Time Slow

Description

Slows the speed throughout the game, maybe not useful in most stages, but it can help in fast stages.

The current power-up. Note how a ball is used as the pin for the clock hands.

An older icon seen in version 0.1. The clock is made slightly different, more like a stopwatch.

Time Slow, along with Ball Frenzy and Explosive Ball in 0.8.0.

Appearances

Checkpoint	Stage	Notes
2	4	In Version 0.9.0, in stage 4, where two Infinite Balls should be, there are also two time slows.
3	4 part 1	Debuts here. Useful for taking down Falling Glass Planks. In Version 0.9.0.
4 (In-game and in Smash Hit Gameplay)	1 and 2 (Smash Hit Gameplay)	Useful to smash the Spinning glass fans or Swinging Hammers or Pop Up/Down Glass Panes
5	3	Not very useful - the stage is not that slow. In Version 0.9.0.
8	3	Not very useful - it would have been better placed in the beginning (like the Explosive Ball), rather than at the end! (unless used for Checkpoint 9)
10	2	Ideally, use it in the middle, to break the pyramids in the middle of the stage. (Alternatively, just toss balls randomly.) A stash of Time Slows (from previous checkpoints) is highly reccommended to be kept in this stage. Use them for the beginning, middle, and end if nessecary (for less experienced players)
Endless Mode		Ideally used the harder parts of the checkpoint (with red and yellow colours). This goes quite fast.
Slomo Test		They're practically everywhere. It was made for this Power-up. One at the beginning (stopped by the Stop Glitch, and possibly unlikely to be reached, unless with a very far ball throw) A bunch of Time Slow Power Ups

Glitches

It can cause it to go very-slightly backwards (like the Stop Glitch) in slow stages (if the music is turned off from the options, again like the Stop Glitch.).

Changes

At one point, Mediocre expressed interest in removing the power-up:

How do you like the powerups? Would anyone mind if we replaced the slow motion one? Any suggestions for new ones? :)

This never happened.

• An early version of the Time Slow Power Ups was found in Version 0.1, where the clock had a slightly different design (like a stopwatch) and looked something like a Granny Smith or Sprinkle Islands Power Up.
• In one of NewBartoszx1's mods, the Time Slow appeared instead of the Infinite Balls at the start of Checkpoint 11, and Checkpoint 9 as well.

Trivia

• The internal names of this Power Up are "slowmotion" and "slomo".
• The Time Slow has unused sound. It was activated to add ambience when it was in effect. Listen to it here:
  • There is still a noticeable change in the music and sounds of glass breaking, as well as balls hitting stone surfaces, when the power-up is in effect.
