time sweepers On-Screen Info
Retry Counter
If your health falls to zero and you have gathered three Retry Hearts,
you can try again to overcome the threat. The small lights show how
many Retry Hearts you have collected (you need three Hearts to get
a Retry). The large lights are hearts in Retry containers. They show
how many Retrys you have.
Your Health
This indicator shows your current health.
Taking hits from enemies or falling into
traps decreases your health; getting a
carton of milk (or a piece of meat stolen
from the Tom Toms) restores it.
Elapsed Time
This is the amount of time spent sweeping
the current level. The faster you clear an
area, the greater your reward.
Enemy Radar
The radar shows you how close enemies are,
and the direction they’re moving. Enemies
shown in red are Tom Toms. Enemies shown
in yellow are time monsters.
Enemy Indicator
This indicator appears when enemies are nearby. If it is orange, the
enemy knows you are there. If it is yellow, the enemy is not aware
of your presence.
Enemy Health
This shows the health of the enemy you are facing.
If you hit the enemy, its health decreases.
Targeting Reticle
You could just blast away without
aiming, but using this device to
lock on to targets before you shoot
will greatly increase your accuracy.
To use it, face the enemy, then pull
and hold the Left trigger to display
the reticle. When the reticle turns
red, tap the Right trigger to fire.
Sweeper Model
This is the model number of the
sweeper you are using. If you are
successful, you can buy a more
powerful model and do even more
with it. Some models hold more
and larger objects you can sweep
up and shoot at enemies. Some can
only sweep up certain kinds of time
crystals, while others allow you to
store more Time Controls.
Maximum Trash Amount
Different sweeper models have different
capacities. This is the maximum number
of objects your sweeper can pick up.
Current Trash
The number of items
you have picked up
with your sweeper,
which are available to
shoot at enemies.
Time Controls
Use these controls to
change the flow of time. If
you have gathered enough
time crystals, use the D-pad
to select the Time Control
you want (PAUSE, REWIND,
FF, etc.), then press
to
activate the control.
NOTE
Not sure what you should be doing
to get ahead in the game? Press
START
to get a reminder about your
current objective—defeating Tom
Toms, getting batteries, etc. Pressing
here will display the map, and
pressing
will allow you to modify
game options.
