Borrowed Time — my multiplayer Devvit Web experiment from the ScoreSpace x Reddit Game Jam

[u/negoginga]

Hey Devvit folks!

I built Borrowed Time for the ScoreSpace x Reddit Game Jam and ended up placing #25 out of 45.

Didn't make the top this time, but I'm pretty happy that the technical experiment actually worked: I wanted to see how far I could push a real-time multiplayer game running natively inside a Reddit post.

Borrowed Time is built around one simple rule:

Your clock is your life.

Players have a limited amount of time, fight each other in real-time multiplayer matches, accumulate wins, and compete on persistent leaderboards — all without leaving Reddit.

Now that the jam is over, I'm keeping it online instead of letting the project disappear.

I'd especially appreciate feedback from other Devvit developers on the experience, multiplayer implementation, onboarding, or anything you think I could have done differently.

And congrats to everyone who participated in the jam. It was a fun one to build for.
