A submission for the GMTK Game Jam. The theme is countdown. You can't stop the countdown, only bend the world around it.

Every mode drains your energy. It refills only while time runs normally, and only once you let go.

That's the whole game. Safety costs energy. Energy costs safety.

Run the gauge dry and the world snaps back to full speed around you, mid-jump, mid-run, mid-mistake. You will feel it. Literally
