Timewave

Timewave is an innovative space shooter game that allows the player to manipulate the flow of time within the game. As a top-down style shooter game, it offers a unique twist that sets it apart from other games in this genre. The player's spaceship has a limited ability to control time, which can be activated by holding down one button, causing the game to run at double speed and building up a meter on-screen. Another button releases the bar, and the game runs at half speed, providing the player with additional maneuverability when it's critically needed.

The gameplay includes six levels that increase in difficulty, culminating in a final boss fight. The game also saves high scores and features a complete soundtrack with an array of explosion and gunshot noises, which enhances the game's overall theme and tone.

Timewave requires libraries such as libsdl, sdl_image, and sdl_mixer to deliver an engaging gaming experience. It supports the use of joysticks and gamepads, which adds to the overall experience of the game. Additionally, the difficulty level has been lowered on various bosses and levels, and minor bug fixes have been made.

The release also includes a dedicated Linux version in the zipped file, along with access to play the game in a window. Overall, Timewave offers an engaging and unique gaming experience that is worth checking out for any avid gamer.
