How does your game fit the theme?
There are a lot of things counting down. Distance to the 'bosses', number of bosses remaining per level, and the Count (Space Dracula) is Down on the lowest level. Also counting down the distance to planet fall, where he will leave his space ship and unleash space vampire havoc

Neat little game! Also took me a minute but I got there lol! I feel like I would've liked having more stamina, but that's really it. I also really like the cover art! Nicely done!

Took me a handfull of runs to figure out the rules, but once i did, it was quite fun.
I like how each level starts with "hotter colder", and once you have all the keys it flips into trying to get around the npcs.
And memorizing the stages one by one untill i managed to pull them all off in one run was quite satisfying.

Thanks for giving it a look and being patient enough to figure it out. That’s very kind of you.

We were down to the minute on the deadline, we would have liked to make things more clear/add a short tutorial.

One of the trade offs, is that you can spend time Hacking the non boss enemies, so that there are less in your way/trying to trap you, when you have the race to the exit. But time is short before Space Dracula makes planet fall…
