I ended up winning! This is a pretty inventive concept on the count-down theme. It's more deeply engaging than I thought it would be, requiring that I pay attention to my opponent's moves and my own score as best as I can before the volley limit is reached. I loved the graphics too. Great challenge!

I loved the concept of this game so much! The audio was perfect, with just a little bit of ambience and fitting dialogue sounds. The core mechanic was very interesting and engaging, which kept me working hard until the very end. Very cool take on the count-down here. I'm sure this could expand into a full Steam game!

Very fun! I liked the mental challenge here with each mechanic you created. It reminded me of playing Dicey Dungeons. Cool execution and strong concept

Awesome little game here! I felt like it provided enough of a challenge to play for a long time. The mechanics were easy to understand and the whole vibe was very comfortable and cozy. Excellent work on this!

Really creative idea here! I found it to be a unique challenge that really made me push against the mechanics well. It was explained well in the tutorial and allowed you to modulate your difficulty in an interesting way also. Nice job

Really loved this game! I finished the whole thing in one shot, but nearly lost multiple times. The challenge ramped up well over time and kept me engaged. Multiple enemies, tricky math problems, and unique questions all associated with different monsters was great! Excellent submission for the jam

Fun game overall! The physics-based system for throwing myself in the way of the attempts on the count's life were unique.

Fun little game! I love the idea of having to essentially complete "efficient battles." Having the round countdown motivated my strategies without making things too stressful. Good concept and execution

Loved the experience! The atmosphere and music was perfect to support the floaty gameplay. I started to pick up some "speedrun strategies" and was able to skip portions of the levels at times. Loved it! Good work

Overall great execution! I loved the unique style and the challenge level was just right. The float-y feel was fun as I made the descent. Was able to complete it barely in time

Really enjoyed this! The concept is really cool and the puzzles were well designed. The time pressure makes things pretty difficult too

Was definitely spooked when I failed a date at first! I think I had a little trouble understanding the controls, but the character was intriguing. Interesting concept overall and great work drawing everything!

Fun collection of little minigames like Warioware! I had a little bit of trouble figuring out the controls, but otherwise loved the charm. Great work weaving the theme throughout the whole thing

Unique idea for sure! Good job executing

Super interesting concept here! It almost incentivizes a speedrun of the game where you don't use any special abilities - the farther you go, the better. I'm motivated to keep going and see what else the game holds.
I love the look and music especially! If you were to expand this a bit, I think a wider field of view would help against some of the trickier platforming. Great work overall

Loved it! This was nice, simple, and relaxing, where the objective was clear from the very start. I found the music to be really enjoyable, especially. Great simple game for the jam that fits the theme super well. Great work! I can see this being a lot of fun to play for a while

Enjoyed the music a lot in this! Definitely felt the stress right away - you have to juggle many timers at once to make the game work. I think more prominent timers could have helped with the clarity, although you did do a good job increasing the intensity of the TICs as timer decreased.

Fun little concept; Great work!

Great stuff here! I had a similar idea when we were thinking of game concepts. This is pretty well executed, making a puzzle out of different player abilities that can be morphed over time. I think the music and artwork fit very well with a "magical pirate gets the treasure" theme. This was challenged and unique. If you were to expand it into something fuller, I noticed that the hitboxes of the spikes are a little big, so I got nicked at times I didn't expect. Great work!

This is a very clever idea! I found it very easy to pick up, but tricky to master. This is definitely something I could keep playing for hours. Loved the graphics and the competition element too.
