The most interesting implementation of the JAM theme I’ve seen yet. I love that there’s an actual clock hand in-game indicating the seconds, and that it even becomes a hazard in the second level! The pixel art was very good, and the music was amazing. The difficulty was on the harder side, but with 10 HP I managed to beat it.
My only real complaint would be that feedback when the player gets hit is way too subtle. I had to check all the time my HP to see if I had gotten hit or not. Maybe a more audible SFX would have done the job.
Overall quite an enjoyable and polished game, and one of my favourite entries for this JAM. Good job!
