It was quite tricky. Not sure about controlling the number of bounces. Perhaps award points based on how few bounces you took, then there would be an incentive to set it to anything other than the max.
Thank you so much for the feedback I was suppose to make the bounce as the countdown but I just felt like it didnt have the thrill / panic time so I just winged it lol. I hope to do my best next game jam again THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
