How does your game fit the theme?
Countdown isn't just a mechanic here — it's your health, currency, and score all at once. Every letter on screen is on its own ticking clock, and finding a word is the only way to buy more time.

this game testing my both speed and vocabulary skills... just got a little bit tension when seeing the clock went down so fast... but overall its a nice game! i love the artsyle. keep up the good work!
I had a lot of fun! I enjoy word games, so this hit just the right spot for me. Would love to see something like this continue honestly. I could see modifiers for certain letters granted 2x the time or more if used as a mechanic. Love your game!
Looks great and it stressed me out (in the right way)! I would have liked seeing the timer closer to the letters pool since I had some trouble peeking it and seeing how it was affected by validating the words. Overall a solid entry!
Love the visual style. Very neat game.
Clean cozy art and a creative take on the theme! I wish I could type the letters I saw, but other than that I had a lot of fun seeing how long I could keep the timer alive!
Fun idea, looks really nicely put together, Great job !!
this one had me LOCKED IN. I was making move faster than i could think and it was pretty stressful, great work!
This was a fun challenge!
Really cool concept and the the art is well polished. I had a lot of fun, thanks!
Really well-polished and a cool twist on word games! Good luck in the jam!
Amazingly polished and fun. I like that the timers are incorporated in multiple ways. Well done! :D
Had a lot of fun with this submission, nice work! Definitely would love to have keyboard support so I could type the letters. I like how chaotic it is with all the letters having a different timer, and I'm sure there are so many interesting strategies for saving letters so they don't get cleared. Great job :)
This is so good. Had all my pals shouting letters at me over my shoulder
Simple and fun! I will say the word dropping music felt a bit too 'mysterious agent' vibe hahaha i feel more of a cozy soundtrack could have just made this perfect imo! I kept feeling i had to disarm a bomb! GREAT JOB though <3
Solid concept! If you were to push it further, I'd love the option to be able to type the letters with my keyboard or press delete to clear letters from my current selection - speeding up my ability to process my available letters. I also wonder if there's a way to motivate trying to score longer words despite the timers, as I was constantly doing short words just to keep the tiles - maybe winning / surviving scores need more strategic play. Game definitely looks great already to be sure. Strong premise I'd love to see developed more!
Really nicely polished! Fun concept, well done with nice visuals and music.
This was a fun, stressful word game! Just when I thought I had a word, the counter decided to switch up the letters in the pool and then I didn't have any letters to make a valid word... nice use of the theme in this sense! The game felt very polished, and you even had time for a tutorial. Nice work!
