Description:

Beat the Clock is a short pvp game where you and a opponent must compete to be the last one with time. Two player fight over sand that is ever decreasing in an hourglass  by kicking it all over the arena.  The goal of the game is to gather all the sand on the side of the hour glass that matches your color.  Hit the hourglass and your opponent's time will start flowing to your side. Each hit on the hourglass removes some sand from it. Making it more and more frenetix as the duel goes on.

Made during the https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2026  with the Godot game engine.
