- TIME COWBOY Update v1.3a - 12 October 2025
Welcome back partner.Turns out the game isn't a 11/10 perfect masterpiece like I thought it was, but nothing a couple more Quality of Life Additions, Balance Tweaks and Bug Fixes can't fix.View Last RankYou can now view the last rank you've received in a level and if you've HOW.'ed with Tab,should be helpful with gaining PERFECT! on levels without needing to constantly visit the level select now.Level Select PreviewsOne aspect of the game I keep on forgetting on adding is the Preview you get of the level on the Level Select screen.This is mainly as it's not often I go through the titlescreen to select a level or spend much time on the titlescreen to really notice.Basically Era 1 + 2 along with the secret levels now have proper previews.Apologies for the delay on them.Though, I think you may like Era 2's more "unique" previews. Achievement ListHuh? But, Steam already has an Achievement L…

Setting an Enemy on fire will spread nearby Enemies on fire, which can set other Enemies nearby on fire, which can even set other Enemies nearby on fire, which can- I think you get the point, hit enemy -> fire spread to others New AchievementsTIME COWBOY is pretty conser…
- Era 3 Now in Development! - 13 September 2025
Hey there! Been a while, mainly due to me taking a short break after releasing Era 2. But recently I have begun developing Era 3, so in return here is a sneak peek of the first level. I'm planning for this Era to be more atmospheric like Era 2, but also contain the open arenas from Era 1, while also pushing the story forward more directly rather than the background storytelling of the first two eras. Of course, I'm not going to dump 10 minutes of text or cutscenes at you, this is a fast-paced FPS and not even my attention span lasts that long. Expect more voice work and maybe one or two cutscenes before certain levels (not Boss ones). Either way, Thank you for Reading and Playing TIME COWBOY!
