Have you heard about SUPERHOT? An FPS game where time moves only when you move? I’m sure you have. Creators of the SUPERHOT had only one week to make playable prototype. We decided to the same.

Most of you wont have time or just wont be able to focus on all of these subjects, so you will most likely get basic animations rolling and create some gameplay around it.
