Time is of the essence in this Vampire Survivors-like shoot 'em up.

• Instead of a health bar, a countdown timer now decides your fate.
• Killing zombies and surviving waves replenishes your time, but taking damage whittles it down.
• Using your spells and buffs requires you to string together inputs and complete minigames, making time an even scarcer resource.
• Minigame countdowns affect your gameplay dramatically. Turn the tide by chaining multiple countdowns together to gain huge advantages.
• How long can you survive before your time counts down?
