StopMotion

MOVE TO SURVIVE. FREEZE TO STAY ALIVE.

Welcome to a high-stakes 2D action-platformer where time is your greatest weapon—and your deadliest enemy.

NOTE: DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS BUILD FOR BETTER EXPERIENCE.

Trapped in a volatile temporal gauntlet, you must navigate treacherous platforming challenges while subjected to shifting rules of reality. Governed by an unpredictable rhythm engine, the world continuously cycles between rapid motion and absolute stasis. Adapt on the fly, read the telegraphs, and master your momentum to survive.

One mistake, and you go sky-high.

THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

This isn't your standard platformer. You are strapped with two conditional explosives that force you to play by the clock:

🟢 WHEN TIME IS TICKING (Green Light): YOU MUST MOVE. Stand still for even a fraction of a second, and your Idle Bomb will detonate. Keep your legs moving, chain your jumps, and sprint through the danger!

❄️ WHEN TIME IS FROZEN (Red Light): YOU MUST FREEZE. The instant the clock locks, any horizontal velocity will trigger your Motion Bomb. Stop dead in your tracks—even if it means hanging suspended in mid-air!

KEY FEATURES

🧠 Dynamic Rhythm Engine: Powered by weighted pacing profiles (The Sprint, The Stutter, and The Breather), the time-shifts are organic and unpredictable. You can't just memorize a timer; you have to feel the rhythm!

🚀 Mid-Air Stasis: Caught jumping over a chasm when time freezes? Gravity itself locks in place. Use mid-air suspension to plan your next trajectory before the action resumes!

🎮 Tight, Kinematic Controls: Engineered for crisp, responsive platforming. Featuring variable-height jumps, coyote time, jump buffering, and zero-friction landing physics so every death feels like your own fault—not the game's.

🔊 Visceral Audiovisual Juice: Shifting screen-border vignettes, urgent ticking metronomes, and heart-pounding stasis audio telegraph every state shift before it happens.

⚡ Snappy UI & Kinetic Feel: Responsive menus with bouncy elastic feedback that get you right back into the action instantly after a wipe.
