COLD RUSH

Made solo in 4 days for the GMTK Game Jam 2026, theme: COUNT DOWN.

You have 15 seconds. That's the whole race.


Warning: Web player can be laggy in some browsers, feel free to download the game to play at it's best version(Windows and Linux supported).


The clock starts the moment you can drive, so hurry up and drive to the finish line but drive safe, you have fans supporting you! You are also able to freeze time, but be careful not to drive off road to get one, time frozen can't help if you lose more time than what it gives.

Your score is the time the clock actually ate. Frozen seconds are free seconds for the run time.


CONTROLS

  • WASD / Arrow Keys - Drive
  • Space - Start the run / Drift
  • R - Restart
  • Esc - Menu


WHAT I MADE

All gameplay code, the car handling and surface system, the toon shader and anime post-processing stack, the UI, the audio system, the track layout and terrain, and the custom editor tools used to build the level.
