Description
Fast-paced time-freezing bullet-hell-in-space score-chaser built for the Playdate
Achieve massive scores by keeping up your momentum. Chain actions together to
keep your score multiplier up, and kill enemies in rapid succession to scale
exponentially!
When you're surrounded, freeze time to get yourself out of harms way. But be
careful! You'll need to survive in real time in order to gain back the ability.
Charging your hookshot gives you a moment of respite, but you'll need to
decide what you want to do quickly or time will unfreeze and you'll surely be
sliced.
Unlockable Levels
Harder challenges await! Get high scores and open up even more difficult
levels, with more enemies with faster bullets and more difficult terrain to
navigate
