How does your game fit the theme?
Gladiator Countdown fits the theme by turning survival against time into an intense arena challenge where every second counts. The game integrates time management directly into combat through mechanics like the countdown timer and the Berserk state that triggers when the clock runs out. Additionally, players must balance aggressive elimination with tactical choices like the Mercy mechanic, deciding whether to spare enemies for a crucial time bonus at the cost of the crowd's favor.

We had a very similar color palette on our game pages. Very nice job! The game loop was fun, and with some more polish, this could be a great game!
The overall game idea is good and art style was nice as well. Needed to polish some more stuff. Overall Good Game
Beware my T-pose! I like the concept but the game could use more feedback in combat and when an enemy is defeated.
The idea is good as well as the art style, but the game needs a little bit more work. It's fine for a game jam.
Hello! I saw your message on Discord - the game really has its own vibe, but the T pose made me laugh a lot, hahaha. The idea of the game is cool, if you develop it, it will turn out great!
play our game, I think you'll like it!
Cool idea! I just think the dead enemies and the mercy mechanic could be a bit more clear, but with some more polish and juice it could be great! Congrats!
cute art! I wish there was feedback about if the animals are dead or not and if i gave them mercy or not during the game. all in all very charming. great job!
Nice game and art style!
Good job !
+ Hope to try our game
Great submission! I loved how the audience and arena looked and the game played really well! The mercy action was a great mechanic! Great job! It took me a few seconds of shooting at coprses to realize enemies dont have a dead 'state' or animation so in the future that might be nice but after i realized that it wasnt an issue
Thought this was incredibly charming and such a good use of assets. Fits the theme perfectly as well.
