Just in Time

You collect Countdowns to keep the count of Countdowns down and increase your own count of Countdowns.

Sounds easy enough, right?

Just in Time is a fast-paced Platformer where you don't race against one clock, but against all of them!
If a single Countdown counts down to 0, you're counted out. Don't let that keep you down!

Sound Warning:
There is Music playing once you load into a map. Make sure to adjust Sound beforehand.

Controls:

W A S D - Move
Spacebar - Jump (and Double-Jump!)
LShift - Sprint
CTRL / C - Crouch (If you crouch midair, you fall down faster)
Left-Click / E / F - Grapple (Hold to pull yourself to red Grapple-Targets)
ESC - Pause (Doesn't work that well in Web-Version if you use Fullscreen)
