How does your game fit the theme?
Arrows are on a countdown before they explode. Players can approximately figure out when they will explode and either cleanse or take the risk.

Every asset and SFX is a free asset offered by the Game Jam 2026 Discord server or itch.io free assets.

Sprites: https://kenney.nl/assets
SFX: https://kenney.nl/assets and https://tallbeard.itch.io/music-loop-bundle

Two other things have been adjusted based on the sprites gotten from
https://kenney.nl/assets/new-platformer-pack : the "ducking" sprite has been adjusted to look like "dead/giving up" manually in the sprite editor.
The arrow sprite from https://kenney.nl/assets/micro-roguelike has been manually adjusted to be facing the needed directions, so basically newly made but heavily inspired by it (copied the colors, and retraced it manually).

This is super cute. It's a quick little shooter experience with friends! Played so many of these types of games back in the day.

Nice game, I like the graphics. If you have time, I would be happy if you could also rate my game: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4831636

Really fun and simple. It reminds me of the flash games I'd play with my brother when I was younger.
