THEME — COUNT DOWN

Your countdown, in color.

I wanted to combine the fading of color with the idea of a countdown, so that the path the player leaves behind becomes part of the countdown itself.
The number in the corner is the obvious countdown.
The real one is everywhere.

ABOUT

6 short levels — three STEP, three SLIDE, one for each color of the spectrum.
Made in Unity for GMTK Game Jam 2026.
I leaned into the things I love: chunky pixels, old-console warmth, and a few small easter eggs hidden in the level layouts. 
Thanks for playing — I hope you enjoy it.
