Sorry about that. All particle effects are quite optimized, so I think the problem is bullet quantity. I will look into it, I might find other way to achieve better performance.
I think the game engine I am using supports Linux but I don't have any way to test the build out. I might try uploading Linux version later on with disclaimer that it may not work.
great looking game! I will say I had trouble keeping track of when I had bullet, vs when I had stamina, and often would get into position to use one or the other, and then click click. Also, getting hit didn't feel very noticeable. I glanced at my health at one point and half of it was gone, and I had no idea when that happened.
Maybe my peripheral vision just sucks, but maybe It'd be nice to have little pips with this information near the character!
yeah, I've been challenging myself to see how far I could get with just the baseball bat and I keep running into bullets without deflecting them cuz I'm out of stamina. I was thinking the bat could appear and be orange when you can't swing or something.
Thanks for the feedback! I will definetly look into how to visualize ammo and stamina so it would be easier to track it during combat. And I agree, getting hit animation should be more noticible.
Sometimes after the level ends, you can't select upgrades. You can click them as many times as you want, but nothing happens.
Sometimes when the level begins, it starts in slow-mo mode, and it carries on for quite a while, longer than you usually get when hitting an enemy with a bat.
Also when you go for an explosion-based build, it becomes hard to discern what the enemies are doing cause everything gets covered with explosions.
Other than that fun game, keep it up, looking forward to more content.
Really fun! Excited to see what else will release. Critter stack is sooo fun to play (getting zombies critters and explosive critters just annihilates bosses)
I got such an OP combo were when I get a zombie to spawn when it dies it drops 24 critters and when enemys die they spawn a zombies so I beat the boss in 3 seconds parasite is funni
you should try an explosion build, explosive auto shooting bullets, combined with upped explosion damage, and explosion during and after block. Combine this with 250% chance to create a new explosion after a explosion and i killed the final boss before its first attack. (if you want, you can make a semi explosion and summon build, it is so fucking fun
Dude, my first run i got 2 zombie summoners on a weapon that attacked ever 0.20 seconds and also when a minnion dies it summons a critter, THEN a 25% chance for a critter when spawning to spawn another explosive critter, so i had a zombie critter explosive giant army. Fun Game
Weird. That shouldn't be possible. Maybe you haven't noticed that there is armor bar below health bar. Armor acts as health and when you take damage, you lose armor first. Shield thing gives you 1 point of armor. Let me know if that helped.
Can confirm the invincibility issue. Not sure if it was caused by a shield, but I noticed my invincibility while fighting the boss on 1-10 and it persisted onwards past then. Not sure when exactly the bug started on the run. Bullets still played their particle effect and disappeared after hitting the character, but no damage was dealt.
I played with a critter "deck" favoring all skills that summoned critters or benefit them, and I loved the vulture skill, being able to eat the dead corpses is really fantastic!
The animations are way too smooth! It feels great to smash through all the enemies, especially with the bat which is new to me. But it might be a little too easy? Anyways would love to see more!
I do feel the upgrade / relic / ability system can be improved. Sometimes there is "..." instead of a description. Sometimes I have to click on the level dots above the icon, sometimes on the icon itself and now I am on the "Choose mod" screen and I can't click anything except "Upgrade instead". The three icons all don't work
Came from Retromation's video. The game has really good visual and audio feedbacks, it feels good when enemies are defeated. The synergies are fun. There is enough variety to the enemies, I can form a clear strategy on what to do for each encounter based on the enemy design. The progression is quite fast when compared to other similar games in this genre, and i think it feels good.
I cant seem to get the downloadble version to work, opening it shows nothing even after waiting 10 mins, and there seems to be a shortcut that is trying to open the game from your desktop i think
Hey there, just a heads up! Whenever I play with WASD or Arrow Keys the game keeps moving my character for a second or so after I input. This is not an issue I have if I plug in my controller. It happens on both the Windows and Web versions!
The game feels really nice and I like the art, but for some reason in the upgrade menu it very rarely shows me the descriptions of the stuff I'm choosing. It took about 3 times of the menu showing up for me to realize it even tells me what they do.
Thanks for playing and sorry about this annoying bug. It seems only effect WebGL build because Windows build works fine. Anyways, I will try to fix it tomorrow.

Would it be possible to have the settings disable special effects to increase FPS? Just my potato pc doesn't really like me playing this game :C
Great game btw!!

Ok, thanks a lot!
When is linux version (if planned, otherwise MAKE IT)?
EDIT: The game works in wine (software for running windows apps on linux)
I think the game engine I am using supports Linux but I don't have any way to test the build out. I might try uploading Linux version later on with disclaimer that it may not work.
I can test it. If you upload or send a version to me (of the demo), i can reply.
That would be awesome! I will try to upload Linux version of Time to Strike tomorrow.
Nice!!
I uploaded Linux version! Let me know if it works
great looking game!

very cool idea!
That's a very elegant way to fix the problem. Awesome idea! I might implement it in the game!
Thanks for the feedback! I will definetly look into how to visualize ammo and stamina so it would be easier to track it during combat. And I agree, getting hit animation should be more noticible.
Yay! Lots of fun
This game is fun, but it need more levels or endless mode. Also can you let us change binds.
Great Game, only thing aside from the few bugs I disliked was the fact that it ends. Maybe add an infinite mode?
I noticed two bugs:
Also when you go for an explosion-based build, it becomes hard to discern what the enemies are doing cause everything gets covered with explosions.
Other than that fun game, keep it up, looking forward to more content.

Great game, really fun, however I found a bug where you suddenly become invulnerable, and it makes the game too easy.
I got such an OP combo were when I get a zombie to spawn when it dies it drops 24 critters and when enemys die they spawn a zombies so I beat the boss in 3 seconds parasite is funni

game mode
Fun game, though I found a bug where if you slow down time and finish the stage while it's still active, it stays active until you do it again
I died to boss 2 😡
Second time I managed to beat it🏆
Fun game, would like to see how it goes with the immortality bug fixed.
this was really fun
nice pretty fun
Is it me or when you get a shield you become immortal?
Sorry about the bug. I will do my best to fix it.
It alr
take your time
really fun, i loved going the path of explosions
Dude, my first run i got 2 zombie summoners on a weapon that attacked ever 0.20 seconds and also when a minnion dies it summons a critter, THEN a 25% chance for a critter when spawning to spawn another explosive critter, so i had a zombie critter explosive giant army. Fun Game
Hey so i am playing this and everytime i get even a singe of the shield things i become invincible and its kinda ruining the game for me

Made a video
Cocroaches so many Cocroaches
Hey this game is fantastic! It gave me lots of ideas for my survival game as well https://beorgames.itch.io/hero-battle-fantasy-arena :P
I played with a critter "deck" favoring all skills that summoned critters or benefit them, and I loved the vulture skill, being able to eat the dead corpses is really fantastic!
Are you sill working on this game?
Glad I could help! And yes, I am still working on the game. I even plan to release it on Steam, but before that, I will drop at least 1 free update.
That's fantastic! Do you have an email for business inquiries? I believe the current version can already start monetizing for you :D
The animations are way too smooth! It feels great to smash through all the enemies, especially with the bat which is new to me. But it might be a little too easy? Anyways would love to see more!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it! I'm actually still updating the game so more content is coming! :)
Super fun lil game, love it <3 keep up the good work.
Thanks for playing!
An incredible roguelike. I love the modularity of the upgrades!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!
Nice game! Feels good in every way.
I do feel the upgrade / relic / ability system can be improved. Sometimes there is "..." instead of a description.

Victory :-) 11:48, 273, 100% (can there be < 100% even?)
Yes, if you lose :)
Thanks for playing! Sorry for the confusing systems and bugs. I will address these in the next update (I am still updating the game).
these are the games that i like. Keep it up cuz i would love to play more
Thanks for playing! I am still updating the game so there will be more content
great idea with ammo and melee weapons
Thanks for playing!
I love how this game stars slowly and after 5 minutes you don't know how you got here. A lot of fun to play :)
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! Streamlined experience is what I am going for, so it is nice to hear that you liked this kind of progression
I cant seem to get the downloadble version to work, opening it shows nothing even after waiting 10 mins, and there seems to be a shortcut that is trying to open the game from your desktop i think
Weird. Are you using Windows?
yes, i can see the game running in task manager but nothing shows up
Sorry then, I don't really know how to fix it. It might be a problem with screen resolution but I am not sure.
Really fun mechanics! I love the mod system, everything feels really connected and there's a lot of potential for different builds every run
Thanks for playing! Glad that you enjoyed it!
how do I reload the ammo? i can't win a level on one clip and it doesn't say how in the controls
I have written that in 'how to play' page section. You need to successfully hit an enemy or deflect bullet with a bat. I hope this helps.
beat 2-5, game just stopped, guess that means I beat the game
That's a bug. Sorry about that. But yeah, that should have been the end.
this happened to me as well. but what a great game
Thanks for playing! I will try to fix it
Hey there, just a heads up! Whenever I play with WASD or Arrow Keys the game keeps moving my character for a second or so after I input. This is not an issue I have if I plug in my controller. It happens on both the Windows and Web versions!
Yeah, I already know this issue. Sorry about that. I am planning to fix it today.
Fixed it :)
