Congrats on your first game jam ! Polish this a bit more, make sur it's playable without a mouse and that's your first game done.
Although short, simple and easy, I find the use of letter symbols as game elements charming, haha!
The controls were really good and smooth, but the game is a bit too easy and short. Maybe you could add more letters that do something (Like P as portals or V as spikes.).
Having played Nethack, the smooth movement caught me off guard a little. That being said it was short and sweet
Pretty impressive for the first game on a game jam, good small game, way up to go with more content and more stuff like obstacles or level changers perhaps
Great first game jam project! since this is your first gam jam, i will try to give good feedback. The 15-second timer creates immediate tension and fits the countdown theme perfectly. I liked how each level felt like a small puzzle where I had to quickly figure out the correct route before time ran out. It's a simple concept, but it's executed well and stays fun throughout.
Congrats on your first jam. There's still a lot to learn, but completing a game is a good start.
