Ranked from 136 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?
COUNT DOWN is both the threat and the resource: the run begins with a literal 10-second countdown, but every target the player counts down adds time back. As the clock drains faster over time, the player is always fighting one countdown by creating another.

Simple, interesting, addictive. Loved it

Simple and relaxing. Good job!

Simple game that can be fun. Could do with some counter-mechanic to prevent spamming shoot endlessly 

Submitted

fun game and really simple game i like

Submitted

a really funny little game! 

Submitted

fun little game, I really liked the art, I found it super cute and appealing

Got a score of 41, fun little spam click game!

Submitted

Very simple and fun game. I feel like there should be some balancing made, because the gameplay loop lasts under 1 minute unless you are really good. I noticed that you can abuse the shooting speed by pressing both  the space bar and left click, so if that's not intentional it's worth checking out. Good luck on your future games!

Only using the keyboard controls is hard mode.

Interesting idea! I want to know more about why I'm shooting these poor people haha

This game is so dark

Submitted

Good fun. Shame it was over so quick. Want to keep playing.

With a bit more time, you could have put a rotation on the idea (like adding upgrades) to give it a hook.

Submitted

Very simple but fun! My only complaint is that it’s way too short — I would have liked to play more!

Submitted

Great idea, but i would have liked for there to be a way to sort of pause and buy upgrades and stuff, turn it into a roguelike and this could have a lot of potential. Anyway really cool, and hope you can check mine out!

Submitted

Pretty good, though the fact that enemies come in very quick means the game loop doesn’t have enough time to shine.

Submitted

Simple, but that means it was real quick to pick up. I think it gets a little overwhelming a little too fast - it would be better if it scaled up more smoothly. Also you should have the time count down faster if you shoot but miss - the optimal strategy is to just spam click which doesn't feel very skillful.

Add a few upgrades and variety to enemies and it could be really engaging.

Submitted

this was genuinely awesome! I hope I could shoot other types of creatures like chickens lol. Personal best 26. 

Submitted

The SFX were great. Loved the simplicity of the game and the art style with it. Nice work (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

Submitted

Very simple but the sounds made it quite addictive. One suggestion is to get rid of the buildup of dead bodies. It makes aiming for the actual dudes much tougher.

Submitted

Cool! PB is 37
