"Countdown to Chaos"

is a turn-based dungeon survival game where movement is your only direct command.

There is no attack button. Whenever you move, time advances: enemies take action, cooldowns tick, projectiles travel, and your attacks and defenses activate automatically. Your melee attack always strikes in the direction you moved most recently.

But monsters are not the dungeon’s greatest threat. At regular intervals, a Cataclysm rewrites the rules of the run.

You may gain the ability to walk through walls. Enemies may lose their freedom of movement. You might attack every turn—but lose access to your defense. Just as you become comfortable, the dungeon forces you to rethink everything.

Controls / How to Play

Move

WASD or Arrow Keys

Hold a movement key to move repeatedly

Melee attack

Automatically activates after its cooldown

Ranged attack

Automatically fires projectiles on a separate cycle

Defense

Automatically activates at regular intervals

Every movement is a turn. Position yourself while watching enemy movement, attack timing, traps, and incoming projectiles.

You cannot move into a monster’s tile, but the attempt still advances the flow of combat. Sometimes facing the right direction is more important than moving forward.
