I like art and music, it work together very well! Whant to see versions with waves as a bigger threats because that visual really deserve deeper gameplay! Good job still!

The idea is great and I like how silly the count looks. There were some issues where I couldn't find the count and I had to reload but the look of the game is amazing! Woud love to see this built out into something bigger.

I wish I had a tiny bit more direction, but I enjoy the idea behind the game. Good work!

Really good music! I did lose track of my count once I got teleported somewhere ;/

I wish the projectiles would fly straight ahead or travel a set distance instead of going exactly where my cursor was.

I also managed to walk out of the map by going to the right on the circular path.

Still very enjoyable and a cool concept!

I like the oldschool vibe of this

Wow so fun! I loved finding the count and figuring out how everything works.

I loved the music! And the idea of protecting the count who is down lol. I did run into a few bugs where it was repeating the level and one time I was able to get into the level without the count following me so I got stuck. Overall, good idea and a pretty fun game!

I loved picking up and putting the count down. Great take on the theme.

A nice twist on the theme! I also think the protection mechanic is a good way to add more depth to the game past just trying to survive to the end.

Quite a fun concept, but it was a bit hard to understand what it was needed to do

The count didn’t spawn for me on level 2, but it’s really cool! I really love the art and effects. I also really like the purple palette.
