How does your game fit the theme?
The countdown is the core mechanic of the game. You play as a living clock, and when your clock strikes 12, you die. Every passing second brings you closer to the end while also making the game progressively harder with stronger enemies and increasing chaos.

Fun game! I was a bit addictive but it also got impossible hard at the end. Dashing was satisfying. The ticking and a lot of clocks really got heart rate slightly up :D Great job!

It took me a little too much time (hehe) to grasp that enemies leave those small clocks that heal me when they expire. It actually creates a cool dynamic, a good start for something truly interesting for sure. The game is quite hard as it is really getting chaotic the longer you play, but it was fun :)

Loved the Game!

I like how the enemies have the same weakness as you! Kinda wish I could fight back somehow, I'd be willing to sacrifice some time to get rid of some enemies. Unfortunately died due to being stun locked when an enemy spawned on top of me, but I survived 248 seconds! :)

I like how you stuck to the theme :) The pace was good, it felt good to dodge the projectiles :D

Game is very good bro!

i like the idea any clock will be dead if it hit 12, 

nice art and movement by the way, also i love the dash it looks cool and saves me everytime.

great job man!

This is hard! Sometimes I've got the full 12 hours, other times I'm just skating by. I don't like how going out of bounds knocks you back, with enemies it makes sense but I think it should just gently keep you in bounds. Best I could do was 120s.

Having the enemies chase/shoot me to speed up my time is a cool concept!! I really enjoyed the dash feature as well. Good work!

I had to stop because I couldn't lose x)
It took me a while to realize that the enemies had a countdown of their own.

Cool concept! The dashing mechanic was smooth, I think a more zoomed out camera and world could've been more interesting and maybe you can fight back, but overall gj!

A simple and fun game (no sound though 🔇)

Very creative take on the theme. The mechanics feel good. I would have liked there to have been some sound effects, and also, I thought that the difficulty increase was a bit too quick. Otherwise, nice game.
