I actually got stuck playing this for much longer than I should have. Put some gfx and audio on it and it's a winner!

Thx.

I'll make a post-compo version if there's enough interest, as I didn't have more time yesterday.

This is surprisingly compelling.

I got to 2000 and gave up. My attention span is rather short right now though. :P

Cute little game, great application of theme; about as simple as it gets :) After 5 minutes I still had 91 health though, not sure I want to play for an hour straight :P

My biggest gripe is that it doesn't tell me how close I was to the time. The only feeling of progression I get is from watching my health but I don't want to do that because a number could appear at any moment.

A little polish would have gone a long way also. Just a bit of styling and better feedback. It's amazing how addictive simple concepts can be if they are communicated well.

@netguy204 I agree for the "how close". I'll definitely post a post-compo version.

Really minimalist in its gameplay.
The first time, the countdown started with 1 second, so I had no time to read the instructions and died. After that, it went well, but I think I had too much high numbers : waiting 7 seconds, then 9, then 8.. well I almost felt alseep ;)

I have a very accurate sense of time, it seems !

really minimalist and nice idea, but little boring

Well I had a lot of fun playing this game, considering that you only put 12 times as much time to make it as i did to play. I really like games that test one's real-world skills.
