This game was made in just under 4 days for the GMTK Game Jam 2026.

Borrowed Time is a (kind of) puzzle platformer where you must finish each level before time runs out.

After every level, you'll enter the shop. There, you can buy power-ups and consumables to help you complete future levels faster.

There's just one catch: buying items costs time.

Spend too much time shopping, and the timer will run out before you know it. Buy nothing, and you'll have to complete the levels without any extra help.

Find the right balance and make every second count.

  • Move: Arrow Keys (← ↑ ↓ →)
  • Jump: Space
  • Interact / Open doors: F
  • Use Crowbar (consumable): C
  • Use Find My Keys (consumable): H
  • Respawn: R
  • Pull boxes: Shift (Pushing boxes doesn't require holding Shift.


If you enjoyed the game, I'd really appreciate it if you left a rating and some feedback.
