EVERY INPUT HAS A PRICE.

Control Countdown is a fast-paced 2D puzzle platformer where every single action—moving left or right, jumping, or dashing—spends 1 point from your level budget.

If your countdown reaches 0 and you try to make one more move, you shatter! Plan your route, chain momentum, collect bonus orbs, and reach the portal with spare moves to set the highest score on every stage.

KEY FEATURES

- Action-Budget Platforming: Every button press matters. Hold a direction to commit to your movement, or use mid-air dashes to cross wide gaps in a single point.

- 12 Handcrafted Levels: Progress from crisp introductory puzzles to multi-screen gauntlets featuring crumbling platforms, bounce pads, recharge orbs, and moving saws.

- High-Score Mastery: Beat levels with 0 moves left to survive, or optimize your route to finish with +1, +2, or more spare moves.

- Crisp Arcade Feel: Responsive controls, synth soundtrack, dynamic pitch-shifting countdown audio, and 3-layer parallax visuals.
