I love your sound effects and music – they go really well with the visual style! I think it would be better if you could reduce the number of taps from 10 to 5! Anyway, congratulations on finishing the game!

How does your game fit the theme?
You count the enemies down while a wave counter in the background counts down until the boss fight
(Optional) What would you like to be called if GMTK features your game?

This game is a perfect example of “The greatest ideas are the simplest.” You just click to count down while running from enemy but man What a Game! Great execution of the theme. I’m jealous :)

Break in Timereally impressive bullet hell, refreshing and fun to play. i really like the VFX and the powerups were great! i love the start menu click, but I agree with your previous comment on decreasing it to 5 or 3 :)

Clyde in Paper!Good commitment to the theme. The auto-clicker felt a little bit like cheating but I'll take it

In a Mascot Minutedidnt love having to manually click multiple times per upgrade honestly, but the game was otherwise pretty cool!!!!

Earth OdditiesReally polished a fun experience! I loved the different enemy types and their unique attacks, and the final boss was really good! I kept thinking maybe the boss is dead but then it kept going which was great! The upgrades are quite impactful and it's definitely satisfying to stack up on damage upgrades. I think my only nitpicks are that the boss difficulty was a bit weird. I'd say the hardest part of the boss was right at the beginning when you're surrounded by 3 different entities shooting at you, then after that it doesn't become much more difficult. Maybe it's just me? but maybe that stage could be brought on a bit later in the boss. I also think the 15 enemies could be more challenging. When they shoot the 2 enemy, it's very slow and feels a bit underwhelming. Maybe that enemy could also shoot (or if it already does maybe shoot frequently) or move a bit faster.
Otherwise, really great game and I love the UI elements and visual effects! Congrats!

SquareoundedThis has some GREAT juice, very fun, could be a very addicting game with some more mechanics, so much fun to play, very well done

10 Seconds is Plenty of TimeReally fun and addictive! The only issue I had was a very little lag during the boss, when there are lots of bullets on the screen. But it didn't really affect the gameplay, so I can complain much. This is a concept I can see turned into a full game! Keep up the great work!

Ticket, FAST!This has some good juice and the countdowns are every where. Really reminds me of some old action mobile games I used to play back in the day.
