## Description

Core mechanics working; more content on the way! - If you have suggestions for content or find a bug please join my discord and report it. I will be working on this game through the duration of the game jam.

Sometimes Down: Around Town
A playground built for climbing. And for falling.

Somewhere in this city, a big green button is waiting for you. Press it and the clock starts. Rooftops, pipes, ladders, ledges, gaps that are exactly one jump too wide. Reach the red button and the clock stops. Bronze, silver, gold, and your name on a leaderboard the whole world can see.

Miss the jump? Sometimes you go down. The name is a warning.

Then become a toy.

One key and you're an RC car. Not a costume, a real one: suspension that squats on landing, a tail that steps out when you flick the handbrake, jumps and mid-air flips off anything with an edge. The playground that just took you ten minutes on foot is a different place at ankle height, and it's littered with rings. Rings are cash. Cash is everything.

Spend it on yourself. Spend it on the car.

Faster feet, higher jumps for the runner. Speed, handling and hop for the car. And the garage, where the real money goes: a whole line of RC bodies to unlock, from the dented starter to the pickup, the buggy, the bus, the fire truck with the ladder, and one purchase that exists purely to make a statement.

Look under everything.

Collectables are hidden in every corner of the map, and they're not lying in plain sight. Some are up. Some are very, very down.

The goal

Collect every car. Top every board.

This is a jam build and it's growing while you play. New blocks of city, new courses, and car races are next. Come back, the leaderboards will still be waiting.
