Time Rush 0.0.2

The game concept revolves around the GameDevjs jam's theme of "Time," where Time Rush emphasizes that time is the ultimate currency. Every aspect of the game, including ammunition, health terminals, and the timer, are all interconnected, and using any of them consumes time while providing a beneficial outcome. Whether it be replenishing ammo for your weapons, repairing your level, or unlocking the portal at the end of each level, each action requires a careful balance of time management to progress through the game.

Like most games, Time Rush offers a variety of pickups to help players heal and protect themselves. Throughout the levels, you will come across time Orbs that heal your timer by five units, thereby also healing yourself. With these pickups at your disposal, you can carefully strategize and maneuver through each level, minimizing the damage taken while optimizing your use of time to progress through the game.

What's new in Time Rush 0.0.2? This enhanced version of the game takes it to the next level, introducing a range of exciting features. Players will now have access to a diverse selection of characters, customizable options, and a skill tree offering a wide array of abilities. By carefully selecting skills from the main base, players can strategize and explore the unique advantages and disadvantages associated with each skill.

The shield ability has undergone a comprehensive rework, and, in fact, all abilities within the game have been revamped. Each ability now features a distinct cooldown timer, necessitating thoughtful consideration before deploying them strategically.

Skills

In addition, I am enhancing the visual aesthetics of Time Rush by incorporating intricate level details, refined water physics, and implementing advanced lighting techniques. While I'm continuously striving to improve the enemy AI, I acknowledge that creating compelling enemies and bosses is an area I am actively developing my skills in. Rest assured, I am dedicated to honing this aspect of the game.

Why the Play test ?

I aim to emphasize that version 0.0.2 of the game is not merely a reskin of its predecessor. My intention is to showcase the extensive enhancements and additions I have prepared for the game. Furthermore, I eagerly seek feedback from the community to gain valuable insights and identify areas where further improvements can be made to enhance the overall gameplay experience.

Here are some notable upcoming features in development for Time Rush. Expect an array of engaging additions such as various pickups, challenging obstacles, formidable enemies, epic bosses, and much more. Additionally, I will be incorporating exciting new game features to further enhance the overall gameplay experience. Furthermore, please note the presence of poison water depicted above, a hazardous element that continuously inflicts damage to your Health (referred to as the timer), gradually leading to your demise.

I will dedicate ample time to meticulously develop an early access version of the game, ensuring its quality and refinement. Additionally, I am committed to maintaining a consistent update schedule on Twitter, providing timely and informative updates to keep players engaged and informed about the game's progress.
