How does your game fit the theme?
Count Me Dead uses the "Count Down" theme as its core mechanic. Each duel is a race against a ticking timer: players must wait for the countdown to end, then react instantly to outdraw their opponent. Shoot too early and you lose. React too late and you lose. The countdown creates the tension and defines the entire duel experience.

This is probably one of the most aesthetically unique games in the jam! The game felt really fun to play and the unexpected gimmics each opponent had with the timer really made it so much more fun. Everything is near perferct for me and I have nothing else to say.
the best game so far in the jam for me. The last boss was a hard one

Really liked the final boss!
absolutely love this game and absolutely hate the fact that I'm very bad at it. bravo!
I am genuinely in awe at how good this game is. There are 5 levels, all of them with creative twists, good music, good artwork, funny narrative, and an amazing ending? this is crazy for just 4 days, especially with the levels of polish that went into the game too. Gives me massive rhythm doctor vibes, which is a game i also love. Great job, best game in the jam I have played so far.
Really creative game so much good ideas ! And the art and ambiance are on point.
YEE-HAW
Damn good game.
This might be the best game I’ve played for the jam so far! Incredible use of the theme, great presentation, good humour - this was a packed experience. The difficulty did maybe spike a bit too much at the end of each fight, and it would have been nice to be able to click through dialogue (I had to use the spacebar), but other than that nothing but praise! Very well done indeed, yee-haw!
Funny story! You actually CAN (theoratically) click through the dialogue, but there's a pesky bug where clicking on the text box itself doesn't do anything. This has actually already been fixed on our end, but unfortunately, we have no way of updating the game jam version. ( ;´ - `;)
So far, this is the only game in the jam to which I’ve given full marks.
The gameplay is engaging, the art is cute, and the text in this game is really funny.
You guys did perfect.
Very creative way to play with timer! GG
great artstyle and music, they match really well. And the enemy design is really good each with their own twist on the timer.
Great artstyle and really fun idea! Great submission!
I finally beat it. It's frustrating, but it's really rewarding at the end. Nice game!
Really really cool game! An excellent take on the theme and everything else about it is great too.
One thing I did notice is that it seems like sometimes click doesnt advance the text and you have to use space instead.
Yeah... We noticed that one a little too late, haha.
It seems that if you click on the text box itself, the text doesn't advance, but clicking anywhere else on the screen works fine. We have already fixed it, but unfortunately we're stuck with this version for the game jam as there is no way of updating it... o(╥﹏╥)o
Wow! Every aspect of the game is so cool: the visuals, the sound design, the concept!! Everything is really great and super polished, honestly well done! I think this is the game from the jam that I spent the most time on, i really had a lot of fun 👏
I'm stunned how simple and brilliant the concept of the countdown is! Really well done.
This is definitely going to be one of the winning entries of this jam!
Definitely my favorite entry so far. Amazing game, presentation and execution. Everything works so well together. A well deserved 10/10!
I loooooveeeee the art in this one; extremely polished. Had a great time playing. Nice job! :)
Insanely good submission:o It's so polished, and the art is awesome. Really enjoyed the countdown changes each level- damn that last boss is harrrrd!
