How does your game fit the theme?
Perfect Zero's main mechanic is literally a timer that counts down and your objective is to stop that timer at exactly 0.00. As you progress, more timers run simultaneously, each with different behaviors. The whole challenge is juggling multiple countdowns at once and landing each one at the precise moment it hits zero. The tighter your timing, the higher your score.

This is such a mechanically strong one to deliver within the 4 day limit, congratulations. The minimalism is the biggest strength, the elements speak volumes with how they play with each other. Everything feels very tactile and responsive, will be sinking hours into endless for sure.
Very cool game. Stressful, but one of the best uses of the theme in the jam that I've seen. It was hard to remember what each timer did , but in the end I had a lot of fun getting good perfects. Great game, and I hope you can check out my game too!
simplicity is genius!
A simple yet stressing design
Had really fun trying to perfect the levels. Endless is just pure chaos. Overall really polished and impessive that you managed to do all that in 4 days. Good job
Thanks! I made the perfect score section in high scores for this purpose only. It's great to see someone use that as motivation to perfect their own scores. Feels rewarding! Thanks again!
Got 17K in endless. That got pretty chaotic in a really satisfying way. I'm impressed how much variety you got out of this seemingly simple idea and turned it into something unique.
Thank you for the kind words! That's the highest score I've seen till now. Great job!
Lovely juice with this one, the noises and animations are great. I have played a couple games in this jam where you have to stop a timer at zero, and I think this is the best, because the concept of managing more than one at a time (rather than being just a simple reaction test) is very smart, and you expand on that mechanic to make into a proper roguelike. Great entry!
You bestow upon me a high honour! Thank you!
Simple but very effective, endless mode is definitely the most fun for me. Also, love the sound effects, simple, yet so satisfying!
Oh god, i'm really bad at this.. Anyways, i like the game! It's satisfying, but also hard. Looks very polished for a jam game.
Very nice!
Very satisfying with a very osu-like meditative quality to it, I love the minimalist approach
Thanks a lot!
Super satisfying and kind of addicting to play! Solid work!

Thank you! Addictive was the goal😂
Love the gameplay, kinda hard for me to keep track of so many timers and rules. Loved the music of the game!
Thank a lot!
The polish on this game is absolutely crazy. Damn!
Thanks! Polish took the most of the time, I'm glad you like it.
Hee-Ho. A really addictive game. Great idea with the countdown theme
Thanks a lot!
The perfect game how did you even create this much stuff in 4 days

Thanks a lot for your comment! Mechanics wise, the game is very simple. The mechanics were done on day 1. Spend 3 out of 4 days on polish and adding more juice.
Damn, great game, feels so polished it could even be released
I'd play that on my phone for real xD
Thanks a lot for your comment! You can play it right now too on your phone. It might be a little janky but will work.
I'll try that either later or tomorrow, thats so cool!
Great game loved it
Could you rate my game too
Thanks! Liked your game too!
