Zeit²

In this game, time bending mechanics profoundly change the dynamics of a classic scrolling shooter. The challenges are designed so a tatical use of time travelling is tied to a very deep score system. This is the most underrated shooter of all times. This game is a perfect exemple of how indie games can be REALLY cool. It has really nice graphics, it's crazy optmized and has an incredibly novelty factor. The time traveling mechanics may not seem new, but they are used in such a way I'v never seen before or since. I played this game for the first time in a hostel in San Francisco in 2009, when I went to represent a game I worked on (called City Rain) as one of the games nominated for the Independent Games Festival Student Showcase Award. Zeit² was another game nominated and the devs were staying at the same hostel than I and they showed it to me at the leisure area underneath the dorm rooms. And I have to say that it was simply mind blowing. I never forget this game. I always think about it when I think of SHMUPS and this is the game who made me want to make a SHMUP one day. In the end of the day, the game who was contemplated with the awards was a half life mod that endeup bein…

Just a plain shoot all-o-them spaceship thingies emitting halo thingie with bullets thingie and literally nothing outta box to add into it. Like K, if our dereanged spaceship gets its energy drained everytime you miss a shot and a uncommon time travel feature that creates a black blop like thing that shoots all you shot before you pressed time travel button on keyboard. Other than that, its just , bad guys coming from right side of the screen, you dealing with them and going crazy, sprinkling them bullets Aall over the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screen. Sorry but princess is in another castle ! K game but not expecting somethin like this from ubisoft . Yup, its by the same company, that brought us farcry and tom clancy and assassins creed.

This is a great little puzzle shmup, with lots of smart nuances and unusual mechanisms that belie the soothing, understated graphics. Playing in the past and the future on top of the present is pleasingly mind-bending. A must-have for people looking for unusual games and outside the box play. Usually drops significantly during sales. Also, the store page is years out of date and the game has no DRM besides Steam.

Positive: * Fun for some quick rounds. * Interesting time travel mechanic. * Good for beginners. * Many game modes. Negative: * Not that much variety in enemies and stage graphics. * Technical issues: Had to turn g-sync off for this game specifically in nvidia control panel, otherwise the monitor loses signal when starting the game. Never seen this before with any game or application. I like it and I am glad I bought it.

i shoot things. things go boom boom. i go back in time. i do it again. 10/10
