A downloadable Platform-hell game for Windows

In Sand Wars: Hold the Time, you are a powerful Time Wizard trapped in an endless, ever-shifting dungeon where the floors crumble and the walls move with each passing moment. Dark forces flood the dungeon, hurling waves of deadly particles and bullets, and the only way to fight back is by bending time itself.


In this fast-paced, heart-pounding platformer, you must dash and leap across moving, collapsing platforms while dodging enemy fire from all directions. But there’s a twist—your magical attacks can only be unleashed when you pause time. As the dungeon’s chaotic forces freeze around you, it’s your chance to strategize: strike your enemies with powerful spells, or secure your footing before the dungeon swallows you whole. Every pause becomes a moment of intense decision-making as you balance movement, survival, and destruction.


The dungeon never stops shifting beneath you, and its enemies never stop coming. Master the rhythm of motion and stillness, conquer the endless dungeon, and prove you can hold the time.

      

In Sand Wars: Hold the Time, only those who can outwit both time and the dungeon itself will stand a chance. Can you master the ever-shifting chaos and survive the endless descent?
