Chrono Rebellion
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
This is a prototype of the first game I'm working on. Basically, you are an agent of the time with time-travel abilities who is being pursued and needs to survive to the constant enemy hordes as much as you can.
I'm working on testing first the abilities, so Enemy AI, Enemy types, horde mode itself and level design are still lacking a lot of work. Please bear with me!
Time travel abilities are:
- Slow Motion: Slows the time for some seconds, for everything except from the player. Needs to keep pressed to use it.
- Rewind Time: Rewinds the world some seconds, everything except from the player. Needs to keep pressed to use it.
- Echoes: Records movements that are reproduced as an echo from the past (and damages enemies as well). Press to start recording, press again to play the echo.
- Traverse in Time: Saves a point in time and goes back to it, damaging enemies that are in your way back to the origin point. Press to save a return point, press again to come back to it.
I'm assessing which ones of those work better to include them in the final game (or change what is needed to make them actually usable). Please feel free to comment about that and/or start discussions about the abilities, your feedback will really help me understand if the core mechanics are working and would be much appreciated! :D
Apart from the abilities, please don't hesitate to share any bug you find, or any idea you feel would make the game better.
Thank you very much!

Install instructions
The game is available both for Windows and MacOS. I tried to upload it as WebGL but I was facing too many issues. I could focus on that in the future, but for now I'll stick to Windows and MacOS.
To run it:
- Download the .zip file according to your operating system
- Extract the .zip file
- Run the game
- If on MacOS, run the StandaloneOSX.app executable
- If on Windows, run the StandaloneWindows.exe executable
- Enjoy and share your feedback! :)
