The Control Centre

The Control Centre:

It is imperative that you press the button. Management is counting on you to perform this task to the best of your ability. You are doing so well that they keep entrusting you with more and more tasks that are hindering your ability to press the button.

Controls/Instructions:

WASD - Standard Movement Controls

E - Interact with objects in the environment

Arrow Keys - Select Minigames

Mouse Cursor - Select Minigames and certain tasks

Theme:

Countdown

Context:

This game was a submission to the GMTK Game Jam 2026, which ran for 4 days.  All of the assets, code and gameplay was conceived and made within this timeframe by a team of 2 developers. The jam had a theme of countdown, which we used as the basis for the gameplay loop. We interpreted it as needing to perform a simple task, in a set time, with the task becoming increasingly complex as you progress, until the countdown starts to become a real issue.
