Time Wasters

Time Wasters is set in space, where Time and Space Cubes are artifacts said to let their owners manipulate time and space. You pilot a ship through waves of enemies, collect Gold to unlock upgrades and destroy Elites as quickly as possible.

Change time and space

Time Cubes let you alter the Timeline: reroll available choices or compress time to gain multiple upgrades instantly in the Time Cube Shop. Space Cubes let you change the game’s space, starting a run with Outposts already developed and Captains already upgraded. Collecting Space Cubes also provides meta-progression.

Upgrade your ship

Captains specialize in upgradable primary weapons that can become Super Weapons. They also unlock support upgrades for their ships, and each Captain has a unique Loyalty Challenge. Weapons fire automatically, but you can choose to aim them manually. Ship movement is fast-paced and can be improved with boost upgrades.

Outposts and modes

You can unlock, establish and protect Outposts, which provide bonuses. The game includes waves of enemies that last 10 seconds, with Elites to defeat, as well as Endless Mode.
