How does your game fit the theme?
The game uses a countdown timer in place of a standard healthbar! Taking damage makes the timer go down, getting to a new floor makes the timer go up! Once the timer runs out, you lose and have to start again.

Took me a little to get the hang of the controls, but this was a fun and cool concept! Nice job :)

Submitted

I really like the movement mechanics in this! I was confused at first, but quickly got a hold of it. Quite a fun vertical climber! I like how the time doubles as the health, and also that even with the small set of obstacles, each level varies what obstacles they have! it makes for an engaging experience.  Good job on this game!

Really impressed by the two very distinct movement mechanics! It seems like there's a really high skill ceiling with them.  I feel like that space could've been further explored with a hand-made campaign, but this is a jam game so a roguelike makes sense. The tutorial was nice, though I felt I didn't need it with how intuitive the controls are! Also, cool music and overall vibes!

Submitted

I really like the mechanics and feel like there is a lot of potential for going crazy with the movement!

Submitted

It’s got potential. The controls are a bit fiddly at the moment, but I liked it.

Submitted

A really cool idea that could definitely benefit from better controls. Overall though I had a great time with it, good job!

Submitted

That a neat idea for a time-based movement! Pretty difficult too but I can see how you could spend a lot of time here to master it.

Submitted

The controls were a little too finicky for me, but I thought this was a creative idea! Wish there'd been a "restart now" button or key. The tutorial was definitely necessary and very clear and helpful.
