How does your game fit the theme?
Obviously, everyone things of number going down. I thought the same. BUT! What if the counting down was the altimeter as you falling down? And, in "Counting Down" there is the word "down" and... you are falling. So here how I was thinkink. Just you, falling down.

This was a lot of fun! Nice and simple, but very effective and well implemented. The art and music also fit the vibe very well :)

One small point of feedback is that is was not entirely clear to me when I should press space to land because it was unclear where the ground started. Maybe just a fully 2D ground with a clear line for where the ground starts would have been better? But that is a very small point :)

Thanks a lot for making this!

Cool idea and nice music! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D

Thank you! I don't think I will continue the development. I have other idea to do first and need to continue to learn! :)

the graphics and sounds are very good as well as the narative but you couldve added a few more thing related to countdown so it fits the theme more and maybe make it a bit more easier to land without crashing

CountDown stall

OvertekDeveloper53 days ago(+1)

Thanks for playing! I didn't want to add more things related to countdown otherwise it would have been too much. Well, in fact, I did add a timer for a level that add points and wanted to do more with that but didn't add time to do it

I like the idea. There's a charm to it.

Felt a bit tricky, especially when grabbing things. Maybe give the guy a net, or something. Pressing F could then make the net attempt to catch objects.

Great idea! I didn't think at that and would be a lot better you're right!

Quite a fun little game. The concept is quite nice, and I liked the tutorial guy and the mission objectives. It was a bit hard to find out the timing to perfectly land. Overall great job :D

Short and sweet, the gameplay hits a nice balance between relaxed and challenging! I was confused by the perfect landing mechanic, without any indicator I didn't manage to get it in any of the levels.

Submitted

The perfect landing is just right before the ground and I did that with a simple collision box to check whether you are in the normal or perfect zone (I sure there are better way do manage that). I don't really now how to add an indicator without marking the spot, so if you have an idea I take it! For future reference in other projects :D Thank you!!

CraigMakesGamesSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

Great concept!! Some indicators for when you can/can click the buttons and some more feedback when you collide would help, but still a fun game!

OvertekDeveloper54 days ago

Thank you! Agree with the indicators. Make some friends play and realize that as game dev we need to indicate everything. As for the feedback when you collide, how would you add them?

What a cheeky tutorial! Fun little game!

Submitted

OvertekDeveloper54 days ago

Yea I did see that at the end and didn't know how to manage that with the time left. Thanks you for playing :)

jdecontoSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

I can see what you where aiming for! The music was a nice addition to the game.

really cute game! the sounds are awesome and the mechanics are easy to follow. a few more levels would've been great but the game is still very good regardless :)

Submitted

OvertekDeveloper54 days ago

I wanted to do more but hasn't much time left for it. And the more I added things, the more complex either with the architecture than the code. Thank you!!

insomniarghSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

Nice art, and a great take on the countdown concept! Can I request one thing? Please enable the full-screen button in the itch.io options! Very cool game!

Submitted

OvertekDeveloper55 days ago

Thanks for the feedback! And the option is enabled. I didn't see this option at first. Thanks for noticing it :)

meeehdiSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

A bit hard for me but great idea! Well done!

Pretty fun and your few levels demonstrated a good variety. Starred each of the levels. It felt like the level ended before you actually touched the ground, so the timing for hte perfect landing was a bit tricky. And the clouds in the background that don't really move were off putting.

Thanks for the feedback! I just noticed that, indeed, the score appear too fast (as soon as you press space in fact). Wasn't the initial plan so you found a bug! I take a note for the clouds.
