How does your game fit the theme?
The theme "Countdown" is woven into every part of the gameplay. Every platform has its own countdown before it collapses, forcing players to constantly plan ahead and make quick decisions. Instead of racing against a single timer, players must survive in a world where every step has a limited lifespan.

Nice use of theme, liked this one.
creative game! smart design, i was engaged. i think it would have been nice to see it get harder over time? it felt like once i got the hang of it, i could keep going for as long as i wanted, and i just died from bad luck from nothing spawning next to me?
it's tricky to balance luck and difficulty in a way that feels fair.
Thank you! We're happy to hear you enjoyed it! That's very fair feedback. We can definitely see how the game could use more progression, and we'll keep that in mind if we revisit the project.
Cute game and well executed concept!
I got 3 achievements :D This was the most creative interpretation of the theme I've seen so far! This game was very well designed! It did feel a little bit like I lost due to bad luck not getting a tile to spawn next to me. As others have said, I would've loved to have seen the game evolve somehow over time while you play. Maybe even just having the countdowns tick down faster. Great game overall, thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot! That means a lot to us! We're glad our interpretation of the theme stood out. And thanks for the feedback~
I liked this one. The art is solid and the vibes are great. Keeping track of which tiles are safe and how long you have while trying to maneuver an ever changing map really gets the brain working lol. Good job on that! The audio could’ve used more love, but it’s not really the focus of the game. Congrats on the submission!
Awesome game, gotta keep track of which tiles would last the longest! Almost a bit of a memory game. Quite addicting. The art and music is also amazing. 10/10 love it overall
Amazing game but i may have found it a bit too easy, maybe a shorter time between the blocks turning red and them falling? Anyway really cool and hop eu can check mine out!
The game is quite cute and unusual, you can get hooked for 15 minutes
Good concept, game started to wear thin after 90 seconds or so, needed an extra element at around that point to hook the player. Something to build in going forward.
Very cool game, failed first game because i tried to move with WASD but after i realized i have to use the mouse i was able to live for three minutes and had a great time. really liked the art and the music, very well done!
Fun, but I would have loved some more variation in how the platforms and game as a whole works.
I really liked the art, but the gameplay is a bit too simple. If you plan to continue working on this game, maybe you can add power-ups/debuffs to shake things up every once in a while.
Game was pretty fun and tough enough that it took me a few tries before I got a good run!
My best time was 147.9!
Quite simple--right now the only challenge really is remembering the numbers after they disappear, which wasn't really enough difficulty to keep me engaged--but I think you've built a solid base to add onto or iterate from. I liked the character design!
Thanks a lot! We appreciate the feedback! We agree there's plenty of room to expand on the core gameplay, and we had a lot of ideas we couldn't fit into the jam. Anyways, our little Gloomkin is happy it gained a new fan!
Love the game!
overall def not bad!!! could definitely use some more polishing (i think there were no sound effects at all), and the gameplay seems a bit too basic
Nice art style, simple and effective !
survived 87.2 seconds. cute little challange.
I survived 100 seconds. RNG was pretty much on my side, unless you tweaked it in code. Anyways, a pretty cool game
Cool little idea, simple but fun. Also like the artstyle.
