How does your game fit the theme?
Deadlinvania turns “Count Down” into the game’s central resource. The player begins with 25 seconds, and the timer constantly counts down toward defeat. Taking damage costs time, while defeating enemies and breaking certain objects restores it. As the player explores, they unlock abilities that slow or freeze threats, turning every room into a race to manage time and stay alive.

Nice, we have the same take on the theme :D I like the art. Unfortunately, the game is a bit laggy in my browser, so the movement feels off. The moving platforms also move too fast, which makes them difficult to land on. Lastly, the **L** key to freeze doesn't work even though I have 100 energy. Other than that, great job!

I think it has a lot of cool things going for it. I like the interpretation of the theme and the map is well made! I think the movement could be a bit smoother and a tutorial would be nice (I didn't know how to attack).

Nice work! I do admit the font of the J left me to test every button until I found out which one was attack lol. Loved the art style ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )

I like your take on the theme. Good job on finishing the game!

This game is alright but there is a lot of room for improvement. The combat is fine but the fact that jumping slows down your movement is pretty annoying, also you can get stuck in spikes.
