Отзывы пользователей
Haven't been playing long, but I love it, the stages, the Captains, the skills and attacks, there's so many variations that you can't get tired, you don't just play the same thing over and over again, 10/10 would recommend
WARNING: THIS GAME IS ADDICTING
Purchased based off of enjoying their previous titles before seeing the AI art notice on the store page. I asked them to consider replacing it with real art, either when they get the resources or by asking the community, as it would be good for raising good will. The developer responded passive aggressively and refused the possibility of updating the game regardless of success, so I don't feel able to recommend the game.
Hopefully someone else does a good twinstick bullet heaven, it really is a good idea.
Great game.
Simple yet addictive gameplay - lot´s of fun
I'd give this game a neutral score if I could. It shows a lot of promise but the lack of variety in both level design, layout, and items just makes every playthrough follow a distinct pattern. It's also obvious that some weapons are a lot better than others and it's even more obvious when going through each character's solo challenge.
Overall, I'd only recommend on a sale.
AI slop.
The runs are completely predictable with identical level layouts and enemy placement every time. While there are different weapons available, they don't add much variety and you'll likely stick to the same proven loadout repeatedly.
The core concept shows promise, but the lack of variety holds it back. The gameplay becomes repetitive and boring after just a few hours. All achievements are easy to obtain, thats a plus i would say.
Bottom line: Worth considering during a sale, but wouldn't recommend it at full price.
The name is right, this is a time wasters, but a really good one. Waifus, big numbers on the screen and lots of big powers, what more a person can ask?
A mighty fine TIME WASTER 10/10!
Time Wasters turned out to be an immensely satisfying surprise hit for me with its balanced pacing, lively aesthetics and responsive controls.
The starting captain defines the ship's main weapon and support characteristics. Amass gold from destroyed enemies to earn one of 3 random upgrades on level up. Hire additional crew and install weapon upgrades to fill all slots that complete each build.
Visit the store to spend secured time cubes on more advanced upgrades. Prioritize selections with complementary powers to maximize arsenal and defenses — while there are no truly bad combinations some really do work immensely better than others.
Salvaged space cubes enable permanent upgrades for the same upgrade paths. They make subsequent runs easier without having to level them up from scratch each time, but don't alter abilities.
Outposts provide various instantaneous boosts (damage, repair, gold, etc.) Most recharge on timers, others remain constantly active when in range. After each main boss fight, an outpost will typically come under attack, and failing to defend it removes its benefits for the rest of the match.
Completing the main campaign with each character unlocks their solo mission, challenging a single pilot to replay the same 120 waves without weapon mix ups or help from additional captains. This in turn unlocks their unique loyalty mission, altering gameplay drastically with variations that include a tower defense setup, a concert in space, cities to defend, planets to colonize, a pinball machine, rescue mission, etc.
Certain solo or loyalty missions can be more challenging but once captains receive enough upgrades the game tends to become very easy. To end a round, enemies swarm up and clamp around the player to block off any way out. Projectile damage is minimal. Through progression, enemies don't really get much stronger, they mostly become faster and more numerous.
Beating the final boss leads to the optional endless mode that replays enemy waves in enhanced form. Not everything scales linearly. Bosses in particular become ridiculously easy to beat with upgraded ships — some can be destroyed in just a few seconds, occasionally before they even enter the screen! Good to loot more space cubes for permanent upgrades but these become tiring since they can literally run for hours.
Positive
- Swift and highly maneuverable controls
- Colorful vector-like visuals and smooth animations
- Plenty of VFX with insane amount of particles on screen
- Switch between auto and manual aim on the fly
- Auto aim simplifies interactions while suitable for most occasions
- Good selection of complementary weapons and support systems
- Great pace, not too fast, not too slow
- Fair difficulty with good progression
- Near flawless performance (even on older hardware)
- Relies heavily on audio cues to communicate vital information (shields depleting, taking core damage, etc.)
- Clean and very effective UI
- Enemy ships fill up and change color as their health declines
- Select upgrades at opportune moments (no imposed popup at each level up)
- Plays great on gamepad (KBM also supported)
- Very decently priced
- Plenty of content when completing all challenge varieties, otherwise a bit skim
Negative
- Enemies have limited behavioral range, will mostly swarm the player
- Majority of original content locked behind repetitive playthroughs
- Some levels do not provide space cubes and thus no progression
- Permanent upgrades don't alter or improve abilities and only act as upgrade shortcuts
- Irrelevant title name (outside insistent use of "Time" across developer's catalogue)
[*] AI-generated character portraits, a blunder that tarnishes the developer’s moral compass more than the quality of the game
Engaging gameplay within the bullet heaven genre mixing asteroids with mining detail. A big tip is to upgrade your gold outpost early as it lets you get way more levels.
Requires a little too much grinding to unlock the bonus levels for each character, and 4 of the character's loadouts are kind of crap. Other than that, it is satisfying to run around the map as your ship shoots at things. Would only recommend on sale, at around $3 or less.
it's kind of a grind in the beginning but later on it'll be a nice balance of bullet hell and bullet heaven
Addictive game with the exact same level becomes boring after a while. Not even the location of the planets are randomized. So have you gone though the level once you know how it will be the next runs.
Initially it looked promising, but with a few hours down the line you understand that its nothing like what you are expecting.
The scaling is just awful, its listed as a bullet hell, but theres barely any enemy bullets in the game. The progression just ramps up the enemy HP and increases their knockback resistance untill they basically kamikaze swarm you. This isnt bullet hell, they are just mindlessly ramming towards you.
From there "endless progress" is basically you maze running away from them, so the only viable options are weapons/crew with pushback and slow. Since we are talking about weapons/crew, the balance is just non existent. Some or useless in any stage of the game, others become viable at some point, but suffer dreadful early game, which leaves you with more or less half of them. Since you have to pick 4, the options for any progress are minimal.
I rarely drop a game before unlocking all of the content (or commenting one for that matter), but the final nail was a bug that basically shuts down your ship in place after using your booster, stopping it from filling back up.
a pretty active vamp-surv-alike that keeps you busy by giving you a few different stations to dart between. i was little mixed on it until i got the boxing gloves weapon, which are easily one of the funniest weapons i have used in a game like this.
This is Vampire Survivors, but in space. A great game visually and the overall game play is fun. I recommend this to...well...waste time.
This game is good.
Pros
* Tons of fun!
* Nice graphics - Has visual clarity
* Solid gameplay - Enemies and ship feel they're both the right speed for a fair challenge
Cons
* Early runs felt a little under powered until you could grind out more permanent upgrades. Doesn't feel good to have a run end because your ship isn't powerful enough to break through a wall of enemies. Also doesn't feel good if that run gives you nothing to help with the next.
* Like all games in this genre, balance of weapons is off
* Decision fatigue. You need to decide on 70+ upgrades during the course of a run, so each individual upgrade feels very minor. (Most games in this genre have this issue)
Neutral
* I never felt super overpowered. If you're looking for builds that can absolutely break the game, you'll probably want to look elsewhere
Time Wasters is another survivors-like that has enough unique characteristics to distinguish itself from many others in the genre.
You can play as a variety of pilots, each with a specialized weapon as well as access to power-ups unique to that pilot. You can also choose up to three of the other pilots to serve as co-pilots, allowing you to upgrade to super versions of their weapons and giving you access to their power-ups. While in the early game you can mix and match weapons and do well with pretty much any combination, later challenges require a more strategic selection of both weapons and power-ups.
One unique mechanic is that the environment includes several stations with their own helpful features (like giving you a money boost or causing an explosion that can wipe out many enemies), each with their own cooldown, encouraging you to keep moving to maximize their benefits. These stations can also be powered up, adding another layer of strategy.
After beating a regular run with a pilot, you unlock a "solo" mode where you don't have access to any other weapons besides that pilot's default. Beat "solo" mode and you unlock a unique "challenge" mode for each pilot. These are the most difficult parts of the game, but they are also the most interesting as they offer unique maps and mechanics that feel quite different from regular gameplay. This is where strategy becomes much more important, as many of these challenges can't be beaten by improvising and require a plan. It was quite satisfying to beat them all.
Time Wasters is a fun and engaging game with a good sense of progression and enough variety to keep me coming back until I had gotten all the achievements. Recommended.
Good little innovation on the bullet haven formula, Rapid movement and zone control adds some actual strategy.

GOOD
7/10
Decent rogue-lite, space setting is a bit unique. Good amount of content for price and some nice challenges, that aren't just grind mobs. Art style is clear and game play is very smooth. Recommended to all rogue-lite fans.
gud gaim
Can it be considered time wasted if you had fun? The game is what it appears to be, and it's fun. Nice weapon variety. I also like the idea of zones that spawn helpful items.
What I have to do to get my "native controller" to work every time I play is completely unacceptable. A simple patch would fix this laborious annoyance, among others. Thumbs down until I can play without menu diving steam configs ontill one works - BECAUSE it is up to debate when, how, and what will work, while docked on tv or on deck, xbox, pad, or , wasd.... SURE DID select, deselect, dashboard, reapply till it works... fix this mess.
Some poor weapons and weak meta progression. Cool concept, could be better executed.
i, ruler of earth approve this game for the masses
fast, steamline, beautiful space survivor game
cool
AI generated content
Although I may not have much playtime in yet. I can see myself sinking a ton of hours into the game. It takes a little bit of a different approach to traditional survivor games. And that's definitely not a bad thing when done right, like this game is.
It's the known loop of upgrading abilities to find the most OP stuff. As a change, there are places where periodically boosts spawn (XP boost, global meta resource spawn, round specific meta resource) or a weapons platform that supports you. So you loop around the battlefield.
It's a fun little time waster indedd.
A nice little Shoot em Up.
What you get apart from the typical formula:
- You can aim manually
- Theres Outposts you can buff too, which provides some more depth and fun. Theres one that gives you upgrades, one that gives you a Magnet (Cooldown), one that increases EXP Orbs and one that has turrets shooting enemies.
- A "hostile" vessel that collects your EXP Orbs so you dont get them, but if you kill it it drops them bundled and with a multiplier, adding a fun strategy to give up on early buffs but get more the longer you wait.
Other than that, you get typical but really good and fun Shoot Em Up Space Gameplay.
Weapons range from projectiles and rockets, to swarm Ships or Acid Goo.
You can also ram enemies to death, theres shield and life, which allows for some tank gameplay too.
I say, for the price offered, its an easy recommendation, even if you are already a bit exhaused by the "Survivors-likes" (Shoot em Ups) that are around.
This is one of the better ones with enough fresh ideas to keep it interesting while also being "conservative" enough to not be too different from similar games.
What i wished this had, was coop.
If the dev reads this and has any plans, dude make a sequel with some more captains and Outposts plus Coop and its an instant classic.
Negatives:
- i really really hate the Japano style for the characters. Looks generic and also a bit dumb. But thats taste.
This game's name is very missleading. The time I spend playing it doesn't feel wasted at all !
Does this game use AI art? As much as AI art is often misdiagnosed, that's definitely the case here. Some of the character portraits and some other assets too suffer from notorious (nowadays/2024) low to mid-tier AI diffusion issues. Like what are Ram's face/gloves even?
Am I mad about this? Honestly, not at all. Sure, the game could use the tender touch of any kind of proper artist, be it a "real" artist doing manual touchups on the assets provided, or just some better prompt/model/img2img work. But the portraits are good enough for their functional associations to upgrade paths.
At the end of the day it's a good game with very solid mechanics, no real bugs in my playtime (you should not be able to accidentally banish the last upgrade, but I hardly have a single other actual qualm that comes to mind) and that is all around optimized and polished decently.
Many of the additional character challenges are properly tailored to the character in question, such as the AoE field guy being unable to move or Luna (which is the only one that actually has a very mild venture into some story and dialogue) making use of mission special assets and a location change for basically a different type of final boss.
There's quite a bit of meat on the bone for the modest asking price too. It's not game of the year, but it definitely succeeds at what it tries to succeed at. Being a fun survivors type game (which you can play while listening to something else for instance)and being a good amount of challenging without any undue frustration baked into the cake.
fast, steamline, beautiful space survivor game
This game is actually alot of fun and quite the challenge. Worth picking up. I find myself coming back to this title all of the time.
AI Generated "Art" is used for the characters.
Meta progression doesn't feel very impactful, in part due to the meta progression currency being RNG. You get stuck on certain waves where difficulty spikes due to the introduction of new types of stronger enemies. Some weapons are not well balanced and are effectively useless, such as Fireball. Many conditions for unlocking new weapons and characters are tied to RNG, as you may not get the specific upgrades that you need during a run to complete the condition.
Planets and stations that give boosts if you get into their orbit are a cool idea.
The loot bug ship that steals dropped gold that you need to hunt down to get the gold back is also neat.
Time Wasters lets you waste your time on it.
You have buttons for Quick upgrade but none for Reroll. If you want to reroll you have to waste a few more seconds.
good for Time Wasting.
-=Recommended=-
Yes.
like if you think I'm gay
it honestly, simple and enjoyable.
Just like the game says. 'Time Wasters"
You want to simple game to waste your time to speed up time in life by a bit. Here it is.
It so enjoyable, that it worth achievement grind.
Time well wasted.
This is a good game. Pretty colors and such make the clock go away...maybe even the calendar. Good movement through the void.
Is okay.
Can't wait to waste more time
I'd give it an 80% to 85%. It doesn't have the replay-ability of Vampire Survivors. The enemies are repetitive. The weapons are interesting. Graphics are good but cartoony and colourful. you have one map for a while. There are not many levels like in the other games.
I'd say it's worth 5 bucks though.
Bye gimme an award.
