Super Time Force - Sloooowww Motion Trailer

Illustrating the difference between this and other Contra-esque side-scrolling shooters, the trailer shows what happens when you shoot a Time Shard. Slow Motion.

Whereas you have to usually dodge with the kind of reflexes only Tibetan Monks with ninja training to avoid damage, Super Time Force gives you an out. By shooting one of three Time Shards in every level, you slow everything down except yourself, giving you the edge to dodge bullets and ensure yours count.

This has been developed in lovely sprite graphics by Capy Games, whose previous titles include the Xbox Live and PSN game Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes among others.

It is due out for Xbox 360 and Xbox One on 14th May.
