Beat The Count Down
The world is ending in 30 seconds from The Count Down. Enemies steal time from you, but you can steal time from them as well! Time is money, however, so buy upgrades at the shop or save for the future. Try to beat the count before your clock counts down!
And enable HARD MODE if you dare for extra points (inspired by Rayman)

PS, I built a level editor to make level design easier but you can also use it and export your save and share it with others for them to import! Only do this if you want to ruin your run (it's a cheat menu for playtesting), access the level editor, or import a level!
To access it: do ↑↑↓↓←→←→ on your keyboard
Disclaimer: This was made in four days, however, being a one-man team for programming, I did use Claude to help speed up coding. However, none of the ideas, enemies, bosses, music, or art was generated by an AI, as that was our whole team. I marked the AI box to be fully transparent, so if anyone prefers to avoid games that involve AI in any way, I completely understand and hope you for the best!🙏🙏
