Yo, this is my first game jam and I really wanted to make sure I submitted something! Anyway, I massively screwed up my original project - so here's a really horrendous one I cobbled together in a few hours. 

Downcount is a word puzzle game, in which you race the clock to find the longest 'legal' word you can based on the letters available. Words are validated against a dictionary reference document.

The game contains four unique modes, none of which are fun!

1. ORIGINAL - You select 9 letters, you get 30 seconds. Play through 10 rounds to get the highest score possible.

2. COWNTDOUN - You select 9 letters, you get 30 seconds. The main difference here is that the Host cannot spell!

3. STREET - It's more or less the same as ORIGINAL, except you can pick up to 26 letters and it can get quite cold.

4. SURVIVAL - An endurance challenge in which the game actively tries to ruin your life, and you can cheat!
