Be Late for Work
Made for GMTK game jam 2026.
Heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven's approach to rhythm gameplay. The might be a bug in the final challenge, so I'm not sure whether it's possible to do it perfectly. But there should be enough health to get through it.
Hopefully the timing is lenient enough to be sort of playable with Bluetooth headphones.
Programming, art, and music were done by me.
Controls
- Space, J, K, or L to go advance dialogue.
- J, K, and L to snooze the three alarms.
- If you get stuck or run into an issue, you can use the left and right arrow keys to skip backwards and forwards through the game. You can also press down arrow to skip immediately to the final challenge.

very cute game
I really liked this, cute concept :-) I would say the tutorial should place more emphasis on the three clocks having different timings. Would be great if it said either 'late' or 'early' when you get it wrong. I like how lenient it was, including the arrow keys to move through the challenges.
