Temporal Escape by Louis Mareau
Hi all!
@Sigo, @Asheko and myself worked over 72 hours to present to youTemporal Escape, our submission for the Ludum Dare 51!
Play as a time-bending Ninja stuck in a time-loop. Defeat your opponents by slashing through the time-space continuum and try to escape the grasp of the Godly Owl and its never-ending loop!

Here is a list of the inputs:
- WASD / ZQSD: up/down/left/right movements.
- Mouse Left click: Slash everything in front of you!
- Mouse Right Click (can be held): Dashes where the cursor is.
- Space: Activate your ultimate ability!
- Escape: Exit the game...
Thank you all for playing and giving our game a try! Cheers!!

Well, it does give the impression of being stuck in a loop.
Solid game! I didn't find myself using the dash at all, but the movement was very smooth. I'm just realizing now that I didn't try out the ultimate ability... that might have made the Owl fight a little quicker lol.
I did not notice any difference between the enemies. Some would explode, but I didn't notice the explosion doing anything. Perhaps an enemy that didn't move, but shot from afar, would make for more interesting gameplay.
Overall, solid game with good art. The title screen was gorgeous. Well done!
