This is a really cool game. Initially expected a rhythm game or something, but then found that I loved playing at my own pace, seeing how the drawings and sound reacted to my input. Super simple on the surface, but executed really well. The art is so wonderful, really reminded me of some other full published games I have seen with the same sort of structure, which means I could see this being a published game. The ending is lovely as well. Great work!

Ironically played at work while looking over my shoulder, yet it still managed to leave me struck profoundly calm. Very sweet and redefined how I look at game jams.

Amazing artwork, animation and sound design, and I love the messasge at the end - nice to play something at your own pace and it contrasts nicely with so many other games where you're racing against the clock.  Great job!

Cool idea and amazing visuals and audio. Made me life seeing new situations each time. Great job !

This was amazing. Of course the art is great, the black and white doodle style fits so well. The gameplay is simple, but actually fits the theme and narrative more than you think, and the ending was very nice :,)

THank you very much! Glad you had a good time!

Impressive work. Loved it! Great exploration of the theme. I went very slow in the last scene. I didn't want the game to end ;)

This game has a lot more than that, that’s why:

- First of all, we have a really nice artistic direction and I love the black and white coding! 

- Then all the mini game we created are original and nice: I particularly like the one where we have to arrive before the end of the time, even though we’re advancing time! 

- The ambient noises clearly participate as well as the immersions in this little journey through each minute and the daily life! 

- The ending message!! So much in agreement with that and it feels good to call it back anyway! 

It’s really an ace game!

Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in Part 3 @ 58:00 <3 . I loved that each countdown was its own vignette! I almost would have loved even more if there was a complete story line through each one? But each countdown was very captivating in its own and the art was very charming! Loved the overall message as well!

I totally liked my experience here. Made me laugh (-iii- -euuu- -uiii- -eee- -iii-, the angry guys looking mad at me xD), made me cry at the end. I didn't know if I could call it "game" as it didn't have a clear goal with victory/defeat conditions but anyways I had fun so I will say it IS a game and what a cute and clever one. Bien joué la Guilloteam :)

Developer

Merci beaucoup !

Yeah I see what you mean about it being a "game"; maybe something more like an "interactive experience" (which in my book, kinda makes it  a game, but the line is thin haha)?

Submitted(+1)

Less of a game and more an interactive art installation, but an incredibly well done installation. The art was beautiful, characters were expressive and I was curious about the next one, and another one after that. The last one was definitely my favourite followed by a really wholesome message which tied it all very nicely.

Great job, really cool experience with probably the strongest narrative and creative direction I've seen this jam.

Developer

Thank you very much for the kind words, it means a lot. Glad you enjoyed our little game!

This game was a nice break from a lot more frantic games. I'm not sure I've actually seen any other games where you play as the countdown itself yet. This game was so charming, and I love the message at the end, but also each scene itself conveyed its own emotion. The first wobbling grandfather clock scene actually made me slow down a lot because I didn't want it to fall down.  I loved all of the variations that arise based on how fast you count down the timer (I feel like the band changing its speed depending on you is underappreciated). The art style is also beautiful, and I love the sound design. Beautiful game, one of my favorites

Thank you very much!

This is a truly delightful game. Wonderful art style and concept, and the audio goes hand in hand with the rest of the game. The concept of combining countdowns within a countdown is also a very refreshing take.


I'd love to say I have some constructive feedback, but I have nothing. Absolutely beautiful game. I have no idea how you've managed to make something with such a simple presentation carry such a powerful message.

Developer(+1)

A big genuine thank you for your comment! Glad you had a good time!

Absolutely incredible! Everything about this is absolutely amazing! And the message at the end, to round it all up. Perfection! 

Developer

Thank you so much Joe! It means a lot!
