It has a really nice watercolor-like texture. Using the sand running out of the hourglass as a way to represent the countdown is such a clever idea. The BGM is also super catchy and gets stuck in your head lol

Love the explosion feels when you get your enemies!

I did find it complicated to both shoot and look at your character. 

I was mostly aiming and moving randomly without looking where I was going; maybe it could be fun to have bonuses that could appear in the sand so that we have a reason to go in a certain direction and take risks.

Great use of the countdown constraint!

Love that dynamic, had so much fun. Love that feeling of being overpowered and absolutely destroying the queen in seconds hahaha. Very good arcade game

I liked the dynamic hourglass stage, and haven't seen it executed as well as here. I did find it confusing to balance getting power-ups and fighting enemies, and the shooting itself could've been more exact. Music was also a little strange but it kinda fit the vibe.

I really liked this game! Good use of the countdown theme, with it being a literal hour glass. I also like the way you get upgrades! I would maybe increase the bullet speed of the player though, because sometimes it was painful to shoot. Very fun!

Really creative game, I love the tradeoff you have to do between getting upgrades and clearing enemies. 

Had a lot of fun, I think the pace could be a little faster, but overall great game !!

I like the progression it was fun to power up and get the upgrades, great job !!

nice concept of fighting for the countdown, didn't know that there is upgrades on the bottom until some random moves I got there, really like the idea, and really recommend to do some hints so players can know about them, literally your game name is like mine XD, I hope you visit my game to see my concept because its so different! ;P

I like how at the end you are an indestructible worm god!

Wow, pretty fun! Liked the ridicolously punchy sfx, felt like i'm not a little worm bat a tank lmao

The idea is cool, seems like people agree that if you iterate on it you could get a really fun roguelike. Keep it up!!

I've had a blast with it, especially after picking up many upgrades. I felt like an indestructible worm that was able to destroy worlds!

I think the game has a great take on the theme. The clarity is good, and the game is easy to understand.

My only piece of feedback would be about picking up upgrades. I felt like the optimal strategy was to do two runs to collect all the upgrades and then finish the game. For me, it would be more interesting if the game had a roguelike-inspired structure, where you can pick up more upgrades the further you go. That could give you the feeling of gradually getting stronger and improving over time.

Personally, I would probably tie movement more closely to picking up upgrades. That would encourage more movement, which I feel could be beneficial for the gameplay.

Great job! I really had a lot of fun with it!

Had a good time with this one, very lovely art style and I appreciate the little touches like the main menu title entrance animation and the watercolour style.

I think the incentive design could use a little tweaking, maybe have the upgrades spawn gradually in as you kill enemies in the top chamber instead of all at once at the start?

Good job anyways! The mechanics here weren't simple and you did a lot in the jam time!

Kinda unique idea , graphics are good,though the UI isn't the best, but overall the game is fun .Keep up the good work (and consider trying my game and leaving a rating and a comment on your way if you want)

Great idea here. It seems like a common theme that this would be an excellent experience if the balancing was refined a bit. I will say I still enjoyed it and the countdown was used to great effect to build tension and maximise the risk/reward loop

Really cool idea to need to balance time between fighting and resource collection. I agree with some other comments I wanted to feel like I was moving faster, but I also felt like I wanted more time in a level to collect power ups. With some balancing this could be really neat!

I liked the theming a lot. Notably loved the hourglass and the fact that you can go up/down, as well as the dynamic (the bottom fills as the top depletes) which makes certain portions / upgrades accessible / inaccessible.

I also loved becoming a super worm and blasting off a bunch of bugs!

Cover art is gorgeous and instantly sold me. Music on the menu was great too and set the vibe. Then the game itself - such an impressively unique game loop, integrated so well and so intentionally with the actual hourglass object too. Really kept me hooked. Genuinely think as a mobile game or something it has a lot of potential as a full larger title!
