What players say
Time Rifters, developed by Proton Studio Inc, is one of those rare indie shooters built around a single clever idea and confident enough to let that idea drive the entire experience. Rather than teaming you with AI companions or online players, the game turns your past performances into your future squadmates. You enter a combat arena, fight alone, and inevitably fail to destroy every target before time runs out...

Ever since my childhood self saw this game many years ago on youtube I was fascinated with its concept and loved it. And after finally getting it I am certainly satisfied, it is so much fun. It might be a bit old but it still holds up well I think. This game deserves more love and getting 100% achievements was really fun.
it was so delightful to spontaneously find, out of nowhere one of the coolest games i played when i was a kid, back when you were just living the life, such a nostalgia.
