Really cool gameplay idea! It was genuinely fun ahah.  The art style is super pleasant too. One small thing though: when you pause between rounds, the buttons are a bit covered

Thank you for playing our game! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sadly we didn't leave ourselves with enough time to play test as much as we wanted too. So this slipped through the cracks. Thank you for pointing it out and we will definitely be fixing it in our after Jam patch!

Really good game!a simple concept done really well! i really love the artstyle and the different opponents,

I liked the reveal too

(i lost the game to the last opponent because i false started when the clock was at 0:007 in the 90 second round and didn't feel like trying again)


Overall very enjoyable! good job!
