How does your game fit the theme?
The countdown is basically the heartbeat of the game. The moment it hits zero, your character freezes into a platform, and a new one pops back in at the start with the timer reset. To get through each puzzle, you end up climbing on top of your own frozen past selves. You can even rush the timer on purpose to freeze yourself in just the right spot so running out of time isn't a bad thing, it's actually the trick.

The idea could use a bit more refining, but it was pretty funny, I'll give you that.
Interesting idea!
Iteristing idea, i wish there were some sounds tho
Hard to judge because it has many bugs and is generally a prototype. I will say it would've been nice if "enter" instantly ended the timer
Smart concept!
I think a full-screen button would help, (at least with my game it was on by default with itch so idk why its not on here) But the concept is very clever and creative. I like how the game isn't trying to prevent yourself from dying but instead letting yourself die in a convenient spot, it feels very meta in a fun way.
Creative application of the theme! Echoing what others have said about the softlocking and also a reset button. But I really enjoyed how you thought about building on previous countdowns instead of restarting / taking away.
Nice game idea, really creative, but I did softlock myself on a moving platform level, there should be a way to reset the level. also the clocks say they give +5s but they actually give +3. Simple but clean art style. Nice work!
Neat concept, but it's very easy to softlock yourself
