Countdown

Countdown - A 5-minute metroidvania created for the Metroidvania Month 20 game jam.

You've successfully infiltrated the facility and planted the bomb - now you need to escape before it explodes. Luckily, your AI assistant J.A.R. is there to provide advice.  Do as he says and you might just make it out alive.

Controls:

•  WASD for movement
• Space to jump
• Space + ASD to dodge
• Ctrl to crouch
• LMB for primary actions
• RMB for secondary actions
• Scroll to change items
• R to reload

Hints:

• Knife combat requires you actually hit the enemy with your knife (with a certain margin of error)
• Score is based on enemies killed and time remaining (if you win)

Walkthrough (read at your own risk):

• Walk onto the catwalk and retrieve your knife
• Exit the room - this will start a 5-minute countdown
• Walk through the corridors and defeat the guards, bringing you to the main room.
• Clear the main room of guards. There are three places of note: The door on the far wall, the vents on the right, and the catwalk on the right.
• The vents on the right lead to a supply room containing a sidearm and ammunition
• The door on the far side of the room leads to a small maze filled with guards
• Fight your way through the maze - it contains two supply rooms holding spare ammunition and a final room with a grapple gun
• Go back to the main room and use the grapple gun to get onto the crosswalk
• Walk through the doorway to win
