Very interesting take on the theme, love the cute vampire art 😊
Thank you so much!
This was fun! I liked the artwork and also the music too, and the mechanics felt really smooth :)
Thanks for playing, that's great to hear!
Really nice art!! Good job! I liked it a lot!
Thank you so much!
The animations on the bat movement are crisp! Nice work! I really like how the game play feels too, kind of felt like a rhythm game
We actually considered a rhythm game but decided against it, so that's a fun coincidence!
The moment I saw a bat I knew I had to play it, I love the art and the concept. Levels are fun and you can cheese them if you abuse the controls. Only thing I didn't like is that in the last one I die because of a bug, I recorded it. I just wanted to skip that part xD. I'm sure that level is doable much faster than I did but using that skip
Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll take a look at that bug after the jam!
Nice work! I really like this kind of game, and I had a good time playing it. Congrats on the submission!
Thank you so much for playing!
Hope you get a chance to play my game too!
very good game i liked it, and i played more than i was planning to,
can you please check my local multiplayer game, you can play solo or with a friend
Thanks for playing! I'll check yours out in a bit
The art and animation are sooo nice, great job!
Thank you so much for playing and rating! :D
I'm always a sucker (ha, no pun intended) for a platformer, so I had such a fun time playing! The jump animation was so smooth omg, great job!
So glad to hear it! Thanks for playing!
loved the game, the artwork and idea was very nice- we also used a count doun charcter for our narrative, go check it out!
Glad to hear it! I'll give your game a look next time I'm on pc lol
Really liked the way you used the theme, a limited number of moves that count down. Also our game also had the idea to have a count down vampire character lol. Great game!
Great minds think alike :D
So glad to hear it, thanks for playing!
Interesting concept, i like the main character animations! and that you can complete the levels in different ways. Great job!
Glad to hear it!!
Dare i say peak?
my goat
idk, do you?
Fun game and love Count Downe's design. I saw a couple of platformers that played around with the limited use of actions idea, but this is the first one where you don't control the movement, and that works surprisingly well with the concept! Wish there was like a star or scoring system to reward beating levels with fewer moves :)
We did think of adding that funnily enough! Unfortunately ,due to the nature of gamejams, we didnt have enough time to really work on it so it never went anywhere. Maybe if we feel motivated we can add that later on lol.
as Cygnus said, definitely one of our goals if we develop it in the future! For now we mostly have time as a scoring tool because it doesn't require a new system and a bunch of testing lol
i want plushies of count downe RIGHT NOW
ME TOO
i enjoyed it! love the art and movement mechanics. Portogonist is so cute UwU
I'm so happy to hear that, and only like a third as much so as our animator
i love the artwork, but the 3 second countdown gets a bit annoying, otherwise i think its an amazing game
Good to hear! I'll look into adding a way to skip the countdown post-gamejam
Really nice game, good job!!
Thank you!
I appreciate that there isn't only one route to take, so that even if I miss a jump and bounce off the wall, I can keep going.
Glad to hear it!!
Limiting the player to a maximum of three moves is a great game design concept! The art style is really cute, and I felt like there was a lot of speedrunning strats by finding better routes through the levels.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've been SO surprised by how into speedrunning people have got lol, it's a nice surprise
