Some things I want to say

In the final hours, I had to choose between submitting an unfinished large framework and turning one part of it into a complete small game. I chose the latter.

I cut the puzzles and story, focused on the chase, and discovered that this version might actually be more fun. It is rough, and there is still a lot I wish I could improve. But it is complete.

If you are playing it, thank you. I am glad I did not give up.

LAST MINUTE ECHO

Rewind. Leave an Echo. Survive the last minute.

`LAST MINUTE ECHO` is a compact 2D time-rewind chase platformer. You begin with the Time Core already weighing you down. A hunter that refuses to rewind is awake, and the facility has sixty seconds left.

Hold rewind to erase up to ten seconds of your route. The actions you discard return as an Echo that repeats the old timeline. The hunter prioritizes active Echoes, so every retreat can become a decoy. Use the connected side routes to break line of pursuit, buy distance, or attempt the hidden ending at the far edge of the map.

- One continuous authored pixel-art facility.

- A focused 60-second survival run.

- Rewind creates Echo decoys from your previous movement.

- Three endings: final death, survive the countdown, or kill the hunter with the Time Core.

- English and Simplified Chinese with remappable controls.

Created for GMTK Game Jam 2026 and its theme, **COUNT DOWN**.

How To Play

Stay alive until the countdown reaches zero. The hunter does not rewind. Hold `Q` after recording at least one second of movement to rewind; the erased route returns as an Echo and draws the hunter away. Rewind energy covers up to ten seconds and does not refill during the run.

You are carrying the Time Core, which slightly reduces movement speed and jump height. Survival is the main goal. Reaching the socket at the far edge of the map while still carrying the core unlocks the hidden ending.
