It was fun! The twist of moving back and forth and stopping right before the zero was cool. In a rhythm game, of course, music plays a big role, and this one nailed it.

Submitted

Such a simple idea, but the execution is excellent ! The game is well polished and a lot of fun to play. Congrats !!!

I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Level 7 in particular put me into a hypnotic state. The art, music and effects were incredible. It felt like some kind of cognitive experiment/test. Great work!

Submitted

Very impressive execution of such a simple and effective idea... I'm jealous!

Really well done, loved it.

Submitted

Very challenging!! The variety and constant changes made this feel more like a test of reaction time than an actual rhythm game at times, but that isn't really an issue just something I didn't expect. Still a very cool game! The visual polish is especially impressive, and the sound design really adds to it. Good work!

Submitted

Damn your game is good ! the variety in the countdown and the sound are especially top notch ! somehow, level 5 really f- me up, I couldn't get past it, but I think that's a skill issue on my part :p

From one fellow rhythm game-related jam creator to another, hats off to you!

I love how you tackled taking a rhythmic countdown and bringing it down to it’s knees with all twists and turns. Complete with how juicy everything looks as well (even though my visual accessibility alarms are ringing constantly and you already warned me this xD)

Though I think the roman numeral one should be one stage later since I find the one after it a lot easier than the roman one.

Wow, that very last one is absolutely dastardly for sure, especially for the rhythmically inclined… (me)

Love the art and audio! YOU COOOKED!!

Submitted

Of all the "countdown rhythm games" I've tried so far, this has had some of the best polish as far as gamefeel goes, fantastic work!

Submitted

Very nice!

Some of these seem physically unreactable on first try. I don't know if that's intentional (I stopped after running into a few of them), but I'm guessing it is lol

Duuude, well done, the game looks so good and the sound design is perfect. From the songs to the key?-matched numbers it sounds really good, the use of the numbers switching to create a music is als oreally fun.

I finished the game and thought it was a lil hard but fun!

Submitted

The game is really juicy. But I felt frustrated when the pace of the countdown was constantly lying to me :(

Submitted

Wow! The game is the embodiment of juice, really enjoyed it. Very addictive and visually pleasing game, Definitely one of my favorites so far

Submitted

Love it, and big thanks for the flashing lights warning, good one

I'm going to be seeing these numbers in my dreams. I loved this game, challenging, visually pretty, easy to understand. Fantastic job!

Submitted

VERY clean, very addictive. Love a good rhythm game like this!

Submitted
