I like Göby a lot. I think I disappointed him, though! It's quite a puzzle to figure out the best upgrades, especially if you're distracted by fun characters like Watermelony. Fun little game with chipper music that made me happy. Great job!

The countdown is center of the gameplay, you have to make it go to 00:00

Making the player accelerate the countdown instead of fighting it is a brilliant reversal, and Göby, the absurd upgrades, and multiple endings give the chaos so much personality!

Everything CountsUsually you're fighting against the countdown, but here you're trying to make it go faster. Great idea, I love how chaotic it gets!

Speedy SteepleNot much to give feedback on here. Everything is practically done really well. It's impressive visually and gameplay wise, love the upgrade(wish there were even more). And the overarching narrative and the endings are a really nice touch.
However whilst I love the visuals, some of them can be a bit annoying, which to be fair is likely a design choice so you can disregard that statement.
Enjoyed the run, and I got the good ending. in like 414 ticks.

Desires, Time And LifeI got 2 endings. One where the bombs exploded and one where Goby got caught.
At some point there was a bannana and a giraffe on screen. Also the timer was reversed.
I want to give you feedback, but I'ma be honest ......
I had no idea what the heck was going on most of the time lol
Still, hilariously goofy game overall

WatchknightReally cool concept, kind of weird and wacky which I like very much.
It is pretty silly, so it makes sense for upgrades to be silly as well. However I think that too many of those upgrades were just differently worded 50-50 splits. I don't mean this as a bad thing necessarily. I think that it's a play on player with upgrades that either add 1 or remove 1 with 50% chance of each. It does virtually nothing. Most of them do - which was very funny to me, but also discouraged me from playing longer, since it's basically coin flip in the end :)
Kudos for making so many different silly upgrades though. And also for a slider to make ticks faster -really nice quality of life.
