definitely fit the theme. nice entry
+ Interesting stylistic approach, by including the Ludum Dare counter as the "Inevitable", fun twist
+ Quite satisfying sound effects on when clicking on the numbers.
+ Easy and intuitive to get in and start playing, no need to read controls
+ Fits the theme perfectly
## The bad
+ Game duration can be quite long. I don't think I played for too long but the game started to feel very tiring and repetitive after some point.
+ There is not a lot of replayability. Even after one time, I didn't find the courage to go for a new highscore, and I think this is mostly due to the large (relatively to the game complexity) game time.
## Summary
Overall, I can say that even though I liked the game and I did find it interesting, I also found it very limited. I think it could have been more challenging in some other way rather than increasing the numbers flow rate. In that way, the experience would be kept fresh and exciting, while it would also make you lose faster and add more replayability to the game. I think some background music would be a fine addition too.
Good luck and keep up the good work!
I concentrated on protecting the hours after my arm got tired of clicking. Looked away for a second and lost.
A neat variant might be having to type in the numbers rather than clicking on them. You'd have to make it so the numbers didn't overlap though.
clever interpretation of the theme
i like the play on the theme & gfx of ldjam.com
gameplay-wise it works really well - no problem clicking the tiles - well done there
id argue it gets repetitive quite fast
but still - well done guys :)
