Definitions for "Slowdown"
a deliberate lessening of work effort for a definite purpose and time. In motive, it is similar to strike and differs from the latter only in the degree of stoppage involved.
Programming phenomenon commonly found in shmups, in which all onscreen action slows down and/or the frame rate drops when high amounts of separate elements (i.e. enemies, bullets, etc.) appear at once. Can be used to a player's advantage by giving him more time to react to what's going on, but can seriously hamper a game's playability when found in abundance. The amount of slowdown present can be adjusted in some console shmups via the ”Wait” option. In this case, usually presented as two words ( Slow Down). An ability found in some shmups, which enables the player to deliberately slow his craft's movement speed, to assist in dodging tight and/or slow-moving bullet patterns; sometimes also changes the effect of the weapon the player is firing when in use. A few shmups also contain a built-in “slow down” function which can slow enemies and their attacks, but utilization of these is almost always considered a form of cheating.
