Time Survivor

description

---

Time Survivor is an action arena incremental game where the objective is to survive as long as possible fighting against Time itself.

You play in an arena where your life energy increasingly decays over time, and you must stay alive by dodging and killing enemies, collecting resources that restore your energy.

Every time you die in the arena, you have the opportunity to use the resources you collected to upgrade your stats and unlock new skills in an upgrade tree, making you stronger for the next trial.

The upgrade tree has four main branches:

• ECONOMY: Upgrades that enhance the farming aspect of the game, such as increasing the value of resources you collect or the number of drops from enemies.
  But be careful—these upgrades also buff the enemies! Don't be too greedy.

• MOVEMENT: Upgrades that increase your speed and improve your movement around the map, fundamental for dodging enemies and reaching resources faster.

• ENERGY: Upgrades that increase your life energy, give you armor, enhance the energy recovered from energy orbs, and so on.

• COMBAT: Upgrades that expand your offensive arsenal, giving you the option to fight back and effectively become a predator instead of prey.

The longer you survive during a trial, the more the difficulty increases.

Will you be able to beat the game faster than everyone else?
