Wow it was fun, like the previous commenter I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would because the gameplay loop is very simple and engaging, and you constantly ramp up the difficulty.

The first time I didn't really understood the feedback meaning there were objects out of the bounds of the camera, forcing me to move. Maybe it could be a more impactful? But that neither made me lose nor stop me from having fun so it's perfect! I also would I liked knowing the number at the end of a run when I lose.

Thank you, it was very fun, it makes you want to play again over and over to train your mental skills!

Great job!

This is very fun! I enjoyed it a lot more than I though I would, but the game crashed(I think when I incorrectly counted?). Other than that, cool concept!

The first game I've played this jam which is actually about counting objects, and I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it! Smooth controls and nice visuals. I kept playing till the game crashed, would have loved to see some stats about my run (like total time survived, amount of shapes counted etc.).  The arena kept scaling at nicely spaced intervals to keep things interesting. But I felt that counting higher numbers does not increase difficulty at the same rate. Some ideas to increase difficulty: counting only shapes irrespective of colour, or vice versa. Or counting a combination of shapes like red stars AND (or MINUS?) blue circles. Well done!

WAYY more people should play your game, it's very fast paced and engaging. It's quick to understand and to play. Incredible work!!!

The platforming felt so solid, great work that. I would totally play a game just with that character’s controls and physics. Creative way of doing counting with the platforming. I do think the game is pretty easy though and I was able to go for a while. I think adding more obstacles would help, like spike traps that reduce your time.

At first, I thought why even have platforming when all I had to do was count.  

Then the game got progressively harder and I realised why you need the platforms, was so fun to play !!!!
