How does your game fit the theme?
Count Me Dead uses the "Count Down" theme as its core mechanic. Each duel is a race against a ticking timer: players must wait for the countdown to end, then react instantly to outdraw their opponent. Shoot too early and you lose. React too late and you lose. The countdown creates the tension and defines the entire duel experience.

My only comment on the gameplay is that at first i didn't understand that the timer continues when the speech bubbles cover it. But other than that this game clearly shines in the art, narrative and Audio aspects!

while the gameplay is simple, it has an incredibly polished and charming artstyle. I'm really impressed that this game is put together in just 4 days!

I played this on stream last night, but I only got to the third level because I had to go. 
I'm SO GLAD I played it again today. The final boss is a treat! Such a nice polished game, from the art to the audio!

I absolutely love everything about this game and how you where able to take the simple countdown and come up with so many creative and challenging mechanics, tying each of the characters to one. The art, theme and music elevate this into an enjoyable experience that kept me coming back to defeat everyone and complete the game. congratulations team on a well made, fantastic game.

Unbelievable polished and fun! Can't get over the clever ways it plays with the UI! Really challenging and rewarding, especially with the colorful characters, writing, and gorgeous coat of paint over the whole thing. Definitely one of my favorites!

Peak gaming, loved the characters

Wow this is an amazing game! I love all the different ways you make the timer unique, from just hiding it to subtracting time and more! The narrative is amazing, and the artstyle is incredible! My one and only issue is that it was hard to tell that the timers were different during the final fight, so I was shooting when a seven showed up on any timer, but once I figured that out it was great. I also love all the meta references there are, they're really well done!
