Tempus Fugit - CircuitStream Game Jam Submission

Rogue sentient AI, Titank, controls everything about human existence - except time. Your rebel kill switch team discovers a new AI named T.E.M.P.U.S., the Time Excursion and Modification Prototype Umbrella System. Titank wants to use T.E.M.P.U.S. to destroy humanity. She has other ideas - and it involves taking over your body!

When bonded with T.E.M.P.U.S., you can stop time, but doing so steals years of your life. What will you risk to save... everyone?

You've breached a power facility that Titank relies on to build its bots. In this prototype level, pick up the power cubes and relocate them to contain and destroy the enemy bots using the force fields. The smaller the containment, the soon the field will destroy the bot. Can you get through the zone before you're caught, killed, or die trying?

This is a vertical slice prototype in development created for the Circuit Stream Game Jam 2023. The theme is inconvenient superpowers.

Controls:
WASD to move
E to interact (computer terminal, pick up boxes)
Q to toggle time freeze (and not die! Watch your life orb.)

(Unzip and open Inconvenient Superpowers to start game)
