How does your game fit the theme?
You command a crew of characters, but you only control ONE at a time, and control counts down and auto-rotates to the next one every 5 seconds. Layered on top is the level's own doom clock (a bomb fuse, a rocket launch, a reactor meltdown), and almost every object has its own countdown too: timed doors, burning fuses, crumbling floors, launcher cycles. The puzzle is orchestrating a whole team you can only touch one at a time while several countdowns tick at once. Everything counts down and juggling all of them at once is the whole game.

This is a cool game! I feel like Reactor Meltdown might have been bugged? Or maybe I just didn't understand it. When I switched dudes the timer on the second gate would just reset to 0. But well done!
Thank you for the feedback! For level 4: The button opens the door only for 2 seconds after being pressed. This means you have to make sure that you press it at the end of lets say A’s turn and be ready to instantly walk through in B’s turn… Pressing it too early will make the 2 second timer run out before you can enter with B. And trying to walk in with C after pressing the button with A won’t work since skipping B’s turn will cost you 5 seconds aswell…
It is a bit hard to explain through text but hope that helps!
Really good puzzle game
