A rhythm game based on countdowns. Kids come to you based on a countdown, and you can only hand them out when the countdown reaches one.

The loop is addictive and I could see myself getting captured in it for a while! I did find that it was easier to just focus on handing out balloons instead of trying to pump them and hand them out though. Took a while to notice the message to stop pumping as well.
Cool game! I like the whimsy and the clear implementation of the countdown mechanic - I'd love to see a little more explanation or maybe some visually different enemies but solid submission :)
my fingers do not listen to my brain... fun game though
Fun little game, the art is very good!
Why, thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Game's fun once you get the hang of it! Those kids are brutal lol
Thanks for playing!
Getting into the game is quite brutal but once you figure it out it does click.
Can't say I fully enjoyed my time with it but it definitely is something I might get back into when I'm in the mood for a quite difficult, reflex based game.
With some more variety and a longer introduction period I could see this becoming more than just a Jam entry. Well done!
Yeah, I've been thinking maybe we should've put an easy mode like some other entries I've played since it's a game jam game. Thanks for playing and the feedback!
