From what I see the art look minimalistic and there is a cool-looking CRT filter. I couldnt play yet cuz im on mobile, but im adding this to my collection. Love to see others make retro-styled games too!

Very interesting idea! Though I do find collecting the crystals a bit distracting; I ended up mostly avoiding them so I could focus on counting. Maybe if they were a bit easier to scoop up? Otherwise definitely one of the most unique games I’ve seen so far!

44 Seconds Till DeathNice, simple game (if you can count). Overall great experience!

Ultra-Secret Space ProgramInteresting game mechanic. I gotta say that there was definitely a sudden difficulty spike. Would have been nice to get slightly more slowly used to the counting. And making the gems also blue is a weird choice in my opinion, unless it was your intention to have them be easily confused with the blue arrows.
My memory is trash, so it was kinda hard for me. I also found the jump sound oddly satisfying. I was kinda shocked when the shopkeeper dissed me; that was a cool little detail. Overall, nice simple game :D

Splash BlastI like the simplicity of it! The sprite animations look very clean and the sound effects were nice and satisfying!I did get a little stuck figuring out the controls at first, I think if you added some keyboard controls for the buttons that would be nice. I also liked the sassy shop keeper lmao.

Get That Dog!Nice concept to use for the jam's theme. It's quite difficult to get the shards so the items are actually pretty costly. Counting the actual arrows get super difficult and I just end up estimating which somehow is correct most of the time. Still a lot of polish went into this! It's a fun experience.

ParallelityNice game! I found it kinda tough to pick up the shards on the way down, and eventually perished to my short term memory, but it's an interesting interpretation of the theme.

Click ClockNeat game! I love how the gems are used to buy upgrades but that they distract you from counting.
