How does your game fit the theme?
COUNT DOWN is both the threat and the resource: the run begins with a literal 10-second countdown, but every target the player counts down adds time back. As the clock drains faster over time, the player is always fighting one countdown by creating another.

this was genuinely awesome! I hope I could shoot other types of creatures like chickens lol. Personal best 26.
The SFX were great. Loved the simplicity of the game and the art style with it. Nice work (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)
Very simple but the sounds made it quite addictive. One suggestion is to get rid of the buildup of dead bodies. It makes aiming for the actual dudes much tougher.
Cool! PB is 37
Nice job, it was a fun little game.
Very simple but very fun game!
Fun lil game
this feels like an arcade game
Cute! A well implemented game idea.
I ironically felt that it was getting easier as the game went on because there were more targets, but then I could also tell that each target would give me less time back. If this could have been telegraphed to the player a little more intuitively, I think that would have made for a more satisfying game experience. Maybe have the count down tick by proportionally to the number of enemies on the screen?
Simple yet enjoyable game ! I got to 41 I don't think I will get any higher ^^
Nice idea to transform countdown into count down too :D
Fun little arcade game. The art was simple and appealing, and the gameplay was very easy to understand. The sound effects didn't entirely fit, and for the theme, it would have been fun to have them dress as nobles (taking counts down), but overall, very well done
It's fun to try to keep up the pace and keep your timer above 0. A unique idea that is a fun challenge. One thing I didn't like was that once you build up a pile of bodies, it's hard to tell where the targets actually are. Making the bodies fade or giving the targets outlines or something would help.
A short and fast-paced game. But it’s fun. A nice game to play in between other things.
Loved the style and the polish for the audio. Some power-ups or special events would be nice.
Great style, it's really nice to watch the characters hop around.
It's fun, but I got overwhelmed by the fast spawning TT
Very simple and short game, but it’s fun!
pretty solid small game!
shot some people, game of the year
Would have been nice to get upgrades... bigger bullets or faster shooting. Overall, fun game!
