Made for GMTK Game Jam 2026 (with the theme of "Countdown"), this platformer features a fun gimmick where the player character, Germick, dances on a repeating countdown. While dancing, all movements are halted but you can still fall into spikes if you're above them!

Throughout the game's 10 levels, actions other than dancing also receive their own countdowns including jumping, moving, crouching and dashing. Each level has their own combination of countdown types and timings creating a unique challenge for each.

Controls:

• Move left / right - A / D or left arrow / right arrow
• Jump - Space
• Crouch - Hold S or down arrow
• Dash - E or Shift

Known bugs:

• Level 8 may be unbeatable if the game the computer is played on is running too slowly. If you get hit by lasers despite crouching for as long as you can, try plugging in your computer.

Progress is saved after closing the game with a level select in the title screen.

This is my third game and second game jam! This game jam had a time limit of 4 days.

Concept was likely subconsiously influenced by games from GMTK Jam 2020 that tied jumps to a timer.
