In the year 3030, Tim Timebow is about to throw the game-winning pass, but due to cyberbionic enhancements he throws a spiral so hard he rips a hole in the fabric of space-time! Timmy is tossed back a few thousands years, but with the help of the ghost of Billy Bullichungus (and a few performance enhancing drugs) he's gonna battle the hordes of timefighters and warp his way back to the big game just in time for the final whistle.

Pleasing graphics :thumbsup_tone1: seems polished although not that much content :video_game:

Nevermind the not that much content part.... I just didn't get to the other parts it seems :rofl:

Enjoyed the little bit of humor, but got kind of repetitive quickly. Was hoping to have some more variety between each level.

Hahah funny idea and fun to play for a bit but gets repetitive quick. Never thought I would ever see Tim Tebow beating up cavepeople though

A nice little game with cool hand drawn graphics. The humor is kinda nice, The 2020 touch was cool. The sound effects are pretty cool too. The knight saying its but a scratch while dying was funny. Although the gameplay does get a bit repetitive after a while. Fits the theme pretty well.

Reminds me of the hobo brawler flash game that I used to love as a kid. Like others have mentioned, it would be nice to spice things up as the players progress through the game somehow (adding new enemy types for instance). But overall, cool game and really creative background story too!

Great Job 🌈

I liked the How to play and the story introduction. The variety of sounds and images is great!
The gameplay felt a bit repetitive, I wanted to see more environments without having to kill so many enemies.

Thanks for the game!

Superb polishing in a short time. Controls were easy to use, and good responsiveness. I loved the "You'd better be careful with that stuff, Tim" from the Owl. It might help to have a countdown or some other kind of on-screen notice to let you know you're almost done with a wave, or if it's there, and I just didn't get to it, maybe wave 1 is too hard? Got Joust vibes, minus the flapping to ledges, of course. Great fit to the theme. Really fun for such a quick build.

I loved the idea! And I also loved the black knights references!
It's fun to play, and quick.
The intro text was just skipping to fast sometimes, I could not read it all. And the difficulty seemed to have increased a lot when guns arrived.
Music was cool and in the theme as well

Pff the Mafia guys are tough. They got me. It is a little bit slow and repetitive I guess, I wouldn't want to retry. I feel I saw the whole game, even without beating it. Maybe I missed something cool at the end.
Otherwise as far as game design I think it is a good entry. Liked your Idea/Story. You could try aim at mouse direction.

Had to turn the volume down a bit :D The style reminded me of old flash games which were very popular quite a while ago. Maybe next time I'll finally get this superb owl?

Play as the Strongest football player in history. I liked the inclusion of a little plot, simple gameplay.

I like the concept, the comments seem funny to me and I think they contribute a lot, I found it a bit difficult to deal with the enemies that shoot bullets

I had a blast beatin' up bad guys with a football! I love how you incorporated portals, and a unique plot. The dialogue felt as if it added some good depth to the game.. I thought it was hilarious when Timmy picks up the syringes and coach Bill says: "Be careful with that stuff now Timmy." xD

On the flip-side, I found myself only using the regular attack.. the range attack seems like it should do more power as it take time to draw back. I'd also say when particularly difficult enemies come about Timmy should get either a more powerful attack/football upgrade or perhaps a checkpoint system. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed your game overall, great job :)

Enjoyed the game, nice animations. Got a bit too repetitive after a while.

Great entry with some good humour. The synopsis roped me in straight up :D
I struggled with the bullet enemies and kept dying but still had fun time travelling. The future's too strong! haha

I was delighted by the sudden voiceovers in the medieval level. I didn't expect it, but then no-one expects... Well you get it.

A pretty fun entry, though the gameplay itself got a little stale eventually, but with four visually distinct levels and a ramp up in difficulty in 2020 with the gunfire I was still engaged by the end. (Which I didn't manage to pass, by the way. Guns are mean.)

I had some issues jumping when I Was up against an enemy a few times. And the range attack seemed to do very little damage - especially given that ol' Tim Timebow here can throw a ball that tears throguh time, it seemed odd that those did less damage than a melee smack.

All in all, I was entertained!

Great game! Had a lot fun eventough I hate American football. 2020 got me with the bullets and I didn't feel like doing all the previous levels again. It would be great if the game restarted on the last level.

Classic Tim, always getting into wacky situations.

Loved the premise of the game. It's hilariously goofy and over-the-top. The game itself is very basic, but it still shows some quality in its presentation, like the camera moving around when going through the portal and the comments from... well... the commentator.

There's some areas of improvement, for sure, but odds are that you can figure those out by what has been said already about the game. But hey! This is still very memorable thanks to its absurdity, which is even enhanced by the visuals. There's a lot of good here!

Not bad, not bad at all! Here's hoping you get to do more games, so keep participating in these jams! :whale:
