"Welcome, hopelessly lost souls, to the beginning of your journey"

.......is what I wish the game started with. Buuut I ran out of time so couldn't add any story elements. (Kinda ironic for a game about time)

 Nevertheless, Between Seconds is a short, quick time-based puzzle platformer where you mustn't waste a single second. 

In this world, movement controls the flow of time. Use your ability to freeze time to overcome obstacles, avoid dangers, and solve puzzles.

Controls

W: Jump

Space/LMB: Freeze time

S: Shove

Features

• Time manipulation based puzzles
• Multiple levels with unique challenges 
• Pixel art visuals
•  Dynamic world changes as time runs out 
•  Original artwork and game design

Sidenote:

Made within the time limit of GMTK Game Jam 2026. As this is my first proper game, minor bugs may still be present, especially around physics. Certain environmental elements of the game were inspired by popular webtoon Room Of Swords.
