Very simple and fun game! Is it inspired from those youtube shorts where they do the same thing irl?

Developer

Thank you! This exactly is the reference!

Very simple but fun game ! I think that the sound design helps a lot with it. I managed to land on the 67 after a few tries

Submitted(+1)

I did the 67 on my first try let's goooooo. Fun game, really got interesting when the timer started fading.

Submitted

This game is amazing! only made it to level 12, but still. I never would have thought a simple timer game would keep me so intrigued

Submitted

This was super cool! It's really clever how y'all took this idea and made so many fun variations. I'm also a fan of the wind in the background, it was quite soothing! Overall, the experience felt very meditative.

I got stuck at 12, but nailed 67 :p

I could probably do this for hours. The relaxing wind mixed with the simple gameplay feels super calming, and I've been juked out multiple times by the various extra mechanics (adding time, hiding timer, etc.) so I never got bored. This is easily one of the most enjoyable jam games I've tried so far.

As a drummer, it was quite enjoyable game. Similar to some kind of a time keeping practice.

Really challenging! I gave up on the impossible level. So hard (always stop at 00:68 or 00:66). Funny how we ended up with a similar concept (although, with artists, we were able to add some funny little details)

Gwaaa! What a challenge! Such a smart take on the countdown, probably the smartest. You're using it to the most literral sense and it works so well! One of the best experience of the jam! Thanks a lot!

Developer

I thought this would be a simple game, just click and get the time between the numbers shown. Then the timer started to fade, other stuff started to happen, and it just kept changing. Really well done, took a simple concept and built a fun and addicting game out of it, had me questioning if I knew how to count

Developer(+1)

ahah it made me think if I knew how to count too while developing it

Submitted(+2)

i felt like one of those pro bomb disarmers. when the time faded I was like oh crap! and started counting out loud! One More Minute!!! by birdyowl 

Developer

You've done so much with such a basic idea, very creative! So many levels as well. You should be proud.

Developer

Very impressive how many ways you take the timer and just how much you do with a number going down. Great game. Also I gotta say this game is such a troll sometimes lol

Developer(+1)
