How does your game fit the theme?
This game fits the theme in many ways: The story focuses around a character called Count Valente, who travels down to hell to file his taxes. In other words, the “Count” goes “down”. (Splitting the word Countdown into 2 different words.) There is also a mechanic in the last level, where there are “Artificial suns” created by the Demon Corporation. These slowly take away the player’s health the longer they stand in it. In other words, it is like a countdown, because they can only stay in the light from the artificial sun for a limited amount of time. It makes the player’s health "count down”.

This was quite well done! Having the attack bound to the dash was quite unique, not something I've played with before, but felt smooth in execution. Story was also very goofy, in a good way.

Thanks for the positive feedback :) The dash attack idea was inspired by the Wario Land games (I think that’s what they’re called)!

Thanks again for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed :D

I had fun with it! I ended up with ending 2/3 (the sponsored one). Some of the movement mechanics (and the knockback you get when you get it by an enemy) feel like they could use more polish, but it was quite enjoyable! It felt like an old school flash game. Great work!

THAT(2019)S IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT(2019)S TIME FOR ME TO GO DOWN TO HELL!

A really nice submission, enjoyed it enough to force me to replay it for the true ending! With the timers and movement mechanics - and the fact your collision with platforms seems to be somewhat disabled when you are hit, making you fall through them - makes me believe in a speedrunning potential for this game :p

The only reasonable annoyance that I found was that I had to fight the camera instead of working with it - many times having to fall onto enemies I didn't know were there.

A very enjoyable submission to the jam!

Very fun little game. Gameplay felt fairly polished, loved the little story too. Artwork was fairly nice as well. Pretty well made game overall :)
