"Hello, is this the game you are looking for?"
-Lionel Richie

Controls:
W OR UP = MOVE FORWARD
S OR DOWN = MOVE BACKWARD
LEFT = ROTATE LEFT
RIGHT = ROTATE RIGHT
A = STRAFE LEFT
D = STRAFE RIGHT
SPACE = USE WEAPON
R = FREEZE TIME (IF YOU HAVE A SECOND)
ESCAPE = PAUSE

Collect all ten seconds to unlock the boss room on the 5th floor. Red chests contain health, gray chests give you a weapon upgrade, and brown chests contain seconds. There are 5 levels excluding the boss with 2 seconds per level. There are 2 weapon upgrades scattered throughout the floors. If you use a second to freeze time it will still allow you to enter the boss room if you collect the other nine. Each weapon has a range, damage amount, and speed:
Knife(Start Weapon) - Range = .5 Damage = 1 Speed = 1;
Cane - Range = .75 Damage = 1 Speed = 2;
Sword - Range = .75 Damage = 2 Speed = 2;

*BE SURE TO EXPLORE TO FIND THE WEAPONS AND EXTRA HEALTH*

Thanks for playing.

Good game! Really loved the art style, but combat was pretty difficult and I could never kill more than 2 enemies.

Decent game, loved the raycasting and the art style was cute, although the combat was really difficult (as Bmanrules said).

Sorry about the combat. I know its not the best. I've play tested it all the way through several times and its not a game you can just rush at enemies. The knife has a small range so you have to be close to the enemy and you especially need to backup so you don't get hit.

Took some tries to find out the correct range for knife attack but once you get it it's all right. Didn't get to the boss though ^^ Nice job anyway :)

Nifty :) Couldn't find more than one clock, though... I got lost. :(

This was really fun. A bit too hard for me, but then again I suck at navigating mazes. I really liked the second-powerup idea, kind of like a bullet-time mechanism. Excellent!

I probably should have pointed out that the colored pads on the ground teleport you between levels where you can find more clocks

I really like the use of the theme. The music was a little annoying after awhile.

Very hard to get the melee range, I always got hit before I manage to kill a mob.

Nice! Got killed on level 3, but I'll surely play this again ;-)

Managed to beat the 2 first mob after the 7th try, just to become the third encounter's food...
I like the pixelish graphics!
