Ready for Upload

Every game that is developed needs testing and debugging before building and enjoying it. "Ready for Upload" is actually not ready not be uploaded. Being a member of a game developer team you should check and find all the problems and then upload the final version of the game. You have only one minute before the game wipes and all settings are reset.

This game was developed by Stavrian and Kambala for the Game Maker's Toolkit Game Jam 2025 and it is an ode to all game developers, who live in a loop doing their best to fix their games.

Thank you for stopping by and playing our game!
