Aug 26 10:41:00 circles Nice sounds and quite quickly done too. Bonus points for so many messages. Simple and easy controls, but you only get points for moving than surviving? is that intentional?
Aug 29 04:33:00 65h 52m Ten Seconds To Space Gets pretty challenging after 15 seconds. Quick yes, <br/>Unfortunately I do not see it particularly on theme, except at the start, which feels a bit restrictive as you do cant really do anything in those 10 seconds :P <br/> <br/>I like the style of the watercolor styled background, and the music and sounds are decent
Aug 29 04:43:00 10m 00s 10 Second Waves Gameplay is simple, but could be fun if the controls would be improved. As many state here the restrictions of not being able to hold movement buttons in conjunction sorta can get frustrating. <br/> <br/>If it is intentional to only be able to move vertically and horizontally, the controls could keep the previous button pressed so that after releasing the recently pressed button the previous (if still pressed) is active. <br/> <br/>The 10 second theme is present as you have to clear the wave or else you fail. <br/> <br/>As a suggestion next time, even simple sounds can make a big difference, a sound generator usually allows you to do this quickly :)
Aug 29 04:51:00 8m 00s NodeNetOS Interesting game mechanics, as others say here however there is too much to remember. I liked it :) <br/> <br/>Perhaps a scroll-over tip tool on each node to say what they are? This would make the decisions a bit more easier and eventually allowing the player to remember the nodes them selves.
Aug 29 04:58:00 7m 00s Worst 10 Seconds of Your Life I counted more than 10 seconds :) especially as the time starts to slow down at the end. Warping time there. Interesting concept. but could be refined to distance from the target instead of "time is nigh". <br/> <br/>In anycase the randomness makes this nigh impossible to reach the goal, and i think you goal slides away anyway. Not sure if intentional or has deeper meaning but interesting regardless.
Aug 29 05:08:00 10m 00s Battle Switch Arena Very Nice. <br/> <br/>I like how the arena just changes every ten seconds by random terrain bits falling from the sky, and then morphing into the ground. and on the fly generates. <br/> <br/>also the Pews. <br/> <br/>Could use some variation in the enemy thought. Ranged maybe? only cubes I saw was just cubes comming up close (to atttack) to be easily killed (Infact, I think the terrain is the enemy here than the cubes)
Aug 29 05:14:00 6m 00s Water Closet Fun game, although the controls could be explained a bit further. <br/> <br/>When i started the game I was completely lost too as the camera was looking into the sky. For a moment there I thought my game had crashed. Maybe some reference in all directions would help? <br/> <br/>The gameplay it self is pretty much timing and holding, but sometimes I couldnt move and had to find the spot which allowed me to move off the toilet seat (lol) <br/> <br/>In anycase, I also had some issues with the timer going to negatives. but thats minor.
Aug 29 05:20:00 6m 00s 10 Seconds of Power Uff it gets annoying when the enemies simply drop down to the computer. Could use a drop down as I have to wait till the terrain regenerates. I do agree with @ghostmaple that diagonal shooting would have been a blast :D
Aug 29 05:26:00 6m 00s Target Down Simple, sorta fun gameplay, It just gets annoying as the 10 second timer ticks down and then you explode. but for a minigame, yes. <br/> <br/> One minor gripe When the Agent down screen comes, it does not react if i press any key until a few seconds later. <br/> <br/>In anycase, could have been longer. :) May changing the terrain, or making it more difficult?
Aug 29 05:29:00 3m 00s Ten Seconds to Meltdown Aww. OS/X only :&lt;
Aug 29 05:58:00 29m 00s Draggin ten Quite fun, <br/>Good Variation in obstacles and stuff you have to keep an eye out to be able to get all the way to the end distance. <br/>Played until end as well :) <br/> <br/>My only gripe is the upgrade screen. My eyes. They bleed eternally. Tone down the neo :D
