How does your game fit the theme?
Your countdown, in color. I wanted to combine the fading of color with the idea of a countdown, so that the path the player leaves behind becomes part of the countdown itself. The number in the corner is the obvious countdown. The real one is everywhere.

Super fun concept, good job!

Fun concept for a game, and I liked the different colored glows for telling when the tiles were about to expire! The music was cute too!

What a joyous little game, with the gameplay spurred on by such a lovely bop of a song. The colors are so lovely across the levels, and it's well put together. Nicely done.

It’s pretty easy, but still satisfying to complete. The visuals are pretty clean, the colors are well used both as an indicator and an aesthetic. What I find strange is that the first half of the levels are more about speed, then the second half change one rule and suddenly it’s more about puzzles. In my opinions the later works better, the challenge really makes you think carefully about the path you need to take. Overall it’s a really small, but well designed game. Good job!

Very good concept. Too bad you can finish it in just a couple of minutes, more levels would have been great ! Well done anyway.

Fun game and unique concept. The gameplay is satisfying and I love having to think of the path to cover the most area and my tracks at the same time.

Really cool game, Not goona lie. In the era of story based games. I still prefer to play this type of games, as it make me stress free.

9/10 (cause anything can be improved)

Really fun game! Unfortunately I couldn't get past the third level. I wish it was a little more forgiving in terms of time. Super easy to grok the idea and very visually pleasing.


Update: I came back to this game again because I really wanted to give it another go and I beat it! Really pleasing to play and thanks for making it. :)
