Justin Time by pandepic



You're Private Justin Time. A military time research facility has gone dark. No communications for days. You've been sent to investigate.
Now you're stuck in an endless time loop.
You need to fix the time machine, but you don't have much time before the loop resets! Fight past enemies from the past and the future in a groundhog's day from hell.

Other that that, it is a cool game. There is super cool concept for a rougelite in that, if you are willing to keep working on that.
One more thing - game crashed on me, when I tried to change audio settings. Could you fix that, and ping me? I would love to play that with sound on!
I think the enemies are pretty funny, I think one was the top half of a cave man, and the other was robot legs. having the boss be the two put together is great. I really like that you're collecting the hour and minute hands on the clock, that made me smile. Despite the issues I had, I think the game was pretty good. I had a bit of a negative first impression, but I enjoyed my time with it overall I think.

Otherwise, this might be stupid, but try renaming the "Justin Time" folder to "JustinTime" without space.
To open the door, you need a key.

Also thanks to everyone that's played the game so far! You're all great!
Thanks for submitting your game!
Which brings me on to the time limit. It took me about 10-12 loops just to get hold of the little hand and bring it back. I have no idea where I'm supposed to go or what I'm supposed to do to get the big hand, and *less than zero idea* how I'm supposed to do *both* in just 90 seconds. It seems like a genuinely impossible task.
I want to like this game, I really do, but it needs some serious rebalancing because as it is, it's just too difficult.
other than that, was also a big fan of the purple clock animation aswell as the "wavey" distortion!
You're the best!
