How does your game fit the theme?
[SPOILER ALERT!] The countdown isn't represented by a timer, but by the player's own body and world. Every race brings the protagonist closer to the end of their life. As the disease progresses, the player gradually loses abilities, the cheering crowd fades away, the stadium transforms into a hospital, and the world slowly turns white. The player is constantly counting down toward the inevitable, yet they can still do one thing: Just Press W

W GAME AND THEME if you can work on the map development a bit this would be so cool Gj bro God bless and pls/rate mine if you have like 2 mins fr that all you need =)
Really cool experience, went in without reading the description and I'm happy I did! Great audio direction. One of the most interesting takes on the theme I've played all Jam!
Ominous. I appreciate when games make the creative choice of no HUD. Turns them more into art. This portrayed dread and inevitability well. The visual and sound choices really complemented each other. I particularly enjoy when games use silence in places where silence doesn't belong - a "something's wrong" tool. Well done!
i was in coma? nice running u can improve it its good
This games does everything is sets out to do really well, I liked the story it told while playing and the integration of the heart-rate monitor beeping was clever. Well done!
(it took me way longer than I'd like to admit to figure out that you had to jump over the hurdles)
Really appreciate it! Your experience will help me polish the game
a short yet deep game, i love it.
A surprisingly subversive and enjoyable game, well done!

Love the game, and bro as a solo dev I think it's outstanding!
This was kinda scary ngl. someone telling me not to run and then running anyway and getting hurt is exactly what happens to me doing track in real life lol.
Thanks for playing my game. I didn’t intend for it to be scary at first, but I really appreciate your review
This game instantly gave me a midlife crisis

Probably the darkest narrative so far, but quite creative in its essence. Definitely worth playing
