread, so be gentle. you can recollect thrown projectiles by walking over them.
The player has 2 stats, an energy bar at the bottom of the screen and a projectile indicator next to the player. The player only has 3 projectiles, which return to them when they are out of view. When you stop time, throw a projectile, or are hit by the enemy projectiles, you lose energy. You use up more energy the more you move in stopped time. The player passively regenerates energy when time is not frozen, and the enemy projectiles don't hurt you when time is frozen.
When the player throws a projectile, the enemy has a high chance to turn orange, in this state they cannot take damage. This state naturally deactivates with time. The chance of going defensive diminishes as their health lowers. This does not happen in stopped time, as the enemy cannot react to events that occur within the stopped time.
You can change the difficulty on the title screen, and there are 3 levels of difficulty. Difficulty changes aspects like the enemies bullet speed, player regeneration, player's afflicted damage, player's received damage, starting health, and other things I probably forgot.
MUSIC IS BY AMAL RAJ Everything else was made by me solely for this game.
