How does your game fit the theme?
You are driving in a car, and the GPS counts down the miles until you reach your destination. We wanted to explore the idea of "countdown as time limit" in an unusual way by having the in-game story continue (without the player) after the timer runs out.

Interesting take on the jam theme. Kinda meditative. Like it

Dracula: Restless Legs SyndromeVery pretty! I love the way thoughts float and slide around. Took me a sec to figure it out, I had to read the description to know how to break the chain. Played it twice and got the end! Loved the little sounds effects of you getting out of the car, nice detail!

Happy New YearReally liked the atmosphere and meditative feel of the game. I do feel the mechanical aspect was hard to follow. Even reading the description below I wasn't able to grasp how I was supposed to connect things. But that gave me more time to consider the possible story the words were playing out. In the end, I got a fun experience from it so thank you.

Lorem Ipsum Is MissingFrom the instructions, I think it is the confusion on what active vs inactive thoughts meant. Also, I wasn't sure if the text sometimes was white or grey, but that might be more of a "my eyes are only so-so" thing.
My big question when playing was why some things would connect and others would not. It didn't really click when I was playing through experimentation. I understood the "..." needed something after it, from the instructions, but I could connect two things without any "..."'s. And sometimes a connection wouldn't link and there was no real feedback on why.
Got stuck a bit on the 2nd set because I did not understand right away that all thoughts must be connected together to create a single chain 😅 I love the concept though and the mood was on point, great work!

Foresee. Move. SurviveVery creative idea for a game. The driving animation looks awesome!
I didn't really understand the thoughts, though. I couldn't get past the 2nd set. It seemed like it wanted me to connect all 4 together, but I wasn't able to do it. Then, I arrived at the destination before I could figure it out! 😂 😂

UNIDENTIFIED COUNT - DOWNThis is an artistic piece. Mood was calm and satisfying.

WORDOWN: Three Ways To Count DownBeautiful.
I think I wasted too much time trying to make it “correct” but slowly realized that there’s no such thing in this game.

Minutefallsuch a tranquil game! very narratively focused, and i love how there's not necessarily a wrong answer to what you do, nice work :D

CactincrementA beautiful and simple game, especially paired with the music it's been the most calming experience I've had so far. Aside from a little bit of initial confusion with how the game worked especially the colored phrases, you've captured an atmosphere that hits very close to home and it's just incredibly pleasant and relaxing. Great work and unique interpretation for countdown!!

HickoryA really reflective game! I like that the I could make connections to any thought even if it doesn't make sense, it gives a sense of freedom to how I want to reflect! Very atmpspheric game with a good interpretation of the countdown theme.

ParallelityI like how moody this game is, and the open-endedness of it. At first I was afraid of getting the connections "wrong" and not advancing but I realize this isn't that kind of game, and you're free to sort out your thoughts in different ways, which I like quite a bit. The setting's a great way to establish a natural countdown without outright just putting a clock into the game too!
I did notice that, even though I could mostly arrange the words however I liked, there seemed to be a few thoughts that refused to connect together. I'm not sure if that's a deliberate choice, but some of them seemed like they would make logical sense, like "I learned to live there..." "...thanks to you" seem like they could be a valid connected pair, but they refused to pair up.

Failure To LaunchVery nice unique experience, I truly loved the artwork, lighting, and music all put together.

Revenge of the WormsReally nice submission! love me some cosy introspective vibes.

How To Kiss (with pictures)The night-drive atmosphere is lovely, especially with the music and scattered thoughts. Really vibe! i found it hard sometimes to connect dots , but it was so good. And the UI on the phone - top "candy"
