Retro Arcade Countdown

What it doesv1.0.1

Retro Arcade Countdown turns a starting-soon screen, break, intermission, or scheduled event into a proper arcade moment. The timer combines chunky scoreboard digits with a pixel character that races across the display and triggers the final reveal when time reaches zero.

Use a reusable fixed duration or count down to a real date and time. Titles, labels, digit size, colors, progress display, character style, sounds, finale effects, and transparent compositing can all be configured in StreamElements.
