Time Survivor

peak, so incredibly peak

Phenomenal game! This is definitely one of those games where it isn't easy to see how great it is before playing it yourself. In-depth gameplay, tight movement and challenging boss-fights makes this into something special. Looking forward to the full release!

I cannot for the life of me get even close to beating time keeper two. It one shots me, and I run out of time too quickly so I end up rushing it. Closest I got was 55976 hp left.

idek how to start, I'm just at a timer with 2 blue things that don't do anything when I click on them and circles on the side, what do I do

i got everything except for the last few econamy upgrades and i cant for the love of god beat ts

i cant even do time keeper 1

pretty difficult, but it's possible to lock the bosses into an infinite combo where you dash through them over and over and they cant dash at you

time keeper 1 seems to move kinda unfairly?

like I hit him and he instantly turns around and one shots me

what am i supposed to do there

cool game but no pause button makes me sad

Great game 👍

Cool! I like how the gameplay change a bit with much more dash.

I sometimes had to farm and the progress was slow at one moment because I was not interested in the magnet upgrade... but it's actually necessary to buy them.

The boss are thoughs, the first one more than the second, but I manage to do it!

Exactly 100 trial count at the end.

How do i fix the thing where you dont have to use ur cursor to dash.. LOWK ANNOYING

VERY STUPID BATTLE WITH BOSS, just lucky but not skill battle, so STUPID

Had my interest until I survived my first minute. Then I saw the boss fight and immediately knew I was going to hate it. Spent an hour or so getting all the upgrades and just can't seem to kill the boss so... Was a solid 4/5 when I started but now I doubt I'll ever take a second look.

Idk if you can mark spoilers on itchio but there be spoilers here

You may already know this, but the knockback the 2nd boss applies to you when entering their 2nd phase can push you out of the boundaries of the game and get you stuck

Some eaten inputs when it comes to dashing, could give better signposting as to hidden upgrades (Get boss to half health to unlock x - for example), Grind did feel quite monotonous at times but only for a certain few upgrades and once they were got it eased up (they still need looking at)

Feel like everything could be shifted around slightly to flow a little better but not a terrible game

Very cool game. I can tell you crunched some numbers in order to balance the progression and difficulty. Left me on a tiny grind in order to buy the 9k upgrades but I never felt the game is unfair.

Some technical feedback: I got to fight the second boss pretty early, before buying any major green upgrades for second phase and for a long time I was left with forced game over whenever boss reached half of his life - it wasn't clear what should I upgrade in order to be able to kill the boss, or if I needed to upgrade anything at all.

Also, I encountered few random lags on a desktop version + sometimes I think I saw the upgrade screen popup for a split second couple of times, when I clicked and dragged mouse in the area of the top bar. The game is probably trying to drag the update screen - you might want to disable it during the time arena, or put it in a different scene if you haven't done it already.

the green upgrade tree feels like a punishment, either grind for ever or play a insanely difficult luck based boss, adding a feature to turn off some of the green upgrades would be great. cant say i enjoyed this game not fun hard, unfair hard

another shitty no effort node buster clone. christ i hate whenever some shit tier game becomes popular and all the asshats just start hammering out copy/pasted palete swaps of that shit since its so effortless to make in the first place.

There's a bug when you first enter the upgrade screen where you have to click twice to buy an upgrade because the button won't highlight/register the click. This is on the downloaded version.

My only problem is with the dash mehanic.

hey how do you get past minute one? I don't seem to have enough energy to last untill then(that or it runs out too fast)

Mid-minute 2 causing extreme (almost computer crashing) lag on web

I'm not really sure what's going on, but maybe add a performance mode in the settings that disables the fancy graphical effects? (like the shininess around upgraded enemy drops, the stars in the upgrade background, and possibly some of the animations)

I really like how the game looks, but its almost unplayable with this lag 😭

Can you make space to dash an option please?

Wow very nice gamee :)

I complete it and I like it so much, congratulations for this game!!

Are there supposed to be new upgrades after the first boss? It doesn't seem to be possible to make progress.
Also, the purple triangle drops don't disappear after picking them up.

Very cool game!

I volunteer to translate this game from english to russian, please reply if interested

Cool game, though dashes immediately ending if you graze a wall (including with movement keys while dashing away from it) got very frustrating and caused me quite a few deaths. Maybe consider having dashes either bounce off or slide along walls rather than immediately ending? The sudden lack of invincibility is very jarring when you get used to the dash duration. I also agree with arijun that it may be worth cheating a little in the player's favour with regards to the boss fight hitboxes; perhaps allowing a few frames before actually killing the player?

Awesome game! Works well on linux with wine/proton.

can't see enemy health. i saw someone else comment about it and you reply "surprised"

nah. nice try. enemy health doesn't show.

also, oftentimes i have a full dash bar and can't dash. i have to click multiple times. this occurs at the START of levels. particularly the boss level. i'm wondering if it's because the dash isn't really charged at the start and has to charge up but the UI shows it as full because it was full as of the last level END

Why is there no display for enemy health? I recall in a previous version that the enemies became more "hollow" the more damage they took. And I'm pretty sure the same thing was happening to the player. Why did this get removed?

i reboot my pc and now it looks like a previous version or something i cant even change quality on settings... any idea to fix it? (cant even copy to clipboard the save game)

the steam version will be on the final quarter of 2025

i think you should remove the downloadable version because i have the windows user's curse

I would say this game is a 4/5, quite good for what it is.

The main pain point is the bossfight, although there are some mechanical issues throughout the game. I'll try to describe them since it seems no one else is (despite the developer asking).

General gameplay issues:

1. It is very hard to tell when your boost is done charging, as well as how close it is to being done. The first issue can be solved by adding a halo or some other indicator when the boost is ready. But for the second, you might want to add a secondary bar in the side panel that repeats or replaces the boost charge gauge.
2. Sometimes it can be hard to tell where your boost will put you. A ghost where you'd end up could solve this issue
3. The upgrades seem pretty uneven in how useful they are, but maybe that's to be expected

Boss issues

1. The boss is likely[1] too much of a difficulty jump, leaving a long-ish time where everything before the boss is easy but everything after hard
2. Because the boss is so hard, it becomes almost pointless to continue into it until you're maxed out on upgrades. You won't beat the boss and you'll likely collect very few resources before you die.
3. The boss's tail. I like that if feels tron-like, although the new mechanic came a little out of left field for a boss that's otherwise a bigger version of the other bad guys. However, frequently what will happen is I will try to boost behind the boss to stun, only to realize I was a milisecond too late, and the tail has popped into existance and insta-killed me. I would suggest either delaying when the tail becomes deadly, reduce the hurtbox on it, or have it so the stun also destroys an unconnected tail.
4. The hit/hurtboxes in general should probably be reduced. If I boost near the boss in a safe spot and then he swivels and the tip of his nose touches one of my corners, that's insta-death. This is one of those times you should probably cheat for your player to make the game feel better.
5. You might consider making infinitely repurchaseable upgrades after all the other upgrades are purchased, to keep the feeling of progression during the final stage, instead of it feeling like just slamming your head against the wall over and over. Alternatively, if other changes make the bossfight more managable, perhaps make a final upgrade that lets you skip the upgrade page (since it's now pointless--no more upgrades available)

Possible improvements

1. The two most fun parts of the game are the collection/upgrade loop, and boosting through enemies. The former falls off later in the game as collecting becomes more of a slog and there are fewer killer upgrades left. To make the later part of the game better you might consider adding extra boost gauges as an upgrade, so people can have more fun blasting through their enemies. It might require a bit of a difficulty rebalance, though
2. As a webgame, this game has the perfect amount of content, but if it's going on steam where people pay for it, it will probably need more bosses, enemies, and upgrades. I might suggest an enemy that has some version of the boss's tron tail, to get players used to that mechanic
3. Also, the name is not great.

I made an account to post this feedback, so I hope it's helpful.

[1] Different games target different difficulty curves so it's hard for me to say for sure what a difficulty curve "should" be. Some players want animal crossing and some want dark souls. However, a sharp spike in difficulty is a sign to me of game needing better balance.

This is really a great game. Looking forward to the release.

Bopin game, addictive af 9/10 <3

Awesome game.  Love the upgrade system.  Feels fair and balanced, up until the boss fight.  Boss is brutally hard, even after the last upgrade (the boss mechanics are counter-intuitive, but eventually you get used to it).  Did manage to beat it eventually after getting all the upgrades.

i could play this 10 hours straight no cap
