How does your game fit the theme?
Our game utilizes one core level and asks the player to return in each era to reach a different goal. We wanted the player to loop back on familiar territory with a unique challenge each time. Additionally, our story focuses on themes of going into the past to fix a broken future. This idea of a time loop was crucial when exploring what could have been and what we can make going forward.

Count ing backwards may be the best name i've ever heard, wow

Great game ahah! Really well done mechanic with a nice narrative surrounding it, even tho i would've like a better presentation to each of the pieces, and also on the game, as when i was building the thingy i didn't even know it was a bad piggies style game lol, but still not that important, just a feedback, maybe also the music is too loud compared to the voicelines (which are also very nice) great entry, really liked it! :))

Thanks! Yeah a little description for each of the pieces would be fantastic. Unfortunately we cut the deadline pretty close as it is. We'll keep your feedback in mind for any future updates!

Excelent game! It reminded me of Zonai Devices in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you have created a vehicle system, that's incredible! Congrats!

No way you just recreated a vehicule building engine??? That’s amazing! I wasn’t good enough to go past the second level but I really had fun building my own (sketchy) prototypes haha Also, the voice acting is very good, it really adds something to a game jam video game!

This is pretty cool. Reminds me a lot of Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, which I played the hell out of!

Such a fun idea- Having a limited number of materials to use throughout the course of the whole game worked wonders for encouraging smarter use of the building mechanics. The story was also incredibly charming, all around well done! <3

I loved the voice acting and the narrative, I though that this was super impressive for the deadline and enjoyed playing it!

Nice haven't seen this done before in the jam, great job! I'd really appreciate if you checked out my game too! It's called "Kill, Clear, Repeat" and it's a fps rogue-lite  if you're interested. Keep up the great work!

It's super ambitious to create vehicle builder in 4 days, it turned out great!
