I think this game is pretty cool but i also think that this would have been a lot better if there wasn't a countdown but rather a button you could press to die when you wanted to. I realize that that means the countdown part of it would be lost but i think thats a slightly fundamental problem with the game loop. I think implementing a countdown in another way would have been less annoying overall for the gameplay. But with that being said it was a really cool idea and with a little work i think it has amazing potential great job!
