Ranked from 25 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The theme inspired the core puzzle mechanic: every action pushes the board closer to zero. Instead of simply racing against a timer, players have to think ahead and decide which moves are worth taking as the environment counts down.

Really cool idea for a puzzle game, I could see it being something with so much potential for puzzles and mechanics, loved it :)

Excellent puzzles, one of my top games for this jam, gj!

very cool game

Loved the visuals when the entire map was made up of numbers, such a unique but simple idea for a puzzle game. I loved how there were so many levels that were like "yeah so remember last level? we don't do that anymore" which was so fun!

I like the simplicity of the game. The idea is simple, but it's interesting and engaging to play. Great job!

I really enjoyed the puzzle design - the different hallways with different closed off corridors were fun to think about, as were the final 0/1 puzzles. I do feel like it was more a game of "avoid the 1s" than "avoid the 0s", though maybe that's just how my brain works. :D Visuals were super clear with what I wanted to be doing at any point. Nice job!

Clever idea! I reached the end just as I felt like I was getting the hang of it, but that last level took some trial and error.

Very cool mechanic to build a puzzle game around!

The visual presentation is also really solid. Great work!

I loved those levels with the huge tile map they were so fun!

A simple concept but well executed~ I quite liked the variations from level 8 which were subtle, but always seemed perfectly done to counter the prior approach. 
(One thing I would say is the red/blue flashing during later levels was a little rough on the eyes, but that might just be me...)
