Downcounter
(fullscreen encouraged)
Time is your tool, set your count downs and begin!
Before each level begins, you can adjust the countdown on certain platforms to change when they will move; this can range anywhere from a block that moves out of the way, to multiple timed platforms chained in sequence to get you to the finish. You must reach the checkered flag before time runs out!
Made for GMTK Game Jam 2026 (theme: Count Down)
This is my first game jam. Very open to critique and I hope it's enjoyed.
How to play
W - Jump
A/D - Left/Right
- Hover your mouse over a glowing platform, scroll up/down to set its timer
- Spend your seconds pool mindfully - every second wasted takes away from your completion stars!
- Hit BEGIN, then move/jump to the flag before time runs out

Big bump!
Simple but satisfying loop, love it already :)
I like the puzzle, but I sometimes with the solid platforms were. Since, sometimes it felt like I lost a level because of missing a jump, not because I mistimed any of the platforms.
Also really good menu music.
Thank you for your feedback! I am glad to hear you enjoyed the puzzle and music never the less.
Nice puzzle game, creative puzzles. Cool mechanic
Thank you 😁😁
