How does your game fit the theme?
The theme is Count Down, and in my game the countdown is represented by a limited number of letter deletions available in each level. Every time you delete a letter, your remaining deletions count down by one. Since deleting a single letter can erase multiple objects at once, each deletion is a meaningful decision rather than just spending a resource. The challenge is to carefully plan your countdown, balancing puzzle-solving with the risk of permanently changing the world. Run out of deletions beforeescaping, and you'll have to start over.

Love the concept and the art style is really nice too! This needs more levels after the jam's done!

This is so cool, I was so sad when it ended. If you make more levels after this game jam period please update the game, I want more!
Just FYI, the project was built in Development, if you build in Shipping no-one can use console commands or debug camera hehe
