It's a great game. Very good idea and nice art.

donan 2013-08-26 10:19

Awesome game :D
Really good idea ^^ and one of my fav games of the compo :D

rustybroomhandle 2013-08-26 10:19

Love it :D Especially like how they turn into skeletons, hehe. Really great idea for a puzzle game and great use of the 'ten second' theme.

ibilon 2013-08-26 10:22

I'm having trouble playing on an azerty keyboard, I'll see if I can find a way to make it temporarily qwerty (linux).

hypnohustla 2013-08-26 10:23

Great concept. Loved the characters. Music fit it well and I had fun playing it. :)

nizan 2013-08-26 10:24

Really nice, the graphics are cute and the writing is actually pretty funny. The gameplay is really clever, a great puzzle. However I got stuck at once point because it seemed the scientist guy couldn't jump high enough to get to the terminal... (or I messed up the puzzle and I am dumb!)

tiffi 2013-08-26 10:24

One of the best games so far. The elevator got stuck, after big yellow dicided to die in it

paraknight 2013-08-26 10:24

Interesting idea. Slightly short (eg. jump guy seems useless) but that's expected of after only two days. Two things I would have liked would be:
1) Not having to restart before the tutorial every time I press R
2) The ability for people to return to the main room and have their timers frozen so they can still be saved haha.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 10:25

Finally a reason that the game lasts ten seconds instead of "game over".

zuige 2013-08-26 10:27

Great fun this! Well done! What a fun idea. :)

plancien 2013-08-26 10:29

good polish, nice ideas, I love these little guys.
We are guided through the game, difficulty, which often lacks in LD contest.
Kudos !

mekuri 2013-08-26 10:29

This is an awesome game. I beat all the levels. If you decided to expand this game, I will play it for sure. I was entertained all the way through- And I loved that you could move the camera ahead, so that you can plan your strategy. Very nice work!!

nitrocrime 2013-08-26 10:29

Wauw nice game!

dioiminik 2013-08-26 10:31

Awesome Game, it fits the theme very well. Nice Idea and well implemented, very innovative :)

terrabyte 2013-08-26 10:35

First, THANK YOU FOR NOT CALLING THE LINUX BUILD LINUX.TAR.GZ!

Secondly, wow, this is amazing! It's a fantastic game with very interesting gameplay as well as catchy music and nice graphics!

I think that you could easily sell this game if you added even more levels (which, for a 48hr compo, has a lot of levels)!

javifugitivo 2013-08-26 12:48

Great Game, I am enjoying it ;-)

foxfiesta 2013-08-26 12:49

Yeah, like Terrabyte said, it's a cool concept that you could deepen.
Cool graphics and animations, very polished !

mackthehobbit 2013-08-26 12:53

Nice entry, loved the unique link to the theme. The art was definitely awesome, and it was fun to play! The only annoying part was the restart key going back to before the level intro, but apart from that I thoroughly enjoyed it!

toadfrogs 2013-08-26 12:53

Nice game, I've finished it! And I love it... Cute characters there :3

gritfish 2013-08-26 13:01

Fantastic concept, well executed.
Best I've played so far.
I'll definitely come back to it.

kunzbe 2013-08-26 13:14

Fantastic take on the theme. Catchy music

kristof 2013-08-26 13:23

Very creative idea! It was almost a bit sad to watch these nice characters run into their death :)
The controls of the large jumpy guy are a bit frustrating. I had to restart some levels over and over again, as I was not able to get the wall jump working.
But all in all a great game!

ghostik 2013-08-26 13:36

Really great concept! I love it.

latency 2013-08-26 14:48

That was cool, nice use of the theme, really enjoyed that

lcarpentier 2013-08-27 12:00

Really interesting puzzle game. Probably asked for a lot of work!

diogomuller 2013-08-27 12:08

Whoa, great concept and execution. Charismatic characters, fun gameplay, and the music fits well.

nickw 2013-08-27 12:29

Fun puzzler, the different colored characters and the script liven things up.

alexrose 2013-08-27 12:30

Dude, this game is so awesome. Immediately I was laughing. And the little statements got me every time, "Gary spilled the coffee, the office is about to explode".

The characters are so hilarious as well, and well designed. It's immediately obvious who does which, and the hovering over them to see what they do? Great way of showing the player how to play.

And I was really really enjoying it, but it looks like your elevator's bugged. I tried it 3 times and couldn't get it to go any time. But, whatever, we all get annoying bugs like that from time to time, it's still a 5* game. Nice one man.

endurion 2013-08-27 12:36

Very good!

A good fit to the theme! Could be a contender for #1

octopuns 2013-08-27 12:37

Awww man. I haven't had anyone else mention the bugged elevator. :( I'll check it out.

Also, for anyone else that runs into bugs. If you're playing the web or windows build, P will skip levels. Might be useful if you're enjoying the game but can't pass a certain section.

jimmakesgames 2013-08-27 12:39

That was really cool. An effective puzzle platformer. Reminds me a bit of The Lost Vikings, with the characters each having their own unique ability. Graphics are minimalist but they work and the music is catchy.

GreyShock 2013-08-27 13:00

Great game! It's funny and it fits the theme ;)

volute 2013-08-27 13:07

Great concept !

ratalaika 2013-08-27 17:01

good job

xgor 2013-08-27 17:50

Really fun game. Undoubtedly one of the best uses of this theme I've seen so far.

The only bad thing was that the music wasn't very good.

flamecow 2013-08-27 18:04

Neat idea, cute art.

pragmascript_ 2013-08-27 23:53

nice game :-)

jellycakes 2013-08-28 01:21

Was a nice concept, one i've seen used before but not in this way, the terminal text was funny and the game played well. Nice one.

mrroboman 2013-08-28 03:25

Dude, awesome game! Love the concept. The art and audio were good, and the terminal humor was great. One of the better games I've played. I kept falling through the elevator on level 4 in the web version and couldn't complete the level. Good job overall!

pereubu 2013-08-28 12:58

haha i love the animations/chara design. It really gives a good mood to the game.
Great concept and level design overall :D

rylgh 2013-08-28 19:50

Nice job! Quite polished and some nice little touches (like how you can switch guys before you actually walk out the door)

zlowrance 2013-08-29 22:42

Fun game, good idea and art :D

triplefox 2013-08-30 20:48

Funny how almost every level(except the last) could be solved with no loss of life, if only they had the foresight to all enter at the same time.

danvil 2013-09-01 23:28

Nice game. I love the different roles!

paulmcgg 2013-09-03 14:12

I like the role idea & the characters are fairly comedic!

raiyumi 2013-09-04 00:10

Nice game! Feels really polished and slick. ;)
