Mountdown

An infinite runner, but with a countdown! When the timer reaches zero, it's game over! Every time you hit an obstacle, you lose five seconds.

Seek the blue orbs to gain more time. The orbs that give you five seconds are easy to get, you can either just touch them or pull them from afar. However, the orbs that give you 10 seconds are trickier! They have a countdown of their own, and you must pull them from afar only when the text is green! Otherwise, you lose time!

Game made for the GMTK Game Jam 2026, in less than 72 hours, because I found out about the jam at the last minute and I did not do anything the first 24 hours.

• A and D, or the gamepad's left analog stick to move left and right.
• Space or gamepad button 0 to jump.
• Shift or gamepad button 2 to slide.
• Z, left mouse button, or gamepad right shoulder button to collect orbs from afar.
