TIME IS YOUR HEALTH. TIME IS YOUR WEAPON.

You have thirty seconds in the ledger.

Holding a freeze burns through them. Enemy contact takes more. But every target you mark and detonate buys time back. Spend carefully, build the cascade, and never let the clock reach zero.

Because at zero, the Collector does not negotiate.

FREEZE. MARK. DETONATE.

  1. Burn reality to stop the battlefield.
  2. Touch frozen enemies to prime them individually.
  3. Release the freeze and reclaim time through precise detonations.
  4. Meet the sector quota, follow the compass, and survive the next audit.

JAM RECORD

Created solo for GMTK Game Jam 2026.

Theme: COUNTDOWN

NOTES

Started working on this very late, so instead of my default go-to Unity, I opted for developing in purely native web to speed things up. No art or audio assets were generated, everything is purely native web. Also, this is my first time participating in a gamejam, hehe.

Special Thanks

Special thanks to all my friends, coworkers for testing and providing feedback to improve it. Specially to my wife for supporting and encouraging me throughout to submit this.

FINAL NOTICE

Calibration begins inside the field. At 0.0, your ledger will be collected.
