I eventually figured out the difference between holding the chip and throwing it on the ground, and how to use these states, but I still have no idea what the slots where you can place the chip are supposed to do.\nAlso, the controls are extremely confusing - I can't think of another top-down game where WASD moves the character relative to where they're facing rather than relative to the screen.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":853982,"author_name":"AlexYam","author_uid":"alexyam","epoch":1664878304,"text":"Very interesting mechanic and graphic.

Sorry for the confusion. Though this game is intended to have  minimum instruction on how things work, I figured that most people still find it confusing somehow. So I've updated the game description to include a brief explanation of the mechanics. Enjoy!\n\nI'm also updating the game to include a better control scheme.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":866254,"author_name":"LDJam user 298734","author_uid":"298734","epoch":1664977363,"text":"so the 10s time keep played back and forth? reminds me of tennet\n(come from bilibili and \u6c42\u4e92\u6295\uff01\uff09","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":866702,"author_name":"lbrande","author_uid":"lbrande","epoch":1664982409,"text":"Cool sound effects and a cool idea which incorporates the theme well.

I like how you have to rely on time to rewind certain actions, even including locked doors! I got a small glitch where I am suddenly able to clip through walls and avoid all bullets. I can't really recall the cause to it but Im pretty sure it happens when you die after throwing away the chip.
