How does your game fit the theme?
In Party Countdown, the timer isn't just a clock it's the whole threat. The lights cut out and one of the pattern's guests disappears for good. You have to read the crowd and lock in your pick before the countdown erases everyone who fits the rule. Time down means targets down: run out of either and it's over.

The concept and use of the theme is solid. Might be my gold fish memory, but I cannot keep track of everyone in the room, so it made deducing pretty difficult. The highlight of the game for me is definitely the music.

Developer

Thank you so much brother!! :)

It took me some time to understand what was really happening here but after re-reading the description it became clearer. The game is a bit demanding for me and the countdown are very short.

But I really enjoyed the concept and guessing right is quite satisfying. The pixel art is also gorgeous,, I love your style. Good job!

Developer

Love the music and art I love the concept as well. Very good only thing is it wasn't really clear on how to play and I think that might be your bottleneck. I would update your page to reflect that or communicate that better because I was still confused

Thank you so much for your feedback, I'll change the page to explain better :)

Unique idea! It took me a bit at first to figure out what I was trying to do, but once I started looking for the patterns, I was able to win a few rounds. It felt pretty difficult right from the start, especially since you can't see who disappeared after they're gone. The art and music are great!

Developer

Thank you SO MUCH for the feedback :)

I spent the first few minutes playing detective trying to catch a killer before realizing it was actually a visual pattern puzzle about who vanishes next! Totally my fault for skipping the intro lore, but shifting from Sherlock mode to pattern-matching was hilarious. Super fun concept!

Developer

THANK YOOUU, i should have made the instructions clearer :,)

Submitted

Welcome, and do try my game as well. Any feedback is appreciated

Ngl I was trying to spot the killer among them for a few minutes until i realized that I was supposed to spot a pattern among the people and choose who will disappear next, which I supposed was because the instruction lines are randomized each time.

That being said, it can just be on my end bcs I skipped the game theme description (pls forgive me).

Fun idea, trying to spot the pattern was actually entertaining.

Developer

HEY, thank you for the feedback, i thought about doing something like this lol, i think that the instrucions should be clearer

It's a very fun idea. I think I would've liked a bit more ease-in in the first levels, I found the second one already hard enough. But great entry and I love the art!

Developer

Thank you so muuch, didn't had enough time to test the game :( But thanks for the feedback :)

This is a really good idea!

It's executed well too!


In my opinion it's a little too hard but that's probably because my memory sucks.


Good game! the art and music is very good too.
