Zeitghast

GOD I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO CHANGE CONTROLS The fact that jump is "W" in a fast paced game should be a crime instead of spacebar Nice designs, and fun gameplay, though. It's just that ONE small control issue screws up the game, But for people who love dinosaurs, and can get used to the controls, would recommend :D

I don't think the developer every playtested this with a controller. You aim with the right stick, jump with Y for some reason, shoot with the right shoulder, and dash with the right trigger (good luck doing that at the same time) but there's no remap option (controller or keyboard). Twenty or thirty years ago I might have tried playing this with a keyboard and mouse but even if I wasn't playing this on my couch I still have no interest in playing a platformer without a controller in 2024.

[h1]時間が通貨なタイプの横スクロールアクション[/h1] オーソドックスでわかりやすい悪い博士をやっつけるストーリー。キーボードで移動して、左クリックで攻撃、右クリックでダッシュ。各ステージはNormalとHardが選択可能だが、制限時間や操作の関係でNormalでも良いと思った。 特徴は制限時間がそのまま通貨なところ。武器を購入したりライフを回復したりするのに時間を消費する。敵を倒すととりあえず時間をドロップしてくれるので、普通にクリアするだけならタイムオーバーになる可能性は低いと思った。ただ、コレクタブルを集めようとするとマップのあちこちに行く必要があるのでギリギリかもしれない。 気になったのはダッシュ方向がキーボード依存なこと。慣れの問題ではあるがエイムに気を取られているとあらぬ方向にダッシュしている事がある。…よく考えたらたいていこういう操作な気がしないでもないが。 あとは武器の性能が偏っている気がすること。好みの問題ではあるが、ほぼトカゲと氷でプレイした。 ノックバックだったりどこか挙動にクセがあるものの、アクションゲーム好きならプレイしてみても良いと思った。通しでプレイして1時間ぐらいはかかる程度のステージ数があるのでそのへんは留意。

This is a fast paced and fun game. It's simple enough to enjoy even though I don't play pc games ever. You jump, slash, and shoot your way through timed levels. For a free teeny tiny indie game, I am impressed. Good job! It's a fun time.
