Made in 4 days for GMTK Game Jam 2026 — theme: COUNTDOWN.


CONTROLS:

- MOVE: WASD

- GRAB: Q

- RESET CELLS POSITION: R


GOAL:

Small puzzle game where the goal is to reach the last room. You'll have to use the cells to place in the right pedestal to open doors and move forward.

The cell will have a lifespan and the countdown will start as soon as you grab them, the only way to stop time is to put them in a pedestal. 

There will be a sign showing in which room you are about to enter and every room teaches you a twist on the core mechanic.

If the cell runs out of time and it will respawn at its original position fully recharged. Good Luck!
