Epic music, epic opening, gameplay is epic. Love how you made low quality into an awesome boss fight, there are still a few tweaks to be made but overall it's already amazing, great work!

Wow this opening is crazy haha. You must develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D

the scope for this game was greatly decreased as we created it, mainly because this was my first game jam game and full coding experience with a deadline. We originally had plans for different bosses to occur at different times, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00, while the in game hours in between was time to prepare. OBVIOUSLY you can tell that that goal was a *bit* too ambitious. I might work on it in the future, but for now, it is what it is and I'm proud of it as a first game jam game.

Wow, that opening cutscene was absolutely beautiful. I like the idea and the final boss was cool. Good submission!

Using your actual health system as a literal countdown to death is such a creative and high-stakes way to interpret the jam theme! The opening cutscene and the voice acting are absolute cinema, setting up a hilarious and incredibly entertaining atmosphere right from the start. Escaping the evil roses and dealing with Chomper the giant pocket watch makes for an intensely challenging experience that keeps you completely hooked.

Lowkey harder than dark souls. Took me like 8 times to beat the chomper. Opening cutscene was cinema. 10/10 would recommend.

I almost made it harder because I play-tested it so much that it became easy for me. I agree that the intro cutscene is a work of art. Thank you my glorious king(maker of the hit new game Down On Your Luck)

Great voice acting! I'm not sure what I just watched but it was entertaining. 😀 It did not really need the game attached at the end. ♥️
