How does your game fit the theme?
In legal English, a “count” is an individual criminal charge in an indictment. Our interpretation of the theme is “bring your counts down before the countdown is over.” The player has 300 seconds before death (the countdown) to reduce the number of counts against them.

Project RewindAmazing and well-polished work in a 4-day jam! Really enjoy the interconnected puzzles and narratives. Each player can have a different experience even after several playthroughs, which is exactly what an ideal jam game looks like to me. Congrats!!

Life ShiftsHahaha, who knew repenting could be so cute, funny and absolutely anxiety inducing at the same time?
I love the aesthetic chosen for this, it works an absolute treat!
Outside of some scaling issues, this was an absolute joy to play.
Absolutely brilliant job!

Rewind PhysicsExcellent little game! Has a lot of detail and charm! Took me a few tries, but I managed to clear my sins (except I left the faucet running and flooded downstairs…). Great stuff!

Transit Delivery AuthorityBest game i've played in the jam so far. Beautiful narrative, incredible amount of content for such a short time-span, and its so polished too! in love with the artstyle, the idea behind the game, this genuinely doesn't feel like it was made in 4 days. Amazing work!

Count "John Down" in PurgatoryWOW, thank you so much! We’re honestly blown away by your comment. Being called the best game you’ve played in the jam so far is an incredible honor, and your words gave our entire team such a huge boost. 🥹💖
We started out with even more ideas, but with only 96 hours, we chose to focus on the room and phone. Everyone gave it their all and worked almost nonstop from the moment the jam began. Even with a smooth Git workflow and great teamwork, we came very close to not finishing. Thankfully, everything came together during the final six-hour sprint, leaving all of us relieved and almost in tears.
And here’s a little secret—we also hid an ending where you can avoid death entirely! 😉
Thank you again for recognizing all the love and effort we poured into the game. Your comment truly means more to us than we can say!
This is the best game I've played so far. Really love the artstyle, game play. Rated full 5!

Danger In DelayI absolutely loved your game! The art is beautiful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and I had a lot of fun playing it. My only suggestion would be to make the game view a bit larger so players can better appreciate the environment. I also found it a little tricky to get through the doors at times. Overall, great job!

From Zero to PixelThank you so much for playing and for the detailed feedback! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the art, atmosphere, and gameplay.

Thank you again for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! 😊💖
