Interesting idea. Couldn't really figure it all out. Very Pratchett-y style of story, especially the death scene.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD27 → Tenth Second

+1 for text adventure
tar doesn't like your gzips.
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Yay text adventure! Nice interpretation of 'ten seconds' too :p
Nice idea - and interesting choice of programming language!
And to William Bundy: the file is obviously a zip file and not a gzip file ;) - try using unzip
Nice story and nice work :)!
I... didn't understand a thing. :D
@William Bundy:
Despite the *.tar.gz file name it's not zipped.
$ file tenth-second-linux.tar.gz
tenth-second-linux.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
If it were zipped it would look like this
$ file test.tar.gz
test.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Aug 26 13:56:19 2013
so simply run
$ tar -xvf tenth-second-linux.tar.gz
instead of
$ tar -xzvf tenth-second-linux.tar.gz
@RandomM00:
Consider renaming the file to tenth-second-linux.tar to avoid confusion.
I could not see how this them could be interpreted differently than "10 units of time". Thanks for showing me !
That being said, I liked text adventures and I never finished a single one of them ; guess I am not that good with them.
I can't figure out how to progress, but maybe that's because I'm tired. Interesting idea though.
Cool idea, but weird language choice :)
Is there a way to restart the game without restarting the server?
I dropped the grenade and went under deck.
I agree with tiffi +1 for text adventure!
Confused, ran out of time to play it IRL, but from what I played of it, it looks fun.
Good job on programming, and the writing is absolutely hilarious, but I used up two of the items and still am not quite sure what I need to do to win the game.
Possible bug:
SPOILER
After firing the grenade at the enemy ship, I still got a message saying that the grenade exploded inside the cannon.
