Hello from discord!
this is a very funny game, I liked playing the mini-games, but at first I didn’t quite understand what was required of me! I also really liked the art, does everyone understand what the reference is there?!?!?!? ahzahahaha
thank you, I liked it
I also want to ask you to honestly tell us your impressions of our game!
Loved the take of the theme! Great game, highly polished, I'm amazed you did all of this in the span of the game jam!
the art is unbelievably good, so polished and impressive for a 4 day jam!! awesome job
really pretty art. I played mostly freeplay as I found the coutndown between minigames a little bit tedious
Appreciate the feedback! We added a “skip” button if there were no more minigames to remember to help with some of that tediousness, but there was definitely more refining we could have done if there was more time.
The art looks incredible. I loved how you even gave numbers their own faces (reminded me of numberjacks) I have to admit the gameplay was really difficult to figure out; instructions vanished quickly, but then I realized it had to match the actual count on the bubble speech. Played the freeplay version; have to say I love the unique idea and the music is awesome too! (Also, I love the way you really tied the minigameplays to one countdown, it's genuienly cool!) ✌️
Really awesome game! Makes me think of warioware :). Especially love the art absolutely incredible (not to mention the fact that there's a complete bonus game included too! Crazy work)
Get well soon Count! Enjoyed this one, it's like a chill Warioware. I couldn't quite figure out the shaving minigame.
Love that you all shipped a full warioware game in 96 hours!
The art and sound design for this game is top notch. I have no idea how you guys made this in only 4 days. You guys must have been working overtime, because the game is great. I actually just spent over 30 minutes playing your game and enjoyed every second of it. Great game guys!!!
Great art and style. There is a nice variety of mini games as well.
Hey this is really amazing especially the art and the tie in of minigames. I especially like that the minigames fit the number they are supposed to represent. I did find the game a bit difficult personally however but once I got the hang of it, it was fun!
The art style in this is insane! The mini-games are fun too. Honestly such a strong jam entry, awesome work!
I made a jam game too if you get a chance to check it out—it's a local platformer where you fight to steal each other's time!
Creative Idea definitely. Liked the artwork. The gameplay was not my taste though. But It definitely gets high high creativity rating from me.
Fun concept and great art. I love the element of strategy in picking which minigame to set to each number.
Issues:
The mirror minigame being the same no matter what number you pick for it. (That might be intentional, but I feel like it needed to be communicated better that the minigame doesn't change in difficulty based on the number).
The text explaining each minigame should remain on screen for a bit longer.
Finally there should be a better telegraph to show you how much time you have on picking a repeating minigame.
Thanks for playing!
The mirror game does change based on count. The mirror is broken into 9 shards and the count determines how many shardsare visible which changes how much of his head outline you can see. But yeah that was the last one we got to for polish, and it could definitely used some more love. But hey we only had 96 hours !
This game is great, I love how it looks and plays so well! Everything feels good and super polished 10/10!
great art and fun mini games
I really like the concept that the Count needs help remembering how to count, and the memory game aspect of it for the player is great ✨ludonarrative harmony✨ but I mostly played in free play since I don’t understand the backpack minigame at all. The art is awesome and I love the copyright-safe “ah ah ah”s as he’s counting.
Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you still got to enjoy most of the minigames! The premise of the backpack minigame was to choose the number (1,2,3,4) who’s quantity matched the count. For example if the backpack minigame was selected on the count of 5, the correct answer here would be the 1’s (there are five 1’s).
High vote on creativity just for the title! I had fun :)
