How does your game fit the theme?
Nearly every object in the game has a countdown: platforms vanish when their timer hits zero, bombs explode, drones drop missiles, bosses change modes, and a level timer keeps you moving..
(Optional) What would you like to be called if GMTK features your game?

Pretty cool albeit short game, quite neat simple art style and not so complex mechanics but it’s great the countdown is included in stuffs in the environment (though tbh I just gun through everything). Soundtrack and sound effects are great too.

Down With The CountI love that the countdown is literally baked into the main mechanics, and that both standing AND shooting interracts with the platforms. I can definitely see this being expanded more to more levels and adding more different elements around the core mecahnics.
I found it just a little bit too zoomed in, so if the camera is bit further away, it would be very helpful to see what is around and without it change it too much

Lock in!very nice core mechanics and a lot of possibilites, which there were more levels...

SHOW DOWN at high noonSuch a cute game! The art style and music makes this work so well! If you wrote the music, they are certified bangers! I really liked the gimmick of the falling blocks, but it could have been expressed more in the level design. If you keep working on it, give me the stressy feeling I want, standing on a block, seeing it count down, but having to dodge enemies to jump to the next. Maybe an ammo limit could be nice to add to that feeling? Or a countdown on your gun?
Anyway these are nitpicks, I love it when a gamejam game is playable from start to finish, nice one :)

Ministrelli's Cardboard CircusIt's so cool to be able to shoot at the environment and destroy just about everything. If I had to say something constructive, it would be that the camera takes a little while to follow the player
Really cool concept; I wish there had been more time at the jam so you could have made more levels

Offworld RhythmReally fun little experience! I really liked the art style and sound work of the game! It definitely has potential. My only 2 complaints would be that the jump and movement feel really floaty and slippery. And the main gimmick wasn't really apparent in the level design. Overall pretty fun.

Cave of CountsA super fun platformer shooter game! Great work on the art and sound design too. I WANT TO PLAY MORRRRRE! Looking forward to what you build from here!
Also, very smart design adding lots of count downs in the levels!

May I Meet Youvery good and funny. It's sad that there's so little content but i understand that it was only 4 days... GOOD!)

Seconds Before The BreathI feel like this game is the representation of a good game jam submission: the game feels very polished, the level design was meticulously considered and the theme was implemented into the game effectively. A very well rounded submission!
Submitted
Countdown Metropoliscool game, I like how optimised it is. Shooting blocks to make them count down faster was a nice touch
Submitted
Rapid Unscheduled DisassemblyThis was fun and satisfying to play! Good submission! Would look forward to an extended version post-jam!
