How does your game fit the theme?
Count Me Dead uses the "Count Down" theme as its core mechanic. Each duel is a race against a ticking timer: players must wait for the countdown to end, then react instantly to outdraw their opponent. Shoot too early and you lose. React too late and you lose. The countdown creates the tension and defines the entire duel experience.

It's impressive what you were able to do in 4 days, a lot of ideas for a mechanic that seems simple initially, really excellent work! The last one was hard, but I still managed to win :-)

Wow, this game is so fun! The art style is perfect!!! ... It's a shame that sometimes the dialogue bubbles cover the timer, but otherwise it's a great game.

I think this is intended to make you have to count yourself

Bro, that work is amazing! Super polished! I love the mechanics and how you managed to play with them, my favorite entry yet!

Hey, really nice !

I had to step up for the last boss :D

We have similar mechanics, and somehow the theme choice and the art direction make them feel so much different !

Nice game !

Love love love how the enemies each have unique ways of messing with the rules of the game. Took me a few tries to beat each of them and it was enjoyable without becoming frustrating! Art is also super nice to look at and I'm always a fan of the classic choppy text sounds ♥

I cant believe how much polish this already has. You guys did my dream of making 5 bosses in a game jam

Submitted(+3)

Really cool art! elegant and smooth, I loved it!

This game is so fun! Art style hardcarries, but don't think this is just another quick draw game. Fun mechanics in every battle that make it feel like a new experience!
