The Edge of Time is a platformer game made for the VimJam 2. The theme was "On the Edge" and the limitation was "Boss". Our team decided to incorporate these aspects by creating a game where you are quite literally, on the edge of time.

The Timekeeper has taken the world into his hands. On his tower, is his slow-rolling clock of death. When this clock falls off the tower, the game ends. You have 3 lives and 1:30 to make your way through 9 levels of the Timekeeper's tower and defeat him. Good luck.

Controls:

A & D or arrow keys for horizontal movement
Space to jump
Right click on the left or right of the screen to dash
Left click on the left or right of the screen to swing sword
R to restart level
H to toggle hints
E + W/S to climb ropes

Stuff you might like to know:

This guy is a flyer. They can harm you when they get too close. Don't panic though, just swing your sword at them and they should be a pretty easy kill.

Throughout the game, you'll come across various clock collectables like this one. They add 15 seconds to the timer, so make sure to pick them up when possible.

This is the Timekeeper. It is up to you to figure out how to defeat him. No tips here!

How to give feedback:

Try to avoid repeating anything people have already said.
Don't ask me to play your game without giving feedback on mine first.
Rate honestly.
