About

Sine Mora is a Latin expression meaning “without delay.” The setting of this shoot 'em up game is described as “style-inspired dieselpunk.”

Plot

There are two plots in the game, developing at different points in time.

The first story is about a father who avenges the Empire for his son. His son, a bomber pilot, was executed by the Empire because he refused to drop a nuclear bomb during the Enkies attack.

The second story is about the last survivors of the Enkie race, who also plan to take revenge on the Empire for the fact that the Empire destroyed them.

Both plots of the game often develop in the same locations, but the differences between the situation in these places are very significant, because the events of different plots occur at completely different times.

Everything happens on the planet Seol, which is very hike to Earth. However, the crust of this planet is very unstable, and this is the cause of the constant earthquakes. The landscape of the planet is very variable, its geography changes significantly over very short periods of time.

By the time the game starts on the planet, two main factions compete: the aggressive Empire, ruled by the dictator, and the kingdom of Atarak, inhabited by the Enkie race.

The Enkie race follows the teachings of the great prophet Enkie and is able to manage time. They can carry themselves and any object at any time past or future.

The empire does not know how to manage time, but it is developing a machine that can do it. This machine will be able to accelerate the individual time of any object or living being, in order to bring it to the end of its existence, erasing, as soon as possible.

Gameplay

The player controls the aircraft, the main weapon of which can be upgraded. The main weapon can be used without limitation. There is also a secondary weapon. It is more powerful, but its use is limited.

The player's performance is estimated by the sum of the indicators: the destruction of enemies, the damage received, collected powerups (shielding, extra time, and upgraded weapon).

Destruction of enemies with the primary weapon will increase the game's score multiplier, while use of the secondary weapon or time manipulation will reset the multiplier.

The game has four difficulties: normal, challenging, hard and insane.

Game modes are: Story, Arcade, Score Attack, and Boss Training.

Instead of health, a player’s state is measured by time. At the beginning of each level, the player receives a certain amount of time. This time can be reduced (accelerated) due to the actions of enemies, and the destruction of enemies, on the contrary, increases, stretches time.

Sine Mora EX reviews and comments

I really enjoyed the art style of the game and it's design. I'm not a huge SHUMP fan, there are a few I really like, but the time mechanic on this was just a little too annoying for me. If the checkpointing was better I think it wouldn't have been as bad but I don't like doing the same thing over and over just because of a time limit. It is not a bad game though and I really would love to see more games with this exaggerated and colorful art style.

For me the ideal in this regard-Jets'n'Guns and Steredenn. There is a good such a engraver, but for a side-scroller with pieces of bullet hella not clear control and often fig understand that in the foreground, and what is a backdoor. The Music and the Ugar were not brought. And the Japanese, in a bad sense of the word-not kurezi, as in Bayonette, not a cozy hunt with the stupid Cotanami as in monhane, and anthropomorphic animals making each other genocide in half-fentezi halfizelpanke blah-blah-blah

Ingenious Sidesroller. Visually appealing and optimal Level Of difficulty for the Evening without undertaxing. I cannot comprehend a Criticism of the Fact that you have to collect Powerup again after a Collision, nor does the Game become unfair at any Point. Got it through in 5h and consumed some Credit, so it could have been a little longer but still buy. Have REVOLVER 360 RE: ACTOR and Jets n Guns Gold in the Library and prefer this here. Revolver is quite spun and thrilled because of it, but it is also quite inaccessible. For Jets n G, the high Degree of Difficulty demotivates. But next To my clear No 2: Savior is Top Down Scroller Space Arcade Shooting Retro Pixel Game.

Don't thrust the reviews overview on the shop site this game is just excellent and a great Shmup for all lovers and hc shot'em'up player a must have. The EX version is even better with complete storyline and menues localized The grafics are state of the art for such a kind of game, a lot of ambiente animations and effects wich makes the whole game a amazing experience, Sound is also good even if it has its very own style the tracks fits the levels very nicely, same for sfx wich hits the nails head just perfect Replayability is naturaly given for such kind of games (some new born minds would call it repeating but may they should just learn whats the core of a real shot'em'up) Fun for hours wi th different game modes even hardcore players will have something to do 9.9/10

Sine Mora includes everything I expect from a Horizontal Crinist. Excellent Graphics, good Playability, varied level design And perfect Control (X-Box Controller). The Story around the Game I confidently threw into the Bin As it's not important. The Menus are translated into German, as well as the Story (if you Are Interested in them). What awaits you is a great Challenge to your Joystick Skills. You fly from Left to Right. But Dives into the background of the Image every now and then. That's right, really great done. An Eyeful like I've never seen a "Shooter." I have no Desire to describe this Game for a long time. It's just a Ball Game! Moves in the highest Class though! Looking for a Shooter? Do you Value good Graphics? Is good Control important to you? Do you Want a hellishly cursed and well-wished "upgrade system" for your Pixel Combat Ship? If you can answer "Yes" to all Questions; Then ripe too!! With "Sine Mora" You have found what you are looking for!
