About

Retimed is a local multiplayer arena shooter for 2-4 players. When a player is in danger, time slows down and a time bubble is created around the player. Now there is enough time to react and try to dodge the deadly projectiles. These time bubbles generate exciting alternations between fast-paced movement and tension-filled slowmotion moments.

    The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced, competitive platform shooting with unique mechanics like time warping, which adds depth and excitement. While the game is enjoyable in multiplayer settings and features interesting gimmicks, many players feel it lacks content and variety, particularly in single-player modes. Overall, it offers a fun experience, especially with friends, but some find it simplistic and in need of more diverse levels and gameplay elements.

    • “The fast-paced gameplay and the weird gimmicks, like portals or ricocheting bullets, created a frantic and fun game that I enjoyed playing with my friends.”
    • “A fun competitive platform shooter, with an interesting time mechanic; just before a bullet hits you, time slows in a bubble around you so you can try to avoid or even deflect the bullet. So much fun!”
    • “The gameplay is very fast and crisp once you get a good grasp of the mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay consists of platformer arena shooting against other players (if you can find any) and bots if you try the shallow single player mode.”
    • “There's a handful of single player levels to play through but the game is mainly meant for multiplayer, and gameplay itself isn't all that interesting besides the bullet time mechanic.”
    • “In my opinion, I think the game needs a bit more variety in level/game mechanics.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by simplistic 2D art assets that offer limited resolution options, resulting in minimal improvement in visual quality. While some players appreciate the unique and appealing art style, others criticize it as cheap and unattractive, with a general consensus that the graphics do not enhance the overall gameplay experience.

    • “The art style is a bit different from what I usually play, in a very good way.”
    • “A really fun arena shooter with cute graphics and well-balanced mechanics.”
    • “The graphical presentation is appealing and the gameplay is highly addictive.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
    • “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the cartoony 2D visuals.”
    • “As bad as expected... bad gameplay, ugly graphics/design...”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the soundtrack for fitting the game's themes and enhancing the carefree aesthetic, others find it lacking in variety and attention-grabbing melodies. Overall, the music is described as generally good, with some standout tracks, but not universally praised.

    • “The soundtrack fits the themes very well.”
    • “Good gameplay, good music, has singleplayer support & is great with friends as a couch co-op game.”
    • “The music is absolutely excellent!”
    • “The music drives me nuts.”
    • “The music complies with this carefree aesthetic, but the melodies don't attract attention and lack variety.”
    • “Some of the music isn't great, but most of it was okay.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for lacking depth and richness, as the developers relied too heavily on player-versus-player interactions instead of crafting a compelling single-player narrative with engaging missions and characters. This approach has led to a disappointing experience, with many players feeling that the story fails to capture their interest or provide meaningful stakes.

    • “There are stakes, stuff to win, or just with the story (players' rivalry and pride).”
    • “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding deeper storytelling and level design to the game.”
    • “Hardly a success story; gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
    • “Single player could use more missions.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players highlighting its hilarious moments and fun multiplayer experience. The quick combat and close-call scenarios contribute to the overall comedic atmosphere, making it a standout choice for those seeking laughter in gaming.

    • “Bought it on a whim with a few mates, was hilarious and a load of fun.”
    • “One of the best multiplayer games ever, quick combat and funny moments.”
    • “Very funny game with great modes.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers note that the game suffers from a lack of replayability, as it does not incorporate enough variations or challenges to make each match feel distinct, even on the same map. This absence of dynamic elements diminishes the overall enjoyment typical of party games.

    • “The main drawback is the lack of replayability; party games typically introduce twists, changes, and challenges so that no match feels the same, even on the same map.”
    • “After a few rounds, the game starts to feel repetitive, and I found myself losing interest quickly due to the limited variety.”
    • “While the game is fun initially, it quickly becomes stale as there are not enough different modes or challenges to keep players engaged long-term.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, suggesting that it may detract from the overall enjoyment and flow of gameplay.

    • “Just feels tedious.”
    • “The grinding is mind-numbing and takes away from the enjoyment of the game.”
    • “I find myself doing the same repetitive tasks over and over, which makes the game feel like a chore.”
