Thank you so much for playing my game! This was a project made in 4 days for the GMTK 2026 Game Jam, which had the theme "Countdown". I worked alone on this jam, and made the game entirely in PICO-8. This was my first time working extensively with the engine. I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed making it! I've enjoyed designing with this idea so I may revisit it and clean up the levels, add some more, and finalize it in the future. Please let me know any feedback you may have, and thanks again for playing!
