A downloadable chronomania for Windows

Description:

In Chronomania, movement isn't only experienced through space but also time. Being a retro-movement shooter, it's a wacky love-letter to the memorable classics like Doom and Quake that defined the FPS genre back in the 90s. With a focus on unique time bending abilities, the player can rewind and freeze enemies in time, as well as enter slow motion and even rewind themselves - all a new way of pushing the boundaries of the classic fps movement system. As such, the game aims to bridge the gap between old and new whilst maintaining a reverence for the formula featured in classic retro FPS titles. The main focus is on packing juicy gunplay, smooth movement, and tight level design all into a bombastic 80s narrative. 

The gameplay sees the player chasing an evil robot mafia through time, battling a variety of robotic enemies through medieval sewers, Triassic jungles and 80s laboratories. This is all skinned as unapologetically 80s blockbuster – Who doesn’t love the idea of a disco-era laser T-rex?

Features:

  • Gunplay - The pistol is deadly at range and has explosive rounds, the shotgun is effective up close and bullets bounce.
  • Dynamic player movement - Slide, dash and double jump and the maps feature launchpads, wall runs and dash-rings .
  • Time-Manipulation - rewind and freeze enemies and objects. slow down time and rewind it!
  • Unique and stylized enemies - weird and wacky enemies based on the the time period and a Robot Mafia theme.
  • Unique Worlds - 2 themed worlds throughout time (and more to come!).


Note!: This game is still in early production.

Wow I am Amazed On how Cool This looks! I love Playing retro Games Will have to play it when it releases!

Hey acidpuppy, it was great meeting you all at egx, I love the game and the passion you have for it; I can't wait to play more of it as and when you release it. Hopefully you had some luck talking to publishers! 

Just a heads up, I found a bug where your settings get reset per major checkpoint eg finding the time glove and entering the next level :)

Hi, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share it with you along with some feedback that might be useful to you ^^ (I'll send the form one too ;) )

-The concept of the game is quite well represented in this vertical slice of it, you can feel how the mechanics might work and the vibes it is going to give as a final product ^^

-The gameplay mechanics work pretty well and you make some good use of them when it comes to level design. I really loved the slow motion mechanic and how you can interact with the enemies to change the rythm of a fight.

-Visually I'll say that this is not my prefered visual style, BUT that doesn't that it is bad. I'll say that it is pretty well executed, it could be a little bit more "clean" when the action heats up and that it really works pretty well with the rest of the game.

In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on it. Hopefully this is useful for the development :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Regards
