Inverting the timer so that erasing seconds through slashes brings you closer to zero is such an awesome spin on the countdown theme!

This is super polished! I adore the artstyle :))

Great take on the theme! Very original.
I also enjoyed myself quite alot. It has a basic premise.
And the art is so gamy and gives me 2000 vibes. In a good way!
GG, nice stuff!

I'm amazed you managed to make something so polished and full of content during a jam.

The feeling of slashing enemies is very addictive, especially when you manage to combo enemies. I'm not very going at it, I'm dying a lot early, but I could really see myself playing a lot too.  I especially liked little enemies that only take one hit to destroy.

All in all, I had a very good time, fantastic job!

Really polished game, liked the art style. The first time I tried the game I couldn't move the player, but I think was a bug on my side

Really polished presentation, and the attack cooldown is a neat twist on the Fruit Ninja-style gameplay. Having to dodge enemies while waiting to attack again didn’t fully keep me engaged, but the roguelike power-up choices were a nice addition.
