Retimed (v1.20.2)

Every close call becomes a split-second duel in this colourful local multiplayer shooter, where survival depends less on twitch reflexes than on reading danger before it arrives. Retimed turns the familiar arena deathmatch into a game of controlled panic: whenever a character faces an imminent threat, a personal slow-motion bubble forms around them. Bullets crawl through the air, opponents keep moving at normal speed outside the bubble, and a lethal ambush can suddenly become an acrobatic escape. The result is energetic and playful rather than grim, with quick rounds that reward laughter, revenge, and spectacular last-second dodges.

Matches support one to four players and focus on compact arena battles where everyone hunts for weapons, lines up shots, and tries to avoid being caught in a bad position. The key loop is simple to learn: move, grab a gun, fire, and use the slowdown effect to weave around incoming projectiles or reverse a seemingly certain defeat. Different weapons change the rhythm of each encounter, encouraging players to consider projectile speed, angles, cover, and the timing of an opponent’s time bubble instead of simply spraying the arena. Rounds move quickly, making it easy to rotate players, run informal tournaments, or settle into a long couch-competitive session without much downtime.

Its signature slow-motion system gives Retimed a distinctive identity among local arena shooters. Rather than slowing the entire match, the bubble creates asymmetrical pockets of time that force both attacker and target to improvise in real time, producing dramatic near misses that are easy for spectators to follow. The clean, bright presentation keeps the action readable even when several players and projectiles crowd the screen, while the straightforward controls make it accessible for newcomers. Fans of TowerFall, Duck Game, or other chaotic couch multiplayer staples should find plenty to enjoy, especially if they want a shooter where clever reactions matter as much as aim.
