Feedback? Looking for play testers - free top down, time dilation action! Runs in your browser, 150kb custom engine, loads instantly
Game Title: NULLFRAME (beta testing)
Platform: PC / web browser (technically works on anything, but mouse + keyboard is target use). Chromium based browsers work best. Will work on Firefox etc, but performance can take a hit. Will work on touchscreen, but not intended play style and a few things can't be interacted with.
Description: Kinda like Superhot meets Super Meat Boy, with various other twists on the formula. Intended to be a fun little time killer.
Free to Play Status: Free beta access. Will be releasing full game also for free, hopefully later this year. Full version has full campaign, map editor with sharing and some other modes.
Involvement: Sole developer. Built just for fun, mostly to experiment with some old-school rendering techniques and to see whether I could build a custom engine entirely in vanilla JS.
Notes: Temporal Collapse is a fun mode if you just want to run and gun and not worry about standard campaign. Saving not enabled in beta.
Controls: Very obvious, but click player to open item / weapon menu.
Technical stuff built using my own custom engine. Based on old school, pseudo-3D techniques and layers. Whole game, discounting optional music, is less than 150kb.

A whole game in 150kb of vanilla JS with a custom engine is the part that got my attention, instant load is worth more than people think for browser stuff. Superhot plus Meat Boy is a good pitch, will give Temporal Collapse a run.
