Timing-Based Combat — CTR
Some weapons feature a timing-based mechanic: hitting the right moment empowers your shots, while missing it can cause your weapon to jam.
This system adds rhythm and decision-making to combat, rewarding precision and making each encounter more engaging.

The game is divided into multiple worlds, each made of several levels including standard stages, boss fights and special sequences.
Levels include checkpoints, enemies, collectibles, upgrades and hidden secrets that expand the world and its story.
