On Borrowed Time

On Borrowed Time

A short rage-puzzle platformer where movement itself is a limited resource.

You play as a clockwork toy that can only move while time remains on its key. Once it runs out, you stop. No air control. No forgiveness. Every step matters.

Each level looks simple. Each level lies.

Made for TOY BOX JAM 2025, using the provided assets and a few carefully edited variations.

Controls

• Left / Right – Move

• Jump – Jump

• R – Restart level

That’s it. The rest is on you.

Gameplay

• Collect keys to gain limited movement time

• Silver keys allow basic movement

• Golden keys grant more time and extra jumps

• Fake paths, dead ends, and misleading goals are intentional

• Exploration is mandatory. Trust is optional.

Edited Sprites

Some sprites have been recolored or slightly modified from the original TOY BOX JAM asset pack to better fit the clockwork theme.

• The Golden and Silver Keys have got a black outline
• Clock hand was separated and uploaded as a single image
• Audio and SFX pitch was changed
