Time Recoil Released!
We're happy to release Time Recoil - a top-down shooter where you kill to slow time!
We started prototyping different concepts on top of Neon Chrome in Sep 2016 or so. During this time we went through a handful of different versions before we ended up with the "kill to slow time" mechanic which then became Time Recoil.
Today we have a game that offers an unique take on the top-down shooter genre. The game draws inspiration from SUPERHOT and Hotline Miami but ends up in a different place still. If you like those games, you'll probably like Time Recoil as well.
The story mode offers on average 3-4 hours of gameplay at normal difficulty level and even more if you play on hardcore. After you conquer the lower difficulty levels you're allowed to replay on murderous which is a lot more challenging.
After that you can delve into the Mission Archive and make your own record time and see how you fare on the online leaderboards. We've seen some unbelievable solutions which result in some astonishingly low level times. Can't wait to see what solutions people come up with in Time Attack mode :)
Thanks for your attention - we hope you enjoy Time Recoil!
