How does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme "Count Down" by making the bomb timer the core of the defusal gameplay. Players must perform actions at specific moments in the countdown, often relying on their own mental countdown when the timer is hidden.

Love that game, the idea of not being able to see the timer because you turned the item really sells it for me. It is really well designed.
The art is nice, so is the audio. The complete lack of menu is very nice, it keeps the atmosphrere all throughout the game
Great atmosphere, felt like an old detective movie :-)
This game is so good, oh my god, literally peak. Peak story first of all, love the fact that you went in the bomb defusal direction, love all variety and how the different parts of diffusing the bomb worked, love the music, the attention to detail, how the camera moves. Wow, I'm just crazy impressed. Bravo
Such nice feel to the gameplay, just looking through the finals, clipboard and the bomb, all feels great, game juice is very good here, I also really like the gameplay itself and the visuals are also amazing, top notch, great game!
This game is super cool! Big shoutout to sound-designer lol.
Bombs are designed really good, it was engaging interacting with them from the first one to the last. Good job!
Very well finished, you chose a good scope and succeeded to go through it
I spent time exploring the menu, looking for small juicy movements ahah
The gameplay is also very fun, having to think on a plan before hitting that big red button :)
The attention to detail on the radio is something that always makes me happy. Awesome game, really polished and well thought! Congrats
Just reporting in,(Windows): firefox: black screen, chrome: seems to work but its got a white cover over it unless fullscreened, in which case it seems like inputs aren't in the right places (I only have a widescreen), so clicking on the paperclip seems to do nothing except move my POV to the center? Sadge, but I've watched a friend play it and it was fun so rated based off that
Huh that's odd .... hitting the paper clip did not load the bomb in?
the aesthetics were great. and I love the animation when the bomb blows up and you go flying haha. I didn’t beat the game, but the tension you feel with just having to do a few instructions under pressure was really cool. It felt great when I finally got the timing to flip the bomb and do the purple switch
I got a black screen with Windows Firefox. I dunno why that should be an issue as that will even run WebGPU.
most other web browsers (like chrome will work) Yeah i got no clue.
holy smokes...
AMAZING game! Not too difficult, not too easy, awesome artstyle, cool character, very polished, atmospheric audio, overall great vibe and a very enjoyable game. Loved it.
I really enjoy this game Well done
Please rate my game Flip it
Cool idea and nicely polished game. The sound design is great and I love that you added personality to the playable character.
Very nice game! Loved the atmosphere, the voicelines and it was overall a fun experience, great job!
love the overall setup it feels very immersive and the gameplay trains memory so im all for it played till last level good job!
Amazing, I like the voice and the radio
I was able to diffuse all 10 bombs. I the voice acting was really God, every time I died the voice line matched my thoughts. I wish there was an ending cutscene though. Really good game!
Damnn I really felt the pressure, 5/5 for creeativity.
I couldn't defuse all the bombs but it was fun to try!
Really cool. I could feel the tension rising with each bomb. Looks really great too
Very impressive for a Jam project, as others have said it reminded me of "keep talking and nobody explodes"
