Our take on Time Recoil
The defining mechanic is that killing enemies slows time, with consecutive kills extending the slowdown and enabling special moves for chained attacks through walls and opponents.
What is Time Recoil?
Time Recoil is a top-down shooter built around a kill-triggered time-slowing mechanic.
Each kill activates slow motion, while consecutive kills extend its duration and open access to special moves. These moves let the protagonist dash through walls and enemies, combining movement and slowed gunfights into destructive attack chains. Missions take place across time, with objectives including assassinations and scientist rescues. A wormhole in the rebel base leads to the past, where the protagonist works for a rebel organization pursuing Mr Time. The antagonist is a scientist controlling a time-based weapon of mass destruction. The central goal is to stop him in the past before the future is lost.
How Time Recoil plays
- 01Kill-triggered slowdown

- 02Wall-bursting moves
- Kills made during slowed time grant moves that can cross walls and strike enemies.
- 03Time-travel missions
- A wormhole at the rebel base sends the protagonist into the past for objectives such as assassinations and rescues.
