About this game

Negative Time is a top-down shooter with bullet hell and roguelike elements where each time you get hit, you are sent further and further back in time, until you are sent into the past they tried so hard to erase. A past before time began - NEGATIVE TIME.

Get more powerful by collecting new weapons in this past realm. Then, when time becomes positive, use your newfound power to make it further through the halls of enemies in order to defeat the ones who erased you from existence.

Time Travel

Each time you die, you are sent back in time a number of seconds, called your interval. Then next time, your interval is double what it was previously. If your interval sends you back before the game started, you enter NEGATIVE TIME - an inverted copy of the game, with its own unique enemies, and new weapons to unlock.

Weird Weapons

Curate your loadout of unique weapons from 5 different tiers and 3 different categories. Some of these weapons are quite strange - try to find good combinations!

Blessings

Collect blessings to power up yourself and your weapons. But don't think you can just wait around and get by on god's gifts, because these boons don't last forever!

Difficult Opponents

Face off against 4 bosses and 20+ regular enemies, as you try to dodge their bouncing, exploding, predicting, homing, and wall-piercing bullets - even one hit sends you back before your mistake, so at the end of the day, you'll need to be flawless if you hope to win.
