How does your game fit the theme?
I decided to create a Count Down game with no numbers. The light at the end of each level quickly flickers out, meaning you must get to it before your own light goes out as well.

My only complaint is that there aren't more levels. Really fun, and you got the difficulty just right.

Great concept! Very strong! 

The sound effects are so right for the vibe of the game, very, very in theme! 

If I can suggest an area for improvement, it would be on the map itself, since it always looks the same; you don't feel like you are really moving or going anywhere. Having a precise visual point to have a distinction could be nice! (Like an NPC at some point, a different color of stage ect..) 

Congrats on your first game!

Very interesting concept! The count down of the main character gives a tense feeling, but the exploring mechanics itself is already interesting enough! Well done as a first game!

That's a really cool game! The mechanics are really interesting, I like how there are two countdowns, yours and the one of the skull...thingy you need to get.

Really good game, love the mechanic! Simple, easy to understand, and could easily be expanded on in the future! Very well done!!

Wow. what a great game! I didn't expect it to be as frantic as it was at all, but it was really cool having to do a little micro-speedrun of each level. The sound design is also excellent!

Thanks Piers! I probably should swap "precise" for "frantic" in the description based on what I've been hearing lol, but I'm glad you enjoyed!

Woah this is a really well polished and good feeling game. I don't have anything bad to say about it. 
And it looks like your first game on itch.io? Well done!

Developer

Thank you! And it's the first game I've ever made actually! I'm glad you enjoyed :)

Very interesting game! Nice use of the countdown theme without any numbers. Some of the levels were very hectic, but very cool game!

Developer

Thank you!! I should probably have more levels and make the difficulty slowly scale up, but I'm still proud of how it came out. Glad you enjoyed it!
