mindgrid by robochase6000

an inception-like game where you can enter the minds of enemies and deal with different scales of time
I ran out of time on this one, i got the basic concept finished, but ran out of time to turn it into a game. maybe next time!!

Good effort
PS: I think that's one of the coolest use of theme so far!
the plan with this is to add a Safe in each level that you can plant an idea into (like inception). this would basically just change the robot's behavior to like ignore you, guard you, enrage, etc. it's a really strange idea and tbh Idk if it would actually 'come together' very well lol, but It's worth a shot I think. I'm just happy I got to work on some new stuff/mechanics :)
And to the folks above who experienced crashes, did you press Enter after the second window appears? It appears like the game has frozen but its actually waiting for you to pick a timeline to enter.
thanks for the tip about pressing enter btw - I forgot that it's paused by default when you switch. maybe that's what you're stuck on @beardmage ... I meant to add some UI here, but hadn't gotten to it yet
