Set timeScale Physics to make objects slowdown

Phaser 3

How to make all physics object slow moving (slowdown)?

this.physics.world.timeScale = 0.5;

I already try code above, but the movement get faster, if i set more than 1, nothing affected.

without code it’s hard to tell, but maybe this thread will help?

I use this thread as my reference, but it’s not working as i expected.

My code to add physics object

function add_enemy(life, type){
    	stage.enemys++;
    	enemy_id++;
    	let scale = Math.floor(Math.random()*3)+1;
    	let o = self.physics.add.sprite(360,-200,'enemy'+type);
    	enemys.add(o);
		o.setCircle(80, 70,70);
    	o.setScale(1/scale);
    	o.scale = 1/scale;
	    o.enemy = true;
		o.setCollideWorldBounds(true);
		o.setBounce(1,1);
		o.life = life;
		o.def_life = life;
    	o.setTint(get_color(o.life));
		o.id = enemy_id;
		o.rotate = 0;
		o.rotate_min = (Math.random()*4)-3;
		let angle = BetweenPoints(enemys, {x: 100, y: 700});
		velocityFromRotation(angle, 100, velocity);
	    o.setVelocity(Phaser.Math.Between(-100, 150), Phaser.Math.Between(70, 250));
	    o.txt = self.add.text(o.x, o.y, get_decimal(o.life), {fontFamily: 'impact', fontSize: 65, align: 'center', color: '#fff'});
	    o.txt.setOrigin(0.5);
	    o.txt.setScale(1/scale);
	    _update(o);
    }

Another configuration

this.physics.world.checkCollision.up = false;
	this.physics.world.checkCollision.down = false;
	this.physics.world.on('worldbounds', onWorldBounds);
	this.physics.add.overlap(enemys, bullets, collision);
	this.physics.add.overlap(powerups, ship, get_powerup);

Thanks

I am facing this issue as well. I am trying to create a slowmo effect throughout my game (written with phaser 3). I tried it with scene.physics.world.timeScale = 0.1. The game went faster. I dont know if I am using the feature wrong or if its a bug. Do tell me if you figured out how to achieve slowmo.
Thanks.

Update:
Making the values greater than 1 is making time slower. I tried it as scene.physics.world.timeScale = 2 and the time slowed down. Hope it helps.
