Capsule Timer

A simple countdown timer made for Summer Slow Jams 2023: Idle.

Specifically, it's a chill timer, intended for taking breaks and relaxing. A little pixel friend hangs out on their hammock while the timer counts down, then heads off back to work when the time is up.

Use the cursor keys to select items in the menu and Z or X to start the timer. Pressing Z or X while the timer is running will pause it.

For now if you want to abandon/reset the timer you need to press 'enter' and reset the PICO-8 cart - a future update will add a menu entry for this. It's also likely that different timer modes will be added, like Pomodoro and time-tracking.
