It\u2019s a side-scroller shmup where you can press a button to slow down time. Nothing new here, right? But the brilliance of this game is showing you a real-time replay of your match after it ends.

The controls are weird, but the designer really incorporated them into the tightest level design I\u2019ve seen in a jam entry. Really good game all around.

And this minimalist game really delivers on this regard \u2013 the very little art, gameplay and sound that exist are all exquisite. I would love to see a more developed version of this little game.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer Falls to Hit Death<\/strong><br\/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-27\/?action=preview&amp;uid=1893\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-27\/?action=preview&amp;uid=1893<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/thumb\/c60585b16db84d6f8b643c41c16b65d6.jpg\" width=\"450\"\/><\/p>\n<p>One of the most polished game in this jam.
