Born to be Late

Step into the quirky, fast-paced world of "Born to Be Late," a pixel art word game where every keystroke could mean the difference between making it to work on time or getting fired.

Navigate through a series of increasingly challenging staircases, typing the correct sequence of keys to climb each step and make your way to the top. But beware—this is no ordinary climb! Tricky typos and sneaky obstacles will test your reflexes and typing skills at every turn. Don’t forget to activate the landings by hitting the right keys, or you might find yourself back at the bottom.

You have two minutes to beat the game. Can you overcome the odds and prove that you were born to be... on time?

BEST EXPERIENCE WITH KEYBOARD, MOUSE AND WINDOWS OS

This game was developed by a team of three for the Game Maker Game Jam 2024, featuring the theme "Built to Scale." We interpreted the theme of scaling as a challenging way to climb, and in Italian, the word "scale" literally means stairs.
