How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a walking alarm clock whose core resource constantly ticks down. Player needs to manually wind spring mechanism to maintain speed and jump power. The level structure is a countdown of sorts in itself.

Nice controls I would add a blob shadow directly underneath the player to gauge where you would land its essential for 3d platformers I think you should continue working on this it has potential
I considered blob shadow but it kinda conflicted with the lighting setup I have in the scene. I should probably research how this problem is solved in other 3d platformers. Thank you for playing!
It's like only up... but it counts DOWN
Hmm, maybe I should've made a vertical descent game. The initial idea was massive number slabs falling down which you need to traverse on, but It turned out to be more difficult to implement than I thought. So I panicked and cut the scope. Thank you for playing!
Iä, Iä, Clock fhtagn I guess? Really cool game!
Oh, this might be a bit of a spoiler for those who haven't completed the game. I didn’t plan to make it that ominous (different color grading makes things look darker, I guess), but people are free to interpret. Thank you for playing it to the end!
I've tried to take a screenshot that doesn't reveal too much.
But if you want I can take it down?
Let it be. It adds some intrigue and motivates other people to get to the end from the other hand.
Really enjoyable, played till the end! I love the art style you accomplished with such limited time. I'm sure with more time you would have gotten to tune the jump more; maybe something more weighty. Only real trouble I had with the game is the camera. I would end up inside walls some times and around certain tight spaces I would have to make blind movements and hope I did read the space right. Did you use a SpringArm node?
Yes, a bare bones SpringArm node camera rig and very simple jump implementation. The technical aspect needs a lot of polish. I’ve spent most of the time making assets and neglected other stuff. Thank you for playing and giving feedback!
What A nice Game, Keep it Up Man
Thank you for playing!
This game was hard but one of the most underrated best games of the jam yet
That's a high praise. Thank you for playing! It seems you are the first person who've completed the game.
