Before Zero (Hard Game)

About the Game

This is a game I made for GMTK Game Jam 2026 and this is my very first "finished" game. I am very new to gamedev so making this in 2 days (2 days cuz I was full busy for a day) was tough but it was fun... Hope you like it!

Keybinds:

WASD movement keys
Press "E" for Shop
Press "Esc" for Main Menu

How to Play:

Your objective is simple: reach and defuse the bomb before the timer runs out.

The bomb is located on the far right of the map. You'll only start with 5 seconds, which isn't nearly enough time to reach it.

Collect Goop to purchase permanent upgrades in the shop. Some upgrades will help you survive longer, while one is essential if you want to beat the game.

If you're struggling... there's a secret Goop stash hidden on the left side of the map. 😉

Good luck! (You'll probably need it... I may have accidentally made the game a little too difficult. 😅) 

Future Plans

I really wanted to add a bomb explosion animation, but I ran out of time before the deadline. I'll definitely be adding it in a future update!
