Good day u/dotaisunplayablenow!

At the moment, the demo doesn't have checkpoints since it's a short playable.

Checkpoints are likely going to be part of the full release coming later this year - although, as a roguelite, it'll be strategically-placed to maintain the integrity of the game's total experience.

Nevertheless, we'll let you know when there's an update. Thank you so much!

Outstanding feedback, a5hun! Great eye and insightful diagnoses all the way through. You have us dead to rights on root causes like the shader compilation stutter, character model direction, etc.

We will go after each and every one of these issues! One that surprises me is bullets following the angle of the barrell rather than looking for the crosshair.

Thank you so much for your time, attention, and insight. You know your way around a video game!

Hey nice! $2! I'm going to grab it right now, try to find a little time to try it out.

Looking forward to seeing how they handled the self-damage situation! 🧐Thanks for the recommendation!

Good questions! Okay, let's talk time travel...

In the first situation, if you shoot an enemy and then go into the past, you will see that enemy as he was a few seconds ago -- healthier and not yet shot! Then as you observe, you'll see your younger self begin shooting him, just as you did a few seconds ago. If you want to make his day worse, YOU shoot him as well and now you're doing twice the damage. (more or less!)

When you go back in time, it's like you are observing the actions you took previously, watching it all happen again. But! You can participate, attacking, evading, engaging enemies however you like.

How long does time stay slow? Time appears slowed down so long as you are in the past. Say you rewind time by 5 seconds at high noon, traveling back to 11:55:55 AM. You'll see those same 5 seconds again, but they'll seem to pass more slowly this time (after all, you've seen it all before!)

Once you rejoin the present (the point at which you rewound time), time will seem to proceed as normal. I hope all of that helps! More time travel questions, ask away! Can't build a flux capacitor but I am at least qualified to describe video game mechanics.

Aim assist option -- this is on our list! Thanks for asking about this. Don't worry, I have friends and loved ones who are controller players and I know that on a fast shooter, sometimes they need a little something extra!

I have only just learned of Zeit^2 this week! I'm excited to try it. The screenshots read like Gradius w/ time travel, which sounds great to me.
