How does your game fit the theme?
We took the GMTK 2026 theme "Count Down" and applied it directly to your keyboard. It's not just a timer ticking away—it's your robot's functionality. You start with a 9-cell battery. Every time a main battery cell is completely drained, the game freezes, and a terrifying countdown begins: You must permanently scrap one of your active control keys. Will you sacrifice your ability to move left (A)? Can you survive without dashing (Shift)? Are you brave enough to delete your jump button (Space)? If you don't choose in time, the system will randomly rip a key away from you! As the count down continues, your movement options shrink, forcing you to find entirely new, glitchy, and creative ways to beat the level using only the broken controls you have left.

A quick, charming, and enjoyable experience. The music is great, and the puzzle‑platforming feels engaging with lots of creative possibilities. Some UI and controls take a moment to grasp, but overall it’s a really strong and clever entry! Good job devs! :D
Woah! The tutorial is brilliantly designed. The level after felt like a big jump. There's a lot going on in the controls and button placement to me wasn't super intuitive, but maybe this would be a more natural controller game. The design is very impressive.
Fun game. Interesting concept. The robot is really cute doing his dance on the main menu. Good job.
Brilliant concept! Force you to strategize and change play style for your future moves!
I'm playing on a mac on Firefox Browser and the A & D key were not working to rotate elements. Also the M key was not working. COuldn't go through the tutorial 😩
It's a shame because the game looks gorgeous and the controls are great. It felt like a really good demanding platformer. I'll try on another device when I can
Gosh sorry about that... We'll find a chance to test it on mac and try to fix it, so so so sorry :(
Love the idea behind the game! I am not good enough at this style of game to get the really see the full potential of it, especially with a keyboard, though that's on me. Brilliant idea and seemingly great execution!
pretty good
Man what a quick and enjoyable game. I loved the music!
I felt a bit confused when I first loaded into the level, but by the end of my first run through I figured out most of the ui.
