M2G Writes:
Coming to Xbox 360 and PC later this year, Zeit² is a side-scrolling shooter game in which players control a bubble-covered spaceship as it shoots waves of enemies, while also giving you the ability to fast-forward time to get through sections of the game more quickly, and rewind time to deal even more damage to your enemies. It certainly sounds different, and good fun too.
We wanted to know more, so luckily Thomas Bedenk of Brightside Games was on hands to tell us just that.
10 Shmups That Deserve More Attention
A look at the indie game Zeit², :a neat little entry into the world of schmups."
Is Zeit pure Zeitgeist?
Here is a snippet:
"Lack of story aside Zeit² brings a lot to the table. Numerous mechanics litter the game layered on top of the usual avoid/shoot gameplay of similar titles. Most striking among these is the time manipulation, which allows time to be fast forwarded or reversed using the trigger buttons. While the forward power is primarily used just to amass extra points (scores are higher when time is accelerated) the reverse ability introduces a great deal more and is essential to successfully navigate the game."
