Countdown to spring
About the Game
You are a hardworking beaver facing the ultimate survival challenge. Deep in the wilderness, the river is rising, and your home is threatened. Your main goal is simple yet demanding: keep the dam intact, manage your daily resource gathering, and survive until the timer runs out.
Built under intense time constraints, this game focuses on core survival mechanics, tight resource loops, and constant pressure against the elements.
Key Features
- Top-Down Survival & Exploration: Navigate the map, dodge obstacles, and find crucial wood and stone nodes to fuel your repairs.
- The Dam Integrity System: Watch the water levels closely. The river current constantly erodes the dam, forcing you to balance exploration with urgent maintenance.
- Resource Management: Collect materials with your limited personal inventory, store them safely at your lodge, and use them on-site to keep everything afloat.
- Beat the Clock: Survive through the tense countdown timer where every second counts to prevent a total disaster.
Controls
- WASD : Move your beaver around the map.
- E : Interact with resource nodes, storage, and repair sites.
Developed with passion (and a lot of questioning) for the GMTK 2026. Feedback and comments are more than welcome!
