Time Crystal

This game was created in exactly three hours by our three person team (12-year-old twins and their dad)!  It was submitted for TriJam #121.

For this, our third TriJam entry, we strove to be more rigorous about the time limit, and we emphasized playability.  We simplified the game design to leave time for play testing and making it fun.  

The theme for the TriJam is "Exploring Spacetime,"  We started with the timeless Astroids control scheme, which we have prior experience coding.  Everyone loves bouncing off the walls in space, so we added that.  (Wall bouncing was inspired by an old game for the Commodore VIC 20 called Omega Race.).   We needed a time mechanic and considered some way to go back in time.  But freezing time was easier!
