Ranked from 19 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The countdown is more than a timer—it is the central mechanic. Each press counts the world down from high temporal resolution toward 1 Hz. Movement continues through real elapsed time, but fewer moments are allowed to physically exist. To escape, you must decide which moments the world gets to keep.

Fun little game. Emphasis on "little." A bit more would have been nice.

HUGE THANKS to everyone!!! So glad you guys love this game!

I’m also aware the control does have bug which makes it really difficult to control in low refresh rate. I tried to fix that bug before the submission, but unfortunately I was late like 1 hour after the deadline and I couldn’t update the game file…


So I will update the patched version immediately when the voting is over. Thank you so much for playing this game!!!

I loved the idea for this, but the controls seem a bit… hard - otherwise a fantastic game

Agree with everyone else, the idea is super duper strong and the 1 bit look doesnt distract from the gameplay, rather it helps it be more clear. Well done!

Very creative idea and fits the theme well. I think the movement is too wonky and hard to control at lower refresh rates but otherwise very enjoyable

Okay SUPER SUPER SUPER unique concept, probably the most unique and creative I have SEEN to DATE. Insanely cool concept. It took a little getting used to how the lower hertz worked, but once I got that oml I was so sad that it ended after only 3 levels. Really really cool and I hope to see more from it in the future if you decide to make more.

The mechanics are interesting, but the execution can feel a bit confused—the game could use more hand-holding.

The gameplay is pretty fun and the art assets were a really good pick for this game, it really suits it. Nice game

I really liked the way you interpreted count down! I feel like the only critique i have is the difficulty curve is a little inconsistent, and I'd love some music. But overall, it really was a blast to play!

Interesting concept! got a bit confused with the count/tick down mechanic at first, but it's  fun overall.
