TIME STOP

Mission briefing

Stop time. Catch the bullets. Throw them back. TIME STOP is a fast first-person arena shooter in a manga comic style. You can stop time at any moment — enemy bullets freeze in mid-air, and you can grab them and throw them back, or line up the perfect shot while the world stands still. Fight through endless arenas packed with different enemies: kamikaze bombers, riot-shield soldiers, and a mysterious Chrono Boss who is not afraid of time itself. Every arena brings random modifiers like Darkness or Jammed Guns, and after each one you choose a new perk to shape your build. What makes it unique: a JoJo-inspired time-stop mechanic, a hand-drawn manga look with comic panels and sound-effect lettering, fully procedural music, permanent upgrades from a slot-machine shop, and a global leaderboard. Available in 5 languages (English, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese). Plays on PC and mobile.

Field manual

Goal: Survive as long as you can. Clear every wave in the arena, pick a perk, then go through the exit to the next arena. Kill enemies to earn points, build combos, and climb the leaderboard. Main idea: Time stop is your main weapon. While time is stopped, bullets freeze in the air. Grab them and throw them back, or take free shots at enemies that cannot react. Time stop lasts a few seconds and recharges, so use it wisely. Controls (PC): WASD — move Mouse — look around Left Mouse Button — shoot / throw F or Right Mouse Button — stop time E — pick up weapons and bullets Q — throw the held item Controls (mobile): use the on-screen joystick to move, drag the right side of the screen to look and use the on-screen buttons to shoot, stop time and grab. Tips: Riot-shield enemies block bullets from the front, so flank them. Kamikazes must be killed from a distance. Spend your points in the Upgrades shop for permanent bonuses.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for action operations

• First run is reconnaissance. Spend it learning where the danger actually spawns from instead of chasing a score — most action games announce their patterns honestly in the opening minute, then repeat them with worse manners.
• Movement is a defensive stat. A moving target at half health outlives a stationary one at full health in nearly every game on this board, so keep relocating between shots, strikes and reloads.
• Learn the exit before the entrance closes. In arena and chase games alike, the players who survive longest are the ones who noticed the second doorway while everyone else was watching the first.
