How does your game fit the theme?
The game fits the **Countdown** theme through its core time-management mechanic. Every action during a run consumes a limited amount of time, and when the countdown reaches zero, the character dies. To survive, the player must explore, gather resources, and return to the safe zone before time runs out. The resources can then be used to improve future runs and gradually find a way to return to life.

The artwork is beautiful, the story and characters add a lot to what is already a great game! I enjoyed the QTE becuase they didn't feel like a chore, i enjoyed it as part of the game :)

Very nice game! You made sure this game had polish, it felt very nice to play for a jam game! Well done!

I've seen a similar game at jam before.

Yours is different in a good way because you have a story, a character, different monsters, and resources.

The other game had good music.

Your game really needs some SFX and VFX to make button presses feel rich and satisfying.

But overall, it's a good game, you're awesome!

I agree about the SFX and VFX; the project really needs them. Thanks for your feedback!

I liked how you could turn the pointer and choose which direction it was going for! Gave it an extra layer of freshness. Overall good concept and I liked the lighthearted atmosphere the game had.

Cool game, the concept is cool and I like the progression of upgrading your tools and harvesting bigger and bigger things. One nitpick though is that the durability doesn't really add anything to the game except dragging it out since you just walk back and buy another tool. Overall though, good submission!

Developer(+1)

You’re right about the tool durability being used to extend the gameplay—it’s a fairly common approach in games, and that was essentially the idea here. Thank you so much for the feedback!

I really like the gameplay loop in this game, having to spend time with the tool to eventually gain more time keeps things interesting. What impressed me the most is the art, the fact that you were able to draw all the assets by yourself  is incredible.

Good musical accompaniment and art style, I really liked the fact that we spend and earn time, it has a rather interesting meaning, Good job!

I think it would be even better if there were more sound effects and visual feedback when the green energy bar is hit in the game. Anyway, congratulations on completing the game! Cheers!

What a fun game, it felt really good as I got the hang of navigating the multiple circles, super satisfying! p.s. love the screen transision, nice touch

Developer

Love the pixel art style!

Developer

Thanks!

I just want to say, your transition animation is very satisfying!

Your gameplay is also really satisfying. Such a fun and grindy gathering game. And I like the story, and the variety in the gatherables. The keybinds were a little clunky tho, but maybe that's something i would get used to if it wasn't a jam game. Either way, a very enjoyable and relaxing game!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

Really fun mini game for fighting and collecting, it was very creative that the player can switch between the circles, and that there are obstacles in the circles to avoid. In the beginning it was hard to beat the animals, but when i got into a flow state then it became really fun! I also really liked that you added shop items to make the different tasks easier. Overall fantastic game that was fun to get into and beat! thank you for making it.

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback and I am doubly pleased that you completed the game, thank you!
