Wow, it turned out great! I see you implemented my suggestions nicely. The pacing is a bit off from the real world; you can win really early and you need to sleep way too often. But hey, maybe one of us should try taking frequent naps like that! Great sound effects, great (foreground) graphics. Nice job!

Suggestion for post-compo: Make Food and Hydration one bar. There's no need for both. And make a better room image. =P

I wish I could alternate between sleep and programming that quickly.

You did really well! The audio is especially good, particularly the creative sound effects :)
My only question: how does this relate to 10 seconds? I guess you have a timer and that, but the link between the theme and game seems kind of weak.

Anyway, great job!!!

Hey, I didn't use the restroom for over 48 hours as well!

But seriously, nice job!

I should probably note, I gave it a one on theme. But yeah.

@Puzzlem00n I had to quickly make something after I found my story of waking up 2 hours too late because of 10 seconds was too complicated and boring and ununderstandable.
The way I used 10 seconds in game is that the game shuts down after you spend 10 seconds in title menu.

It's not bad, but I think it's really missing a screen to stop the game when you die. You can keep doing stuff and you already lost the game. :|

@rpmoura You can only change what you do, but it will have no effect.

Really smart idea, and a good implementation. Good job!

I slept way more than in real life :D

5 for Humor, instantly. Of course, I was destined to end with like 75% finished game and almost dying without sleep. Should have a Jam continue mode!

I like this LD meta-game idea. It's just a shame that it doesn't really incorporate the theme into the primary mechanics of the game.

I'm in the same time zone than you, solution:"orange juice!"
Is it possible to finish?
Or is this some sorte of moral: "You will not be able to sleep on ludum dare, MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Nice idea (same timezone btw, I know how you feel!), but the execution could have had a tad more polish. I did not realised I was dead until a minute or so had passed :D But good idea though, always funny to come across such meta-games.

bernhard 2013-09-02 15:27

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing missing is the toilet. Or maybe that's whats outside :-)

paperblurt 2013-09-02 15:51

How to rate when theme isn't applicable?

tegu 2013-09-02 15:53

I just can't finish this. :( Pretty hard, but funny idea. The only connection to 10 seconds was the timer in the beginning though. :P

When I die from starvation I can keep coding eternally and no time will pass, that's pretty cool.

snoringfrog 2013-09-14 16:29

I can't seem to win, but I liked the idea. I at least managed to survive once haha.
