02 / 04 — GMTK Game Jam 2026
Seven days remain. Rescue survivors, gather resources, and finish the escape ship before the counter hits zero.
Synopsis
The last escape ship is incomplete, and time is running out. Rescue stranded survivors, assign them as workers, gather the resources needed to rebuild civilization's final hope, and complete the spaceship before the countdown reaches zero.
Every rescued survivor strengthens your workforce. Every resource brings you one step closer to survival. Every decision costs precious time. Can you finish the ship before it's too late?
Design notes
- 01
Built around a hard seven-day countdown — the jam's time constraint became the core mechanic instead of just a deadline.
- 02
Workforce assignment turns resource gathering into a management loop that runs against a visible clock.
- 03
Kept camera and interaction minimal (click-to-command) so tension stays on the timer, not the controls.
