The numbers are very creative, fits the theme very well! Unfortunately, I went through every level only to softlock myself at the very end with the big rocket, I got to the number 7 and fell down, but there was no platform to stand on anymore so I couldn't progress, maybe if the entry door could be used to reset the level that would be good. Also, the falling sound was quite annoying after a while, since it was pretty much the only sound that could be heard the entire game. But overall, very smart level design and again, it fits the count down theme extremely well, good job, hope to see you next year!

Loved how the countdown theme was intertwined with almost all of the level mechanics! Super creative

The mechanics in this game are soo clever! I really like having to start the countdowns/change the timer to change the platforming opportunities. The audio could do with some work, maybe it would be nice to add some random pitch variations to sounds that repeat a lot like the falling down sound, this could make it sounds less repetitive. Overall a great experiencem, I had a lot of fun getting the 3 pieces!

 I got them all! I also made a game with rockets, hope you check it out! 

Developer

Enjoyed the sound design, parallaxing backgrounds, and death animation. Congrats on completing the game jam, hope you develop the idea further.

Developer

Wow, this was very creative!

The number segment platforms really are clever and fun to platform around and you really used them in a lot of ways. As bariers, as disapearing blocks and timing chalanges, navigation chalanges like that maze grid of numbers.

Crazy

Love the art and how cute the robot is as well >w< Nice face!

I guess I just whish they would have more dialogue.

And the music and soundeffects do get a bit grating after a bit

Developer

Yes, better audio and more narrative components would've been great, but we're glad you enjoyed it nonetheless.

Thank you for trying it out and for giving us feedback! :D

I loved the idea of platforming on numbers that count down and the falling sound effect was the best thing I have heard all day. 

Developer

Haha, thank you for trying it out. We're so glad you enjoyed it! :)

Ok, loved the concept of using numbers as platforming segments, and utilising they open and close differently to make traps, is ingenious! Well done, making a nice to play platformer which has nice jump buffers and coyote time! :) 

Developer

Thank you so much! The player controller system is mostly "Ultimate 2D Platformer Controller" by noasey https://noasey.itch.io/ultimate-2d-platformer-controller, but we're very glad you liked it! :D

Love the 7-segment platforming, really cool idea! And I appreciate the amount of close respawn points to prevent having to run back. Main thing I'd suggest is maybe cutting the radius a bit on the mines or increasing the time on them. Was definitely tough to react and get out of the way of them in time without dying.

Developer

And here I was thinking I placed too few of them ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚
Thank you for trying it out and giving us feedback! :D

Enjoyed my time with this game, main character reminded me of rocky from project hail mary. Using count downs as actual platform is really creative and the mechanic is used to its fullest potential. Narrative for a game jam entry is really solid and actually fits the theme. Artwork is simple and does its job well, i want to personally highlight the final cutscene, really liked the artwork there but the lack of sound didn't do it justice. One critique i have is that the audio is rough but overall a good simple game.

Developer(+1)

Haha, it definitely gives Rocky vibes :D
Thank you for trying our game out and for your valuable feedback. Yes, audio could definitely be improved; we kind of did it last minute ๐Ÿ˜…

Really enjoyed the countdown number platform

Great job also with the tutorial text, that was smooth and great to have it follow the player throughout the first section especially. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Love the countdown platforms! Really creative and cool idea! I had some stutters when mines where exploding but other than that really cool level design and fun game keep it up!

Developer

Yes, some optimizations would definitely improve the gameplay experience. But thank you for trying it out and giving us feedback nonetheless! :D

Pretty nice exploration game. I wish it was a bit more immersive, like using some more game juice and audio will definitely help. Loved the funny sounds XD
