Limited amount of ammo so you have to be smart. Light puzzle elements which are not hard. The story is good can be a bit confusing because it is about time travel. The only bad thing is that the joystick is not easy to use when aiming at bad guys. I recommend you change your settings which makes the controls a bit easier to use. I recommend for fans of JYDGE and Crimsonland ### 5/5 — Great twin-stick fun! *2021-12-03, version 1.0.4* This is a frantic twin-stick shooter than can be unforgiving (read: deadly) for even the tiniest mistakes, but it keeps you coming back for more to get through that troublesome level unscathed. I do love the challenge and I do think that a controller is all but necessary for this game. I play on an iPad Pro with an Xbox Series X controller as well as on an iPhone 11 Pro Max with Backbone One. This game is 3+ years old and could probably benefit from a small refresh (as you’ve been doing for other games) for modern iOS and hardware. For example in the Backbone One app which is used for launching games with that controller, Time Recoil shows up as a general empty grey icon. So it could probably use a little tweak to be compatible with that. Game works great with Backone One in any case! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2021-08-23, version 1.0.4* Worst game I’ve played on iPhone, and I’m a big fan of 10 ton shooting games but this particular title is one colossal fall off from 10 ton greats such as Neon Chrome, JYDGE, Undead Horde, & Tesla vs Lovecraft ### 5/5 — Great game and support *2019-10-20, version 1.0.4* Bought the game only because developer continues to support and always update for new devices, that’s always a huge plus. Thank you ### 4/5 — Great game with a bug *2019-08-03, version 1.0.4* Love this game. It’s a great change from a typical top down shooter. There does seem to be an issue where I constantly lock on to file cabinets and can’t target enemies. Keeps getting me killed. Especially when it’s a file cabinet in another room. Aside from this frustrating issue it’s an excellent game. ### 3/5 — Gd game but not controls *2018-11-20* It would be some much more enjoyable if there would be possibility to change the controls. Can you change fire button to 3D Touch on compatible devices and double tap to dash and put interact button in top right corner? With 1 shot and you dead controls should be as perfect and simple as possible but there is no option at all to change anything , even the layout. ### 4/5 — Good game but was not as fun *2018-01-23, version 1.0.2* I loved neon chrome and JYDGE is really good. Maybe this one is not my cup of tea because I didn't want to play through the end. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2017-12-16* Best game I have ever played on the iPhone ### 1/5 — Infuriating *2017-10-30* Beautiful game, thought it was what I’ve been looking for for ages. Played it for a bit but when you’ve spent an hour trying to get past a single level and having to start from scratch each time, I’ve decided to delete it. Just way too annoying. Re-submitting my review after giving this a second chance. Wish I hadn’t bothered giving it a second chance. What a let down. ### 5/5 — Another Winner *2017-10-28, version 1.0.1* Super fun ## Frequently asked questions about Time Recoil ### What is Time Recoil?
