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.

the last boss feles like sans how he bands the rules to get you to stop
Hands down my favorite entry this year! Incredible art and amazing humor. Super creative twists and takes on the core loop. The last boss was so creative oh my god. Amazing work, hope to see this one in the video :))
Honestly one of the best jam games I've ever played. You nailed everything about the game from the style, dialog, art, characters, audio, and the game is a lot of fun as well. I love that each enemy is unique and has a different way of messing with you and the countdown. This game deserves top 10 in the jam in my opinion!
I also can't believe this was all made in 4 days. Absolutely incredible! 🤩
This is my favourite jam entry I've played yet. A simple countdown mechanic with enough intersting gimmicks and changes. The writing was great, the art was great, it felt smooth. Very fun, great job!
Very delightful game with amazing art and very good humorous story and interesting twists on basic game mechanics
I'm counting for my life, I enjoy the game so much, very polished and gorgeous game, great job!
Easy 5 stars in all categories, would not be surprised if this is a top 10 game or even wins it all. I loved the final fight and how creatively the rules kept bending and changing. Congrats on making a game like this in 4 days!
Such a cool take and literally everything felt spotless. 5/5 on all fronts.
This is really incredible for a gamejam! Hats down!
Very cool game! The art was stunning and the narrative is pretty good!
Incredible game, the narrative was charming, the characters were extremely well written for such short interactions, and the game mechanics themselves with the diegetic character interactions are top notch. Congrats, one of my favourites so far!
Incredible game! A simple but very well executed mechanic, and the visuals are stunning! Congrats!
Absolutely stunning game. I’d be surprised if it isn’t top ranks in most categories.
Incredibly fun game with a lot of different mechanics to keep the shootouts spicy, not to mention the amazing narrative, visuals, and sound design! Had a blast, incredible entry to the jam!
Really fantastic game, I love the art and story. Not sure if this is intentional, but a lot of the characters reminded me of One Piece, which is always a good thing
This is a really great game! One of the greatest games I’ve ever played! The story-rich aspects, the tricky countdowns and the rulings, and the enemies were really creative! There’s also the artwork and the effects which really fits the cowboy theme of this game! The outro was a little too goofy but I like it that way. Really great game, fantastic job!
Mano acredito que seja brasileiro tambem, fizemos quase o mesmo jogo, pelo menos a paleta é quase igual kkkkkkk, jogasso mano parabens!

Incredible execution and polish, wow!
you guys did amazing, really good use of your time! I will be following your future work
This game was super dope! Well polished and full of personality! I definitely couldn't figure out the rules in the last level but all in all it was very cute how every character messed with the countdown. So simple, but so effective, great game!
