+## Time Scale
+
+In many games it is often desirable to create  slow-motion or fast-forward effects based on some in
+game events. A very common approach to achieve these results is to manipulate the in game time or
+tick rate.
+
+To make this manipulation easier, Flame provides a `HasTimeScale` mixin. This mixin can be attached
+to any Flame `Component` and exposes a simple get/set API for `timeScale`. The default value of
+`timeScale` is `1`, implying in-game time of the component is running at the same speed as real life
+time. Setting it to `2` will make the component tick twice as fast and setting it to `0.5` will make
+it tick at half the speed as compared to real life time.
+
+Since `FlameGame` is a `Component` too, this mixin can be attached to the `FlameGame` as well. Doing
+so will allow controlling time scale for all the component of the game from a single place.
