How does your game fit the theme?
The player's jump is tied to a countdown displayed above his head, cycling automatically. Sand constantly chases the player from behind, forcing precise jump timing to escape.

The idea is great, including the fact that the player jumps after a timer.
The art is beautiful:)
thank you ☺️
The artwork and music is great! I also love the ideas and think that if you had more time to work on it, it could turn out nicely. Great job!
thank you!!!
The Artwork is amazing! The sound work is decent. The gameplay itself could maybe use a bit of polishing, but the concept itself is very nice!
The Idea is amazing and the game is beautiful. Personally I find the delay on the jump to much it took me some time to get used to it and even then I died often because of it.
But besides that nice work!
Thank you for the feedback!
I really loved the artwork – super beautiful background, and the main character is mysterious and charming. I love the crow motifs.
The gameplay itself felt cool, I thought the countdown to jump was a really interesting idea and it felt interesting all the ways you guys used it. It really forced a nice sense of timing and rhythm.
thank you! The artists will be happy to read these compliments
This is a creative idea! I struggled at first, but eventually I entered a flow state and got really far. I'm really glad there's checkpoints, because I died a lot! I do wish that there was coyote time implemented so the jumps didn't have to be so precise. I had fun!
Thank you!!
The art looks super cool! I enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Interesting concept. I like that you try to use the jumping mechanic as both an advantage and disadvantage in different circumstances
