Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Dim and I have both really poured all of our energy into this one, and we're very pleased with the result. We just kept adding more and more features (more weapons, dual weapons, defenses, combos, etc) which is perhaps why it took such a long time... Still, I really do think it was all worth it.

With the help of Tom and Mike, we even added some Newgrounds Medals! There're 5 hidden in the game somewhere, each worth 100 points. Even if the medal box doesn't show up on the game's page yet, you'll still collect them if you manage to unlock any.

Evan Merz. The man is a genius! He's the one who wrote the 8 songs for the original score you'll hear as you're playing. We can't thank him enough for really adding a lot to the game's experience.

Thanks too to all the testers, you're all in the credits! Of course they'll have to complete the game again to see them...

To mark the occasion, Dim has added some AoT themed merch to the store, money grabbing charlatans that we are. Go check it out if you want to support us!

Still reading? STOP. GO PLAY.

Nice. Looks awesome, I'll play it later once I'm done with some other work. I was wondering what you guys had been doing all this time, and it seems you guys briefly disappearing was worth it.

May. 13, 2009 | 11:17 PM FrozenFire says:

Awesome!

Things I loved-
Music (Oh yes)
Characters
The whole "Time" theme. (I might approach this idea)
Gameplay - mixing arrows

Didn't like -
Repetitiveness
A few glitches
Very hard to aim, even with homing. (Spin around like 9 times)

I've played that game late last night as soon as it hit the portal. I must say, it was AWESOME!! I was one of the people who gave it 5/5 BTW. Congrats on first.

Nah, it's great.

May. 15, 2009 | 9:12 PM Twilight says:

Hmm, so you sign your name for every reply?

Cool.

The game is pretty sick and all, I can't wait to try MindChamber's controller setup to play it. But for now, it's mouse time. Does your game support controllers/joysticks?

May. 16, 2009 | 5:45 AM unsummon says:

it's spelled "charlatans", not "sharletons".

I love this game and all of the creative arrow types. I did find it kind of annoying when you kill the last enemy and the orbs don't reach the top-right corner and get uncounted. Also, sometimes when you hit a missile with a time arrow the dinosaur stretches out across the screen, obscuring the view and making it impossible to hit.

May. 25, 2009 | 6:09 AM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

they get counted.

Just friggin love this game, it all comes together so nicely, had to download the epic soundtrack and how it follows the eras like the jazz version for 1943 etc.

Heyy. Love Arrow of Time. I played and beat it on Armorgames.com, where it originally came out(I think), and am workin on it here.
I love the gamepay, music, bosses(or boss considering it was one character), and probably the whole game in general.
Just one thing though; my computer is your average computer, with the average speed and strength, but I was wondering why I have some serious lag even if I turn off the visual effects, quality to low, and disable sound effects as well?
The lag starts to get bad after I start unlocking more than half of the weapons; closer to after the free play after you beat the final boss.
Either way, awesome game.
Oh, I was wondering, could somebody possibly post all the music tracks here on NG please? Id love to download a few.
Give my remarks to the developers and composers as well.
Love the game, and good luck on further projects!
