Stop the clock

The piano music makes me not want to press the button. Great work!

I really like how the music changes when the clock is running and when it stops.

I loved how the game would fake you out into pressing the button. Great work!

it really pin-points the theme :D i really like that sometimes the music starts to play, but the clock doesnt start to click -> fooling you to click the button :D

ayy a fellow countdown aficionado. loved/hated all the fake outs!

Good idea, the music goes very well with the game!

j'aime bien le son les mouvements le graphisme mais je comprends pas le jeu :(

Loved the idea! I think is one of the best implementations of the theme I've seen! Great job!

@arthurr tu dois juste empêcher le chrono d'atteindre 00:00. Quand il se met à descendre, tu peux appuyer sur espace pour l'interrompre. Et donc le but c'est de tenir aussi longtemps que possible sans que ça n'atteigne zéro.

Perfectly fits the theme in a fun arcade-y way, love all the faints you throw, also the art and music, despite simple, aren't half bad at all, it's a really well made little arcade game. All i can say is that this is a game that would benefit greatly from a global leaderboard (even though not necessary at all), and the "high score" should be formatted for seconds or minutes or something, not very easy to read a time score of 111777.12. Overall a great simple fun experience, and a great take on the theme taking it literally

"Brevity is the soul of wit" - this is what I can say about this game. Also I found interesting bug, I was able to hold stop button for infinite)))

Interesting. I like the curveballs the game throws at you to press the button. However, I feel like there should be ways to make the player get tricked into releasing the button. Good work though.

@anton4ik-dev Thanks !
Can you give me repro steps for your bug ?

The musical flow is awesome. You also did a good job on the theme. I did not really understand the appearing other buttons. It seemed like they were not made for interaction.

haha those fakes were funny 86863 was my score! Good Job on submitting

This game is me every morning sneezing the alarm 2004304 times

Hahaha awesome game. The idea of faking the button activation was awesome! After playing 2 times in a row i thought it would be awesome if it had more of this content.
The only thing that i didn't like was the fake buttons that prompted in the clock. I thought that I had to click on them (and obviously I release the button myself). It was the only trick that I didn't feel like I was the responsible for making my live harder hahahah
Awesome concept!

Very nice! You get the game idea immediately and then you just keep wondering what wild trick the clock will throw at you next. Gets really really tense once you're low on time. Great game!

lol - this was quite fun for such a simple mechanic. The fake outs with the music caught me out very often.
I don't know if it is a bug or not, but there was no indication (via a score) of how well I was doing relative to the high-score shown at the top of the screen. It would have been nice to see how much longer I needed to go for to 'win'

Thank you for my broken mouse!

Very simple but great. I like that you put sound cues, fake outs and the clock has a life of its own by moving and turning itself around.

Ahah this was funny. The sound made me want to press the button to the beat but that makes me lose! Nice entry :)

Thanks for having the instructions, I didn't read/pay attention to them the first time so I was confused by the extra buttons and thought I had to precisely click with my mouse lol (which actually could be interesting for a difficulty mode!). For a mode like that it could also be cool to have just one button move around on the clock. Great job, I love how bouncy the animations and music are and they work really well together!

Ok, I first tried playing this silent, and it is a completely different and more engaging experience with the audio. I laughed as the clock and music tries to trick me into clicking at the wrong time. It's a very simple game but felt very engaging. Well done!

Nice game, really loved the sound design of this one

My high score was 125770.6. I just focused on the time and nothing else. The music works really well with this game. I could see you making a bunch of mini-games for this.

This was super clever, I loved the fake-outs!

Great concept. Audio works realy well. Well done!

Fits the theme well, overall. The graphics aren't anything simple, but they serve the gameplay good enough. The music is what makes this entry due to the way it builds the tension for the gameplay. The gameplay itself is very simple, but the entry manages to make the most out of a one-button game. Nice work, overall.

Ooooh this is so cool! I like the great use of the pavlof effect here! Music=clock=going. But appearantly that is not always the case and then you start the clock because the music starts haha! had much fun playing this one. Great execution!

This game is absolute evil! The music made me push the button so many times, it's not funny anymore!
But seriously, it's a lot of fun to play :slight_smile:

Congrats, it's pretty fun to play. But it took me a while to realise that it's better to just focus on the button's visuals... :smile: Because the music and also some other visual clues are sometimes misleading and I ended up pressing the button too soon, starting it the timer myself :laughing: I don't know if it's intentional to mislead the player, or just a bug... but maybe you should emphasize the misleading intention or fix the bug.

Anyway, cool little entry, suprising to see how entertaning a small idea could be! :D

@tudvari it’s 100% intentional !
We plan to add more tricks, maybe difficulty levels and a tutorial after the jam.
Thanks for your comment !
