Welcome to Garden of Thyme! A fun little platformer game focused on speedrunning and saving the world from the EVIL ROCK LORD.

Traverse across four different levels and a boss fight to collect seedlings and save the world, all while getting  new personal best in time!

This game was created for the Gameboy Showdown, with the theme of TIME. I incorporated the theme by making a speedrunning oriented game, along with the main character being a leaf of THYME (Please don't eat him)

Controls:

D-Pad/Arrows Keys/WASD to walk and climb

A/z/j to pass text and jump

Clarification:

The timer accumulates over all the levels

Jump on mini rock golems to lose 5 seconds off of your time, but be careful! They bite!

On mobile devices/browsers, controls should be shown on screen.

1: Yeah, I didn't know how to change the physics until it was too late, this was my first time with gbs, so it's really hard, sorry abt that.

2: No, I manually created the idle.
