Indeed, your perception of what 10 seconds means is totally different depending on the context. The later levels really feel like 1 minute or so. hahaha\r\rI kinda got the same impression of time stretching \/ compression in my game. I made a shooter where every 10 seconds you are subject to a special rule, out of several options. It really is amazing how 10 seconds go blazingly fast when it's something to your benefit, and how it takes ages when you're at gunpoint. Never had heard of the Kappa and Stopped Clock effects though, this was enlightening! :)\r\rCongrats on your game!"},{"author_name":"Zap","author_uid":"27818","time":"Sep 16, 2013 @ 7:13am","epoch":1379315280,"text":"Really awesome interpretation of the theme and aim for your game!

It can also be a fast shift in frequency of an emitted signal or other quick change. Saccades are quick, simultaneous movements of both eyes in the same direction.\" -Wikipedia\r\n\r\nApplying lessons from the study of time perception to game design, <-Saccade-> is a game that reaches beyond its digital cage to warp the very fabric of the reality that you occupy. Through use of temporal illusions such as the Kappa Effect and the Stopped Clock Illusion you will soon find that each increasingly-hectic 10-second level stretches on into infinity. However, it's all in your head, as <-Saccade-> has sent you into your own personal bullet-time Hell.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of <-Saccade-> is to induce subjective time dilation in the player. In this regard, the game plays you.\r\n\r\nDon't fret, though. You can seek revenge on the program for its demonic reality obscuring abilities by running it through an overstressed CPU so that it becomes choppy and slow. Turnabout is fair play!\r\n\r\nTIP: Shoot the red ones. Don't shoot the blue ones.","title":"<-Saccade->"}
