A creative concept, definitely didn't notice the massive clock counting down the first time around. It, for some reason, reminds me of Payday and the kind of tasks you'd have to do there. Great concept, executed well!

Nice idea, music and sound really fit well and the character controller feels very fluid as well

Really nice vibe and feeling of the game. I got a little confused at the start because I was looking in the wrong direction :P

But then on my next run I managed to complete the game :) Really satisfying with the sound and the cutscene when winning.

Great job!!

Very fun take on the theme! Having to time different fireworks to different timers was tough, but rewarding to see it all go off successfully. Nice work!

cool premise! Countdown was kind of buged for me but I still had fun!

I really liked the audio on this one! The countdown from the crowd is fun, same with the cheering / ‘Happy New Year!’. I noticed that sometimes they would often make a sad noise when I had perfect timing though.

The platforming added some challenge, but I felt the countdown was a little too fast where even a single mistake could cost you. Maybe that’s by design, though! I just thought the skill curve was steep.

Great work! :)

Our submission is here (not linked by Itch for some reason?)

Thanks! Maybe the 2nd level is a bit hard, yes. Sorry for that. The audio was also my favorite part of making this game ;)
