A downloadable game

Window Watcher was made in GameMaker Studio 2 in 48 hrs for GMTK GameJam 2019 with the theme "Only One".

You have only one minute, only one level, and only one objective - to count how many windows are lit up before the timer runs out! Try your best to get the highest grade possible! This is the first GameJam I've participated in and I really enjoyed taking part and hope you like it! 

Any feedback is appreciated!

Controls:

X - Start and count up

Z - Count down

ESC - Quit on score screen

Update:

Version 2.0 is now live.

After some feedback, it seemed people preferred to have the counter only increment when you press the key, and then have to wait until you press it again to repeatedly do so. This therefore allows you to only hit it when you count a window, allowing you to focus on counting rather than making sure the number is correct!

I like the concept and the challenge, But if you ever do come back to the game you should add the option to have more/less windows on screen, or smaller/larger windows on screen. 

Other than that great game and good graphics and the music is catchy as well. 8/10 game. really good exceptionally for a 48 hr. game

Nice art and background music. Some challenge was created by windows turning on and off.

Very nice game. Had to figure out controls by myself since I didn't read a single line here :D Up/Down arrow or + - signs could be supported (I tried both then tried X & Z). Really nice graphics, music and gameplay experience. Well done!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed! :D
