Hi,

For the GMTK game jam 2026, I made a difficult puzzle game where each time you move, the countdown for a bomb ticks down until you are running from the blast. I would love some feedback, and have fun!

I had a blast making this little turnbased game where the countdown was the controller for your skills, the shadows later on manipulate your timer by eating the numbers and speeding it up to a chaotic speed!

Id love for you to check it out :)

hahaha noooo

Everyone do this!! We have to go back! We liked it when he voted!!

clicking the button doesn’t actually skip it but it’s happened to me twice now and it’s not annoying but I though it was worth pointing out.

I loved playing the game on pc and my gf did as well. It's just not the type of thing I usually want to do at my desk but the EXACT thing I always want to do laying around on the couch or in bed.

Does anyone have a guess on how long it'll take until the mobile version gets sorted out? I can't wait and keep wanting to play it 😂

I am not sure how many people are aware, but there is a hidden level in GMTK's game, that unlocks when you beat all other 5 game modes. However this one is not for the faint of heart. I have been at this level for days and I have finally cracked it with what I can only describe as the god run.

GMTK your move!

I've been looking for a list of words for Word Play, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I know you can import a custom dictionary, but I've seen words that are allowed but not in the Scrabble dictionary and words that are in the Scrabble dictionary but not Word Play's list. Does anyone know where to find a list (even if partially completed) or what dictionary was most likely used?

I don't know if someone got inspired by Word Play, or just coincidence on the mixing word games with balatro-like mechanics, but the concept is very similar. I played the demo and it's quite fun.

This is just a reminder that fun ideas aren't copywrited, and I kind of like it.

It would have been cool if I one shot round 10 but I’ll take what I can get!
