5 Minutes To Midnight

The end of the world is in 5 minutes, unless you can stop it.

This project is something I'm proud of. I initially made it for the 2023 Summer Slow Jam, and I worked on it for about an hour a day. The idea is that you are a world leader for a country who has to find a way to prevent a missile from reaching you. There was some pretty heavy inspiration taken from another game, but I can't find it or remember the title. The game was black-and-white, and you played as Russia trying to defend America. 

While I'm happy with the final product, I wish I would have done a little more. By the end, I'd lost motivation. If I put more effort into it, I would've added a mystery element: who nuked Achare? If y'all enjoy this project, I might update it, but I want to work on some other games I've put on hold.

The title is a reference to the Doomsday Clock, which tells us how long we have left as a species. Depending on foreign relations, the clock may be set forward or backward. It's interesting, and deserves a quick Google.

When playing, PLEASE play in full screen mode.
