My solo entry for the GMTK Game Jam 2026! Theme is "Count Down".

This is by far the most complete game I've ever done and I'm very happy with the final outcome given that this is my 4th Jam ever. Only issue I've run into is that the beat of the song doesn't match the countdown beat the longer a round goes on. I tried to play around with numbers a lot and this is the closest I can get it to be synced. 

Fun fact: this game does not use any Node2D, or Node3D nodes; only Control and AudioStreamPlayer nodes. I recommend you play with sound and only using your keyboard after the main menu.

Name TERO derives from terô (Kashubian language). I grew up around the region of Kashubia and its language is on the verge of being extinct, so I thought I would honour it by starting to name my games after Kashubian words. terô translates to "now".
