I really like the art style! I found the arrow section quite difficult to get past. Maybe you could replace the instant teleportation with a knockback or a push that sends the player backward instead of all the way back to where they started the jump.

Overall, it's a very unique idea, and I really enjoyed it!

This is one of the best takes of the Count Down theme and one of the most unique and original games of this jam. Great work !

Neat idea, the timer also gives some sense of urgency (anxiety haha). Good job!

Sadly I couldn’t seem to jump, but I liked what I saw and heard

Try purchasing the jump upgrade after collecting some coins!

Oops. Will do!

Really fun!

I love that the game is both hard and requires skill but you can always grind a bit to make it easier.

The arrows can be very punishing I think they should be a bit more apart especially in the last level, but it was satisfying when I finally beat it.

Ace work! The upgrades and progression kept me playing and trying to get better. My only critique would be the arrow shooters, which would bring your run to a halt if you had unlucky positioning, as you would remain stuck in place and be hit by the next arrow before recovering.

simple loop is the best. upgrades are meaningful enough to keep going. kudos!

Holy cow! This game is great!

this was awesome!!! progression felt great and upgrades felt meaningful i really enjoyed it, and i was addicted lol. the only frustrating part was sometimes once i got hit by arrows since i would get frozen i would just get stuck in a loop of getting hit by never ending arrows and then just die without being able to recover. great work!

game is very loud, would love a volume slider

the player controller is a bit buggy and will sometimes continue to go the opposite direction i'm holding for a whole second,
arrows sometimes would hit me even if i was three whole tiles or more above them, 
the camera would move WAY away from where i was looking and it made me feel sick to not have it centered on my character, i couldnt see if there was anything below me ever,
the half slab platforms not allowing you to jump through them made the map feel suffocating
all of these in tandem were very frustrating and sadly made the game unfun to pilot for me

other than that there was a bit of an issue where i just kinda spammed left right instead of exploring since the movement felt both too punishing and too janky for me to desire to go out more,

the game itself, removed from these platforming problems that could be wrung out in time, is alright! the simple upgrade and progress system works out, you do often need to upgrade your character before you can make it to the next section, and it seems like you are given some wiggle room on how much you actually need to level up which is good, the hazards do matter and take some precision to avoid, which pairs well with the time-trial perspective of the game, there are bonus areas you're allowed to go for coins but you are never required to go through, the level design itself is good i think! i just wasn't enjoying moving around in the game so much, sadly :(

Really addicting gameplay loop! Two pieces of feedback: When you pick up alot of coins, its really loud because so many sfx are playing at once. I'm not sure exactly how to fix that, but I'm sure there's a way. Also, I feel like it was really hard to control once I got all of the speed upgrades. Those were helpful at the beginning, but later just made it harder.

Fantastic concept! A time roguelike. Loved that instantly you have to think clearly if you greed and try to reach more coins or just play safe and farm near the checkpoint. Could easily be a full game.

Congrats!

Love the artstyle! the gameplay was way too hard for me :(

Submitted(+1)

I really like the gameplay and art. But the player movement becomes really hard and quite uncontrollable on high speed and high jumps.

Submitted(+1)

Very simple idea that was done really well. I thought the character was hard to control towards the end but the game was still really fun. Good art!

Submitted(+1)

I'm not a big fan of platformers to begin with, but this one was really good. The difficulty ramps up quite quickly, but I think that's okay, since there's not a lot of time for level design. However, the way the character slides at high speeds is very frustrating, especially since so much of the later stage needs precision.

Submitted(+1)

The game design is really thoughtful and the flow is quite interesting. That said, the trap design feels a bit too punishing.

Submitted(+1)

Nice idea and cool gameplay! I don't know if it was a bug but sometimes it was moving a little when collecting clocks but overall a very fun game!

Submitted(+1)

This was a ton of fun! Like all jam games, the balance needs a bit of tweaking (THE ARROWS 🫪) but overall super bit of fun!

Really fun platformer! The controls feel really good and the theme is used in a very cool way¨!
