What?
I have no idea what to do, pressing keys has no effect after the game starts!

Good god, my brain does not work that fast! Good (if not wicked ;p)entry. Looking forward to seeing you at the next LD.

Dont you understand?! Its a "10 second" game! Hehe, get it? "10 second"

adekto 2013-08-26 10:47

im stuck at 6 not sure how to do that, or is it the end of the game?

motty 2013-08-26 12:09

RandomM00 - pressing keys after the game starts should have an effect, but you have to be quick. You've got about a second to figure it out.

adekto - '6' isn't the end of the game, it's just when the game starts taking the gloves off a bit.

rustybroomhandle - cheers, and likewise :)

adekto 2013-08-26 13:16

had to look true code since 6 dint make sense, probably since i never use kiss in the first place, 3 makes no sense ether and the ones you commented where actually pretty good

cwkx 2013-08-26 13:51

A little cryptic after 6 (I admit looking at the source to finish the last two!)

gremlin 2013-08-27 11:27

That's hard. And confusing. But it's definitely a game.

Spotline 2013-08-27 11:59

Very hard, but brilliant ideas there :)

jimanzium 2013-08-27 12:37

Nice use of the theme, very difficult though.

larzan 2013-08-27 13:55

Errrrr, don't get it, just a countdown after pressing a key for 10 and 9?

arcturusdeluxe 2013-08-27 16:26

Took me a while to figure this one out, but turned out to be somewhat interesting. Very basic idea but tricky. Cool stuff.

esayitch 2013-08-27 17:32

Very original I must say, at least among the slew of 10-seconds-to-finish-level platformers xD

Found it very hard, but pretty cool at the same time, good job!

Fun game. Took me a while to conquer.

BUT CONQUER I DID. And how dare you suggest that I used Google to figure out the last clue?!?

One of my favorites so far for sure. It's like my fingers were doing a panicky little dance on the keyboard.

starspell 2013-08-27 19:32

Like everybody else I was really confused at first. And I also had to look at the source code *shame* to get an idea of it. Clever little clues in the hints. Very cute little game.

beerman 2013-08-27 20:01

That's just plain evil. Yeah, I cheated, very clever puzzles :)

timujin 2013-08-27 21:22

Hehe. Clever.

garethiw 2013-08-28 01:17

Got stuck at 4! Neat idea :)

gsmproductions 2013-08-28 12:11

So hard Oo But very fun and clever use of the theme! Well done!

meta87 2013-08-29 18:28

Ooo very tricky! Had fun trying to figure it out, eventually had to check the source :) Cool to see a fellow mefi on here (saw the metatalk post (im meta87 on there)) Hope you do more ludums!

meedoc 2013-08-30 06:40

I love the sadistic idea but some input seems to be a bit buggy :\ couldn't press zero twice in a row as the game ask for instance :\

sh1rogane 2013-08-30 08:51

Lol, very hard game, had to check the source when "Give a kiss" came

motty 2013-09-01 20:20

Meedoc, the game may well have unsquashed bugs I haven't found yet but without being too spoilery I can assure you that the matter you mention is absolutely 100% definitely not a bug. You certainly can press zero twice in a row, if you like, but the way that is handled - as you describe it - results in entirely intended behaviour ;)

mrblade 2013-09-03 16:59

Hm? This game is okay, seems a bit bland. Nice sound effects!

darthone 2013-09-06 01:44

I didn't really understand this game until I looked at the source, but after reading I played through it and I liked it!

urth 2013-09-07 02:40

I thought 3 was S not the large key at the bottom of the keyboard.

dream-of-sleeping 2013-09-11 13:52

I never would have figured this out without looking at the source code, and most people will probably not give it a chance but for those who figured it out I bet it was very satisfying, like solving a riddle. Really cool idea.

hyperbox 2013-09-13 00:48

Hahaha awesome, it's very simple but very effective use of the theme and cleverly challenging.

lordjosephdeburg 2013-09-15 01:28

redefines the gaming genre

mrblade 2013-09-15 06:40

I wanted to say sorry, you wrote such a nice and long review of my game and I pretty much gave you rubbish. Sorry Motty.
