CrypTick
Plunged deep within the bowels of the darkest of dungeons, fending off unkown creatures, you finally find it, your only hope for escape, the Chronomicon!
Cryptick is a small hand-drawn strategy dungeon crawler done for the 2026 GMTK game jam.
Hearing the theme "Countdown", our team immediately thought that the countdown had to be used for something other than time.So came to us the idea that the countdown should be a resource.
Use your time wisely as you claw your way out, Chronomicon in hand and hope for the light of day in your heart.

The strongest game hook is visuals. In my opinion, the countdown that only decreases when you take a step or get damage feels like a common hp bar. It's very interesting how you combine the self-defense and attack turn that will be activated in a few turn.
Overal: Pretty good game
