Never Out Of Time

« Never Out Of Time » is a bullet-hell/danmaku type of shoot ’em up where you go through levels in which you have to face multiple enemies shooting massive amounts of bullets at you, while having a single life... but there is a twist : You can control the flow of time at will.

This game wants to offer a change of pace from the classic shoot 'em up experience which tests your reflexes and your ability to memorize patterns. In Never Out Of Time, you'll be able to slow down time to a stop and even rewind the last few seconds whenever you want in order to better analyze the patterns thrown at you, thread the needle, and try another approach if needed.Key FeaturesA classic bullet hell experience with a new approach.
Thousands of bullets for beautiful and contemplative (but still deadly!) patterns.
Relative time : if you stop, the game comes to a halt, and if you move slowly so does the game. Music is also affected in a way!
Time rewind : you can rewind the last few seconds of action at will.
A big space station to explore through 7 extensive levels with many complex patterns to master and enemies to destroy (there are checkpoints).
A complete and interactive (but optional) tutorial level to get the feel of the gameplay if you need to.
Many secret challenges to trigger in each level, which drastically change enemies behaviors and patterns.
Detailed scoring system (killed enemies, real timer, relative timer, grazed bullets, etc) with multiple leaderboards so you can compete in the category that suits you.
Patterns are for the most part designed with the speed-running aspect in mind. A seasoned player should be able to minimize his use of the time control and rush through levels at relatively high speed.
