How does your game fit the theme?
It's basically a "hold-to-continue" game, where every level is countdown based

I mean... I can't even.... How do I rate this game for "Enjoyment" without feeling TERRIBLE?! It was a journey, thanks.
Absolutely loved this game. The idea is brilliant, an awesome take on the theme. And the execution is fantastic too, I genuinely felt it when holding down
This has to be the darkest GMTK jam game I’ve played. It was great. Well done haha.
…I need to take a walk
I love the interaction with the characters and their response too what's going on.
I liked the sound design and visual effects of everything getting red and shaking as the countdown went closer to zero! Had to stop halfway through though because it made me feel bad. Amazing what you accomplished with just emojis and a few 3D models
This is a phenomenal game. I love this concept, where the fact that the only stimulating option is to hold space but the more you do so the character’s you want to see reactions to start to panic more and your heart starts to sink and AAAA this is so cool!
Ha, got 67. Very cool idea about morals and being able to stop the countdown. The art style and sounds are amazing as well and it seems very polished.
Totally AI generated
why?
The game is creative, the sounds are simply but good, it is such a relief to have a skip button. I really like the narrative!
thank you
What a cool idea for art assets 😁
Love the emoji expressions and dialogue as I was getting closer and closer 😈
keept it simple! thank you
super funny! was a good laugh
glad you enjoyed
the one with the boulder made me chuckle from the suddenness
oops 🤣
58/67 was my score.
My favorite part was timing it down to less than one second then cutting them off when they say their relief dialogue.
The butterfly was my favorite, they sounded the most innocent inn their nice little home of an airtight jar with a toxic gap pump attached to it and nothing else in an endless black expanse yet somehow the butterfly can talk and is delusional to the fact that they will forever be stuck there endlessly with no hope in sight and all that.
It would've been awesome if you shared the percent of people that killed/spared everyone after the game.
The hamster is adorable too
I feel terrible playing this but I had an absolute blast🤣
You are an absolute psycho.
Perhaps... I am too.... :,(
