Broken promises simulator

Remember playing the concept demo and bought the game since day 1 game released.

It's pretty solid game. Worth few bucks.

Game takes 10MB on your pc, but 2TB on your brain.

Play with friends, at one point both of you give up and start making every possible time move and turn the game into a modern art piece.

Seriously though, buy it if you like concept of Time manipulation, it's the best representation of the concept i've seen so far.

It starts with "One more run". Ends with "Alarm set for 20 minutes from now on".

How to make a firework show in these 2 easy steps!
Step 1: Crossbow
Step 2: Freeze + Enemies explode into bullets.

It's good. It's worth it's price even for an Early Access.

There's also tons of custom levels on discord and workshop. Go ham alone or even with friends via Remote Play.

Just buy it, it's fun.

It has begun.

Sound design? Excellent. Everything falls short however.

BPM is a rougelike just like many others, get powerups, find better weapons, kick ass, die, repeat.
Gameplay honestly is not so bad, despite my 14 minutes of it... The charm is there and can feel great when you get a hang of it.

But let me tell you, fellow rougelike enthusiast to another player, two biggest problems about this game.
First and foremost, you definitelly saw it right away... The visuals, right? Bunch of filters stuck on top and called it a style... Sure might work in some cases but not for a hecktic first person shooter. Not only you are forced to maintain a beat to every single movement you do, but also somehow keep a track of 8 different enemies and 10 projectiles heading your way. Not only it is already a lot of information to process, but you will NOT be able to see everything as well. It's not a blur, don't get me wrong - you just don't get a big, differently coloured warning to your brain that you are about to get hit and you should change your trajectory. Also you're surrounded, also you got thrown off-rythm, enjoy instant death!

It's incredibly bad game design, some might say to make it harder for player but... Is it fair? Is it fun? You won't even know what killed you or what you were supposed to do, so learning this game is gonna be as equally bad. And there won't seem to be any plans towards fixing anything. All of this because of single visual choice.

Secondly major issue, rougelike.
But isn't that the core principle of the game? Yes! But they never took what makes rougelikes fun. They are not unique. Same song, same level, same enemies, same mechanic, your every single playthrough is going to be copy pasted for hours until the end. Looked game up quite a lot online before purchase, it's as bad as they say about this problem.

Buy it, play for like an hour if you insist, but keep in mind that the game design team absolutely messed up with the foundations.

Soundtrack mixed in with sound effects slaps tho. But please... For the love of god, double check with playtesters if a game you make is something that you could play for hours without switching to something more fun.

Bought it, 12 hours passed since then and it's a new day.

This game is a 5$ crack for anyone who likes rougelike games.
