However, as the game progresses, the player will grow stronger and become better at controlling their time stopping ability. They will eventually be able to stop time for as long as 5 seconds, and the chance for activation the time stop ability will be increased to 90%.

The enemies will also grow stronger as the game progresses. Some will be able to move part of their body once while the time had stopped. While, some will be able to move for up to one second while time stopped.
