LD27 — 10 Seconds

Download Simulator 2013 by mobyvb 2013-09-06T18:32:00

Pretty hard game, but I really love the "backstory".
I finally got an idea of how to get through the last one, but it's impossible to me :D

Dungeon Deadline by Orni 2013-09-15T22:07:00

This was so much fun. I'm still excited :O Need to kill dat bozZ...

Planet Monster by 01010111 2013-09-08T13:14:00

awesome sound! needed a while to figure out how the gameplay worked though

10Seconds Racer by orangepascal 2013-08-26T10:08:00

really love how this voice says "time","nitro","game over" :D
would love an option to mute that background music/noise thing, though ;)

SliP by Sakuyan 2013-09-08T13:21:00

I really love the concept and the graphics. Some times it was quite hard to controll

Just 10 More Seconds! by S0larCode 2013-09-03T12:38:00

backslashed does as well not work under linux. forward slashes should probably work everywhere.

Chicken Snatch by tigerj 2013-09-09T08:33:00

the controlls are really smooth
I did a lot of death-abusing :D (but it wouldn't make sence if the chicken was suddenly alive again ;))

Clockwork Cat by patrickgh3 2013-09-06T09:44:00

this game is soooo awesome and adorable :3
controls felt pretty smooth and the mood was perfect.

I'm just so sad, that it's already over now. Needs moar levels!

The Value of Time by infernet89 2013-09-06T18:51:00

I was totally overwhelmed, when the second cursor from the past came up and I got how well the messages fit
awesome!

T1me Twist0r by DigiTec 2013-09-08T18:24:00

laughed so hard :D
audio does not work in firefox and the scrolling text seems wrong in chrome

Beam me up by 1176Studios 2013-09-06T18:44:00

pretty hilarious :D
Though it was quite easy, as I somehow found a spot, where no guard game by.

Shuttle Quest by rasmusrn 2013-08-26T08:50:00

I'm annoyed by having to start from the beginning each time ;)
But so you can use the x-thing in earlier levels as well to get some time, so I see why you did that.

Though I would not make the "air whirl" a point, but rather a line, as I quite often missed it and so lost some precious time

Runner Up by Jeremy Nikolai 2013-09-03T12:50:00

wow! I really like your take on the theme and how the controls feel :)
The only thing that is strange to me is why its so "glibberish" when you are of the street. would be better if you'd just be slowed down

The Run by GagaPete 2013-09-08T14:04:00

Being able to stick to a wall makes this game way more fun than it would be without. But it felt wrong to me, that you have to press up to move up when you stick to the wall. Don't know why, but I'm always trying to press right in that case :O

Host by Darzoz 2013-09-09T08:39:00

love the people with the crucifixes trying to stop you (reminds me of another funny game :D)

How long does 10 seconds last ? by AnnaGavaldaKedavra 2013-09-07T08:32:00

quite hard to figure out, what to do first, but when I got it, I was suprised about the different storylines

Deadly Sunrise by jayhC 2013-09-16T07:37:00

huh, that was hard. But it's a lot of fun and the controls work really well.

Subject 18120 by deammer 2013-09-09T08:51:00

You blocked your dropbox link (probably dropbox changed it links?) so we can just play the postcompo version on kongregate?

Kougeki by ResonantCraft 2013-09-16T07:42:00

Wow. that art-style is fantastic :)

Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer Falls to his Death by dom2d 2013-09-04T14:58:00

that music fits soo well. couldn't stop laughing :D

Ten Seconds To Venus by markusfisch 2013-09-08T18:49:00

the time pressure makes this quite interesting.
would be cool to have different ways to solve this, though

10 10 Second Game Design Lessons by douglasv 2013-09-07T13:53:00

Awesome!
Need to come back to this before next jam :D

Tourmaline by NMcCoy 2013-09-06T18:58:00

the music fits so well with the dash sound, but I don't like the hit sound, so I cought me flying a lot of time just around the start-button and enyoing how the music is changed by my actions :)

Slime Quest by drkrunk 2013-09-06T09:52:00

thiss is soooo cute :3 wish I could draw like that.
though I'm not skilled enough to solve the last levels :O

10 second roguelike by jackyjjc 2013-09-02T12:43:00

really cool game, that makes you feel how long ten seconds can be. Would like to see a post compo version with more levels and stuff <3

Armageddon by 4xisblack 2013-09-08T17:41:00

quite atmospheric game. would be cool if you added more content so you really have the feel of having missed something

10 Second Life by Back to Browse Entries 2013-09-04T15:02:00

kind of cool to have a big maze, but a simple way leads through it. But those invisible walls are really annoying

Starshina Escape by Back to Browse Entries 2013-09-09T08:49:00

the graphics are just awesome! :3

Ten 2nds by laubisch 2013-09-06T18:46:00

best score I could get was 2,0446 D:
though quite interesting take on the theme

GIMP the Tapedeck-Operated Robot by Zuige 2013-09-09T08:24:00

really love the idea that you have a tape of ten seconds and not a general time limit. gives more time to think and makes everything feel better :)

The Relativity (of 10 seconds) by dismedia 2013-09-08T18:54:00

-4.5, 2.0, -1.7, -0.2, -0.7 --> 8.7
needed some time to figure out the first three seconds were real. I've seen some more of these games, but this one is the best as it has other mini games in it :D

Ten Second Clone by Dream Of Sleeping 2013-09-08T13:42:00

this concept is AWESOME!
Best score I could get was 10, as my past beings are tooo good in this game :P

10 Second Shooter by mcbeckjr 2013-09-04T15:10:00

quite a lot of fun, the controls felt good and the music is awsome. just could use better graphics ;)

Sequor by Laddo D 2013-09-04T10:45:00

quite hard to keep track of where all your servants are. lost most of them on the saw :/

Ten 2nds by jihop 2013-09-04T10:48:00

It was way more fun, than I imagined when I read the description :D cool interpretation of the theme!

Kill ALL Saucers by idiotcoder 2013-09-08T13:09:00

hard game! might be easier if the ship would move faster?

Megahacker by waveofbabies 2013-09-16T08:23:00

some files seem to be missing :O
got a lot of 404s

Antarctic-Toc by Meep 2013-08-29T09:57:00

awwww it's sooo cute :3

In ten seconds can you...? by SumGato 2013-09-02T11:15:00

Found it quite hard, that you die if you hit a wall in the maze level, but after i figured the way out the math was my problem (I believe my solutions were correct, but why didn't it accept them?)

SUPER NUKE ROMAN EMPIRE by brogrammers 2013-09-04T15:24:00

really love those options :D

T-Minus by dingotime 2013-09-08T18:16:00

Interesting concept!
But I'm horrible at moving things under time pressure :O

Teenage Dream by ploe 2013-09-02T15:57:00

quite hard, as my keyboard does not accept so many key presses per second.
another tip: remote the .git folder and your source gets smaller ;) (doesn't matter to much here)

10 Seconds To Live by borden 2013-09-08T15:18:00

I got kind of sad when I realised after ~5 seconds that there was nothing I could do.

Seamless by evilentity 2013-09-02T10:25:00

I really like the idea to have "checkpoints" to reach in 10 seconds.
But it's quite confusing how it scrolls. It's generally good to show more of the direction the player is heading in, but it should be gentle and smooth and not such abrupt. The scrolling makes the controls seem harder, than they are.

10-Second Shadow Block-Dude! by bhopkins 2013-09-09T08:20:00

cool concept, but it needs more variety

Justin Time by MrRoboman 2013-09-09T09:48:00

the intro was funny :D should add some "rise" of difficulty though, so that things like "11" come earlier ^^

In10's by Wireless 2013-09-04T15:05:00

feels so nostalgic :)

Trash Robots by Daniel X. Moore 2013-09-02T15:36:00

interesting concept!
might be more fun if you did not have the ten second limit to configure your robots, but maybe the aim should be to destroy the enemies in ten seconds.
still pretty cool :)

LD27 Matching Platformer by anthonyl 2013-09-04T10:31:00

The concept is quite clever, but you should rather have "lifes" than die instantly (with no replay button?) when you are hit from above or are trapped between two towers.
another tip: just add a score display (maybe in the last hour of your time) to give the player at least some sort of "reward".

Inspector Hector by wademcgillis 2013-09-04T14:39:00

omg. everything came so unexpected :D
so much fun, although the VVVVVV-style-controls feel a bit wired.

Box Man by black_mage_andy 2013-09-01T15:17:00

nice concept, but it could have used some more levels before the final one as difficulty extremly high in this one

Keep Flying by bushmango 2013-09-05T17:22:00

this is the game where I laughed most yet :D

Deathbed by airdeck 2013-09-16T08:08:00

quite hard as q and o and i and j were the same. but really nice concept!

10 Seconds Jump by Hopps 2013-09-04T10:38:00

It needed a time to get a feel for the jumping, but then it was rather easy. I failed 13 times.

Low Battery by RHY3756547 2013-09-04T08:00:00

at first I thought I would never make it to the second level, but then I got attached and suddently the pressure became fun. no idea, how you did that. great game!

Mutatris by CiderPunk 2013-09-02T11:21:00

whoa. get's quite hard, when there are more then three mutations. Maybe there would be a way to make "easier" mutations, that fit well with the existing tetris scheme.

TOO MANY BULLETS by mklee 2013-09-02T10:38:00

I wonder whether you have seen the "Juice it or lose it" talk by grapefrukt :D

RELAY by Homletmoo 2013-09-06T10:04:00

When I managed to find out, how it works, it was really fun. As well I think the music fits well. Just the third level was unproportional hard for me.

Castle of Doom by emveyh 2013-09-07T13:41:00

controls feel good, but I would rather like to see the levels sorted by difficulty rather than having them randomly

Escape in 10 Seconds by Manoloko 2013-09-04T14:54:00

was easier than thought. though the music got somehow annoying after a few levels

Jackton Factory by Pitƶik4 2013-09-02T10:45:00

I'm really impressed by the concept, although it's quite confusing. I think there can be a "real" (longer, more complex, but simpler to understand) game done with.

LD28 — You Only Get One

The Last Match by Ashtom 2013-12-19T23:12:00

Lightning is awesome (except on the player)
But it would need some more explanation (what's this bar on the top good? when is it there at all? we can only go trough the exit if the torch is lightet?)
But I think it's good that we can see the shape of the maze when we look exactly (or turn up the brightness of the screen) as else you have no way to find back if you light goes out.

Left by MM 2013-12-19T21:59:00

soo hard. only managed to save one guy :(

YOGO PATH by cesisco 2013-12-19T22:17:00

so many things about this game are awesome. the graphics, the audio, the mechanic. Would love to have it a little simpler, so i could get further than 3

Mega Gungineer Chronicles 3: Final Gun! by StoneMonkeyStudios 2013-12-21T20:55:00

The linux version is missing a data and a mono folder :O

Doubt by rxi 2013-12-23T16:45:00

is there a way out of the room with four doors? :O

Nirvana [web] by Erik Örjehag 2013-12-20T23:28:00

The concept is really nice, but I keep getting "glued" to the stairs and losing money because I'm not that fast.

parallelsync by 0x0961h 2013-12-17T12:22:00

really cool idea! would love to see this mechanic explored more indepth.

Apocalypse One by jinxly 2013-12-23T16:29:00

Had some issues with the controls and found it funny that you can simply walk out of the map to the left, but the graphics are awesome.

You Only Get One Direction by Techblogogy 2013-12-19T23:08:00

Also getting the 0xc000007b on Windows 8 64-bit :(

Single-Shot Space Hero: Adventures Through Time and Space; Encounters With The Green Worms of the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt Planetoid Quaoar by mutilator 2013-12-17T12:27:00

awesome graphics. the controls feel glibberish though. And I'm not quite sure how this works, as I seem to be able to play around with the bullet by reflecting it with the ship?

Click Click Cat by GravityScore 2013-12-19T20:13:00

I like these graphics so much :)
would be nice if the intro was skippable

Caverns of the Curse of Greed by Espyo 2013-12-19T22:01:00

Dropbox link is down? screenshots look nice. can't wait to play&rate it

That One Coin by diegocbarboza 2014-01-03T20:57:00

Oww maaaaan, this is so cool. Laughed really hard, once I found out :D

One Arrow by 7elephants 2013-12-23T16:48:00

the controls feel so smooth. like to play this.

Moon's quest by JaJ 2013-12-19T15:55:00

I liked the graphics and the overall feel, but I'd improve the speed of the fights. After a time the slow animations get a little annoying

You only get one COLOUR by soy_yuma 2013-12-19T21:56:00

Really loved the textboxes which told some kind of "story" fitting to the level :)

TITAN SOULS by Claw 2013-12-23T17:10:00

This is soo polished. I can't beat anything, but the rolling feature reminds me of the minish cap :3

Dungeon Raider by The Evil Cult 2013-12-23T16:25:00

this is really cool!
I wish I could draw as good as you

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Command Line Hacker by bitowl 2015-04-21T13:14:00

Thanks for your feedback!
I didn't have motivation to test it in other browsers than firefox.

But backspace and autoscrolling should now work in chrome as well.

Square Sprint by jackrugile 2015-04-27T11:22:00

This game is lots of fun even with (or maybe because of) the simple concept. I really liked it!

Banana Nana by miau 2015-04-21T12:35:00

This game is awesome!
I love the graphics and I'm impressed by the coding you have done.

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

rising bubble by bitowl 2015-12-16T21:55:00

Uhh. I didn't even thought of the space key anymore. It's not part of the intended gameplay and just a leftover debug thing :D

Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-19T10:37:00

I hate you for cancelling Half Life 3!

Santa Rush by Dohxis 2015-12-15T12:11:00

those graphics are cute :3

Hypernova by Efuvex 2015-12-19T11:51:00

Linux link should link to HypernovaFinalLin.zip. Then everything's working.

One Man Spaceship by MrDave 2015-12-15T17:02:00

those sounds are amazing :D
I like the concept very much!

Wild Growth by Leon Möhring 2015-12-19T13:05:00

so relaxing :)

LD42 — Running out of space

Blow the Hen Down by NickZangus 2018-08-14T21:16:17Z

Really nice game! The mood is just perfect. That feeling when I first managed to clean out the lower deck just to go up and find houndreds of more chickens. And then the moment I finally realised I can just drop the bombs. Graphics and music match the feeling as well. I'm really impressed!

Little Shop of Junk by auxC 2018-08-21T15:43:59Z

What a great game! I really hope you continue working on it and create more content. The whole design is so polished and the controls feel very good (except of course if there are lots of items lying around ^^). I wish you had more time between the days to clean up your store at least a little bit.

Garbage Collector by bitowl 2018-08-19T15:57:52Z

@naali Which browser were you using on which Operating System when that error occurred? I have not seen that one yet.

Splinter $ell by Colletto Gregory 2018-08-14T20:35:56Z

I really like the general idea of your game. Especially that the old leftover boxes you did not use stay when you get more space / another printer. This really gives the feeling of running out of space after some time.

However the controls make the game harder to play than it needs to be. I often got confused what left and right mouse button did and it was hard to select all the blocks needed for a form and then finding the correct order for it. If you want to improve this further in the future I think a more intuitive control scheme would be to drag and drop to switch blocks and to click to (de-)select a block. To make it easier, the first matching order could be selected automatically once the shape fits.

Sadly if you play it fullscreen on a 16x9 monitor you cannot see what the bottom most order is which makes it even harder.

ECO WARRIORS by FreeLivesGames 2018-08-19T17:17:33Z

I really like this game! I even downloaded the post-jam version afterwards to play through the levels again just because it was that much fun. I hope you take the time to build more content some time in the future!
