How does your game fit the theme?
DIE ANOTHER SECOND takes "Count Down" both literally and as a pun. Every face of the die is a countdown timer - the one you're standing on ticks toward zero, and when it hits it, you fall. But the die is also a thing you count down: in Descend mode you tag its faces 20, 19, 18… all the way to 1, a countdown you perform from memory against the clock. Two readings of the theme, one twenty-sided object: the die counts down at you, or you count down the die.

I would never have come up with this idea. Very creative and well executed! The idea of a leaderboard is really smart with a player base of this size.
Liked the art style, sound and overall simplicity of the design :) Claimed my place on the leaderboard (really nice implementation - thought about doing that but lacked the time and especially the knowledge :D) but had to admit I am really bad at visualizing/memorizing the faces.
Very interesting game. What grabbed me was the visuals. I really loved the style. Sort-of retro and modern. But the main problem is that it isn't that fun unless one wants to play a memorization game. Also it was a bit hard to understand. Perhaps that's my fault for being tired. Other than that, the game is excellent. Perhaps some background music can improve the ambiance. Very creative concept. I can easily see this turning into a phone app.
very cool art and sound! i'd love to play an expanded version after the jam, one of the best ideas, i like how people are moving further and further away from simple "timer" ideas. thanks for the cool experience
Cool shader, cool concept!
The idea is simply superb! I've never seen a game like this before, and the style and sound effects are also pleasing. The game is superb!
Am i that bad at memorizing :( , btw i loved the art style and the concept so much.
Really cool concept, great graphics, remind me a cool game called Antichamber. Good job!
creative game. and I like the added leader board. cool way to get engagement
Cool concept! The post processing is really well done.
Well designed! The presentation is very subtle and pleasant. It's an interesting idea to play with time and try to recall what was where or to strategically deplete the sides!
super cool graphic, a bit confusing at start, but fun still
