Use of the limitation
In Time Loot, the player is a thief (stealing koalas and other random items alongside jewels) who tries to collect as much loot as possible in an indeterminate amount of time. I say indeterminate because you have full control over the timer, but involuntarily, you also control the size of the objects. In short, you are your own worst enemy, but at the same time, your own best friend (for example, if you reset the timer to 15 every 5 seconds, the sizes stay perfect, the time never runs out, and you can achieve the highest score possible!).

Ty so much! We are glad you liked the game :D i’ll try your game as soon as possible!
Thank you so much, I'm the "artist" and I'm very happy to read this :)
The SFX is nice and I like the art, but its kinda missing that urgency you want in a game like this. You really can just keep going forever. Maybe make the size control thing an item, like rather than typing in your time, you find a +5 item. Or maybe it's a separate minigame to increase time. Those ideas aren't the best, sorry. I just think some kind of resource management of time is necessary. Still, it's fun to put things in the bag and I like the physics interactions. The game is good and it has potential to be even better!
ty so much for the detailed feedback! I’m glad you liked the SFX, art, and physics. You’re totally right about the lack of urgency, adding resource management or finding items to change the time are great ideas for a future version. Thanks for playing! :
I couldn’t rate the game because it isn’t playable on a 1920x1200px screen; the entire UI is off-screen whether I’m in fullscreen or not.
Hi! Sorry to hear you couldn’t play it. I will upload a downloadable Windows version as soon as possible! EDIT: Just uploaded, tell me if you need a linux version :)
I like the simple game idea to collect stuff.. But, I didn't really see the theme and limitation somewhere.. D:
Hi! The theme is that you control time, and the limitation is that by controlling time you work against yourself, making the items bigger or smaller depending on the time you select! :)
Collecting stuff was fun, but I didnt quite understand how to controll time and the size of things like you said
Thanks for the feedback! To control time, just click on the timer and enter the number. As for the size, that is determined by the timer. So if you set 100 seconds, the items become huge, if you set 1 second, they become small! :)
