About

Retimed is a single player and multiplayer casual shooter game. It was developed by Team Maniax and was released on December 5, 2019. It received positive reviews from players.

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, the mechanics are well-received, but the experience can feel simplistic and repetitive without more diverse levels and interactions.
- “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.”
- “Not enough maps... I think the maps do not need to have new mechanics but we surely need more maps to add some variety.”

- “A really fun arena shooter with cute graphics and well-balanced mechanics.”
- “I adore the unique art style and hope there will be lots of additional levels over time.”

- “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...”

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 players feeling that the storytelling elements are insufficient and unengaging. Overall, the narrative fails to captivate, leaving players wanting more from the single-player aspect.
- “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.”

Reviewers note that the game suffers from a lack of replayability, as it does not incorporate enough twists, changes, or challenges to make each match feel distinct, even on the same map. This diminishes the overall excitement and variety typically expected from 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.”
- “Once you've played through the game, there isn't much incentive to return, as the experience feels repetitive and lacks variety.”
- “The game quickly loses its charm after a few playthroughs due to the limited content and predictable gameplay.”
