How does your game fit the theme?
Thematically, you play inside a hour glass, it acts as a visual countdown. The player character also has a life time that drains overtime, both mechanics relying on the passage of time.

The feedback on every action is very good. Just the right amount of juice from clicking and respawning and cleaning stuff up. Feels very satisfying just to do usual stuff. Overall a pretty interesting mechanic. I struggled to get 100% cleanliness anywhere but it was fun regardless. The music stopped looping for me at a certain point. Overall, great work!
Very interesting mechanic and a unique interpretation on count down. The controls seemed clear to me but I had a hard time understanding each of the cloth, glasswelder, broom meant at first. Also the control to drop the ants was a bit annoying for me since sometimes clicking back to the three buttons will accidentally move the spawn point. But overall I think is a very interesting idea!
Really liked this one, reminds me of old flash games!
Really creative! reading the tutorial i was confused but got it from the first level!
Great idea, fun gameplay and magnificent artwork, however you could add the tutorial in the level itself for anyone who’s not a big fan of reading, otherwise great game
Very creative mechanics and the game is pretty fun! The new elements added throughout the levels are nice and add a real challenge.
However, even with the tutorial, it feels a bit confusing. A more gradual introduction of the mechanics (cloth, glasswelder, broom) might have been clearer, along with using distinct colors for them. Overall, the spawning system feels a bit clunky and requires clicking all over, which makes the experience less smooth. Maybe allowing players to move the spawn cursor using Q and E would help!
Also, I'm not sure if it's a bug, but the scoring system isn't very clear either, I ended up with negative percentages and wasn't sure if I actually completed the level. A replay or next button right in the center of the screen at the end would be a great addition too!
Otherwise, the game is clean overall. Great job!
Im blind bro. I didnt see the key list on the bottom right, and its becoming my downfall
Never expected to play such a game, it's really cool and creative!
Nah dude there's something wrong with your percentage system lol, besides, it was still a fun game! Played it all the way :]
It took me a while to properly understand but I thought it was really neat! Satisfying mechanics and graphics and well polished, well done!
exactly same thoughts!
well done,
a proper tutorial would improve playability a lot though
Did you see the guide? If not thats on me, sorry, its on the main menu.
I did see the guide but reading it all before playing is a lot to remember. you could show the pages in the first levels when relevant so the information is given to the player while playing
Thats a good idea, thanks.
This was extremely creative! Using a leaking hourglass as a concept.![]()
Also, I love the art style; it's SOOO CUTEEE, especially the game banner
Although it took me quite a bit to get the gist of the game, it was very enjoyable.
At first, I didn't quite get the controls. But after that, everything went pretty well!
A bit confusing for my taste (tho I'm not one to judge on this, my game isn't any better on this front). Took a while to get a hang of it, but it's pretty neat concept. Also the tutorial art for the square blob is quite cute.
