Old-school throwbacks have been en vogue for several years now, so it's always refreshing to play a retro-inspired game whose claim to fame isn't "I look like I belong on the NES!" but rather "look at the new ideas I bring to the table!" Super Time Force is one such game, a nostalgia-infused side-scrolling shooter imbued with a fresh, inspired mechanic. Then again, while that mechanic is novel, it doesn't always play out quite as planned.
Super Time Force isn't only about shooting bad guys, but about manipulating the very fabric of spacetime. You're given 30 lives per stage and are ultimately encouraged to die, die, and die again, because here, lives simply aren't that precious. What's more important is speed. You only have 60 seconds to get through each level, and maximizing not only time spent -- but lives used -- is the name of the game. You simply can't play Super Time Force in a conventional way. You really need to use your noggin, something about the experience of playing it that I adored.
