Always love a silly premise, and being punched in the heart by an assassin is certainly on my list of all timers. Great use of the theme and I love the visuals, nice going!

It was super interesting! So funny that our ideas so similar, but at the same time has different way of interpretation :D
I really enjoyed, but there was some moments, that i would like too see. Saves ofc will be really useful, on one really hard level i accidently presse leave to main menu. And also i faced with problem of stack with objects on circle-riding platform, i think u should add collisions, that will not stop character and push away, because now im stucking in blocks with pills on them and should to restart level.
Really good job, good luck with this project!

TEN STEPS DOWNVery interesting and creative game. Was fun to play and figure out how to get across the rooms.

The Gummy Grill CafeVery cool and fun game in which you are literally 5 steps to death. I had fun playing this. Visually very appealing and also the gimmick of using steps as countdown mechanic. At the start the sound was really loud and jumpscared me. And are the boxes underneath the pills intended to like like that, looks like they were missing a texture. Otherwise good job!!!

This Socks!The "5 step exploding heart technique" made me smile. :)
Art is fantastic, love the dithered(?) filter in the textures. Made everything feel cohesive. I would love to know how you did that. Also the game design is pretty good, clever use of the mechanics. Good job!

Count'em DownThank you! i used this px1 style dither shader https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/4557 I had forgotten to add to the credits.
Very nice, I like this game a lot! The uncanny atmosphere really makes you feel uneasy.

Brake-Down ProtocolHoly moly, very nice take on the theme! The levels are well designed too! Only request would be to speed up animations, or at least the skateboard! But very cool game!

Last LightThe puzzles start out easy but become really hard. You do a good job explaining each of the new mechanics before introducing the next one. I’m ashamed to admit I couldn’t actually figure out one of the puzzles and got stuck. The one frustrating thing is that sometimes you know how to solve a puzzle, but you just bump into a wall messing up your movement and you have to start over.

Timed ThieveryAn excellent game with an excellent idea, and it matches the contest theme really well. Great work.

Time to Blob!Nice game! After playing a bunch of grid-based puzzle games, this was a nice surprise to have a similar movement countdown mechanic but without the grid restriction. The puzzles were on the easier side, but still enjoyable! Visuals were quite good as well.

For Whom The Bell Tollshey, well done, i immediately understood the gameplay loop and made some decent progress (i think??)! probably was out of scope with so little time to level design and balance some more, but i would love a bit faster pacing and maybe some more stuff happening around to kind of immerse in this game world - surely there is a whole story why th a killer is after me and what's this secret fighting technique :D
