Gameplay

The key feature of TimeShift is the player"s ability to control time: slowing, stopping or even rewinding time more or less at will. This allows a player to stop time to dodge an incoming projectile or steal an enemy"s weapon. Specific time-related puzzles also require these abilities. The player"s abilities also affect the color of their environment in such that slowing time produces a blueshift, rewinding it produces a yellow haze, and stopping time creates a white filter "haze". The player must use them wisely to make its way through the game. In some parts of the game you can lengthen your time powers.
