Submission to GMTKGame Jam 2026 - Countdown

In this game you play a laser pointer that attempts to teach a cat to count down from 10 to 1. Every number is taught with a series of increasingly unhinged minigames in a WarioWare-like gauntlet. 

Challenge yourself to reach the lowest score possible. Maybe you could even go below 0...? Tailor the experience to your needs with three difficulty options.

To play, you only need to use the mouse. Press left click to interact and hold right click to cancel a run. You can also play on mobile with touch controls.

For the optimal experience, we recommend playing with audio. 

We hope you have a purrfect-not-pawful time playing our chaotic game "Crazy Countdown Cat"!
