How does your game fit the theme?
In COUNT DOWN, aiming is also a countdown. Hold your aim to reduce the number above your character. When it reaches zero, your weapon fires automatically. The same rule applies to enemies, so combat is about reading multiple countdowns at once: deciding when to commit to a shot, predicting enemy fire, dodging their aim lines, and using close-range attacks before time runs out.

Nice mechanic ! I think it would be so fun in local gameplay with a friend :) Maybe adding some dash mechanic while aiming would avoid the "just aiming when I can" strategy".
The 2D/3D graphics is fun !
Thank you for enjoying the graphics! I agree—this kind of game would probably be a lot of fun in local multiplayer. I also really appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about the gameplay system. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the art and mechanics. Your comment gives me a lot of motivation. Have a great day!
Cool mechanic, especially breaking the aiming line. Environment makes me think of the raving rabbids in the wii-mote from raving rabbids go home
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the aiming-line mechanic. The Raving Rabbids comparison is really interesting—I hadn’t thought of that before! Thanks for playing!
