9/10 definitely recommended!

Time Wasters is an interesting take on the swarm survivor genre. You pilot a space ship, choosing one of 11 captains with very different abilities. As you battle, you have planets where you can collect bonuses which occasionally require defending against attackers. As you level up, you can collect up to three more abilities, and can add the respective captains to your ship to boost their weapons.

When you complete any mission and get the victory over the final boss, you can choose to continue your run in endless mode and see how far you can get which is a fun challenge.

The graphics style is unique and well done, and the variety of weapons makes for a fun game.

Each of the captains have their own unique weapons that are very different, and it makes for a good challenge to work out which weapons to take into a particular mission, or to just play the regular survival with your desired loadout. They also each have their own unique missions which are very well designed on unique maps and add a lot of value to the game.

The problem I mentioned in my previous review with nerfs and 2 hour boss battles seems to be fixed and
the game now has a good balance, and although the grind for meta upgrades can still be somewhat tedious, the collection rate has improved.

All in all, a great game.
