"Freezes Time When You Stop Moving" You can control the speed of time with only one finger! Move slowly, and time slows down. Move quickly, and it speeds up. But the looming darkness behind you never stops. You must keep going — sometimes with calm precision, sometimes with bold aggression. Time Locker is a minimalist shooter. Many foes will attack you, including animals, mammoths, soldiers, and even a giant T-Rex. But you have one great advantage. Control the speed of time and enhance your character and equipment without limit to get a high score. [ Features of the Apple Arcade Version ] - Special characters only available in the Arcade version - New enemies will appear - Some weapons have been enhanced - Redesigned game difficulty
