Description

Games that include manipulations of time as part of their gameplay, often use sound to enhance the perception of such actions. Solutions typically follow the cinematic tradition. The most common cases are reversing, fast forwarding and slow motion.

Examples

Bubble Breaker (only in some versions, including Windows Mobile): The Undo operation is accompanied by a "reversing" Sound Effect.
