LD26 — Minimalism

The Road by GeorgeBroussard 2013-04-29T05:46:00

HARD! But hilarious death messages.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Sausage Gobbler by Entity2D 2013-08-26T23:35:00

5* for just the name. :)

The First Odyssey by davisan 2013-08-26T21:31:00

This is pretty fun, I played it for awhile--although it seems the only 10 second element is picking up 10 second time pickups? After awhile I had almost 2 minutes on the clock. I like the arrow trajectories and the maps are tricky!

10 Seconds to Self Destruct by gritfish 2013-08-28T23:31:00

Why would I ever not want to run? After all--I've got TEN SECONDS TO SELF DESTRUCT!!! :)

Bomb Squad by Eamon 2013-08-26T21:24:00

Great little game. Music is kind of hilariously dramatic.

Ten 10-Second Seconds by Chrixeleon 2013-08-29T01:13:00

5* for the graphics, of course. Screen shake FTW! :)

Chicken Snatch by tigerj 2013-09-02T13:36:00

This is a pretty good game! I dig the retro style. Great use of ImpactJS. I wonder how it would perform on mobile?

Two minute mayhem by bvanschooten 2013-08-29T20:43:00

Pretty neat idea--this was similar to an idea I had before I decided to do a thruster game.

Balloon Rescue by andreyin 2013-08-26T21:37:00

SUPER HARD! :)

Tower Infinity by esayitch 2013-08-28T05:22:00

Pretty cool trimmed down RTS.

Speedungeon by Xaychru 2013-08-26T19:40:00

Hah--GREAT idea! It kinda-sorta reminds me of a dungeon hack version of Half Minute Hero (except with 10 seconds!)

10 Second Tai by Teejay5 2013-08-28T05:03:00

Hilarious. I wish I had a jet pack to get to school back in the day.

MatchiMatchi by Jesper Oskarsson 2013-08-27T18:33:00

Not quite sure how the 10 seconds theme relates? I saw a 10 second timer at some point on the left, but I'm not sure why or how it came up. Otherwise, it is a fully functional match-3 game!

Cyber Sh*tty 10Secs by lazyeels 2013-08-27T16:45:00

I kind of keep falling out of the level.

10 Seconds to Save the World by HacksawUnit 2013-08-26T21:36:00

I know it's a bug, but I think the fact that the game runs in basically a tiny banner ad is kind of hilarious. 5* graphics just for that fact alone. :) Making games microscopic makes them much more challenging! :)

The Ten Ten Seconders by Subi 2013-08-26T19:45:00

TOTAL CHAOS! :)

Taen Saeck by Typedeaf 2013-08-27T16:44:00

Love the art style!

Clean Quickly by Lyonsbanner 2013-08-26T19:43:00

I feel like such a failure for not being able to clean the entire room. :)

Ten Seconds of Thrust! by wulfdesign 2013-08-27T18:36:00

Same title as mine, great minds think alike! :)

Ten Down by Sebastian 2013-08-31T04:53:00

Wow, a NICE looking game. Controls are a little tricky. I'd almost prefer dual-stick style with the keyboard.

Future Sport 3000 by Alexander 2013-08-30T05:40:00

Can't wait for the YEAR 3000!

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-25T21:49:00

Still a few more hours to go. I'll probably add some polish.

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-26T19:37:00

Oops, yeah U,D,L,R means Up, Down, Left, Right arrow keys. I should have just said arrow keys.

Thanks for the comments! If I fix that Windows bug I'll probably just put up a separate link since I'm not sure it's allowed.

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-26T22:52:00

Yeah if you don't go to the next level, let me know what OS/Browser you are using. As far as I know, it works on all OSX browsers, but this bug always happens on Windows. (Which is weird since it's Unity!!)

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-27T05:37:00

Yeah I totally should have used a block sprite for the thruster particles.

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-27T16:42:00

Wow, Unity tech support is fast--they found the bug. I guess the collision normals are inconsistent between Windows and OSX. I'll probably put up a link to a fixed version once I figure out a different way to detect landings.

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-27T16:43:00

Yeah if you are able to get to the next levels, basically they sort of raise in difficulty by putting more obstacles in the center of the path, and less time boost capsules. I had plans for moving enemies and other obstacles as well.

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-27T18:29:00

Yeah I might fix the bug today, I know what it is now. I'll probably put up a 2nd link with the fixed version, so that purists can consider the submitted one, but others might want to use the bug-fixed version.

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-28T04:56:00

OK--so I have put a link to the FIXED version for Windows (well it works on Windows and OSX).

It turns out, the normals you get back from collisions not only are inaccurate, but inconsistent between platforms. So instead I'm using the position of the collision points to detect landing.

I took the collision volume off of the endzone object which also makes the in-game music louder. There's a sound source at the end that gets louder as you get closer. When I added the last minute hack (a box collider) around it, for some reason it made the music super quiet.

So I'm not sure if this is breaking the rules or not, hence I've kept both versions up. The WEB version is the original and FIXED WEB has the landing fix. Thanks!

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-08-29T20:41:00

Yeah I love your sprite generator!!!! I could suggest a few improvements, but it's really awesome.

Might as well list some improvements here:

* Ability to specify size of the sprites/tiles

* Ability to specify hue range of tiles (like, I want a bunch of green-ish ones)

* Ability to specify naming convention. Like ForestTile-X.png and then X ends up being the tile number or something.

Ten Seconds of Thrust by flarb 2013-09-02T13:34:00

I LOVED Work Time Fun! My favorite was "Let's Protest!" which was kind of ripped off on the PS3 with "The Last Guy."

MegaPunch by Nick Weihs 2013-08-28T20:55:00

Wow--real-time multipalyer in a weekend. I dig it.

PYRAM1D by CogentInvalid 2013-08-31T04:48:00

The graphics remind me of old Spectrum games, I dig it!

The Master of All Magic by marbu 2013-08-31T04:49:00

You finished a game, plus it has a duck--that's worth a few points.

GURU GURU by Makio64 2013-08-30T00:00:00

WOW! This is one of the most polished entries I've seen! I did mange to somehow break out of the map, though.

100-Dash Dreams by frogcheese 2013-08-31T09:45:00

Decathalon + Punch Out = awesome

Space-Time Adventure by OldPeculier 2013-08-31T04:55:00

Wow, SUPER polished for 48 hours.

The Choice by matthewvermaak 2013-08-29T16:45:00

Definitely one of the stronger story-based entries.

YorkTime by Steve | tacospice 2013-08-26T21:34:00

Dig the music!

10 Seconds in Hell by AmyDee 2013-08-28T21:55:00

Did you record the synthesized voices? Or is there some way in Unity to dynamically produce synthesized voice?!

GridBall by Tinard 2013-08-29T16:46:00

SUPER hard. :)

Streets of Rift by wkerslake 2013-08-30T05:37:00

GENIUS!

Ten 2nd's by Nights57 2013-08-26T23:33:00

Hahaha--I love this game. The idea of getting 2nd place is genius. That could be a whole LD48 theme - "underachievement"

Tiny Arena by Dooleus 2013-08-28T23:36:00

Like them music and graphics--seems like you can hang the game by mashing keys a bit. (Well at least get the character stuck)

DEAD OF THE NIGHT by tiooonnn 2013-08-29T01:10:00

Brilliant!

The Village of Lost Time by EpaceGames 2013-08-26T19:39:00

GREAT graphics!!

Proletarian Ninja X by deepnight 2013-08-26T21:20:00

WOW?!?!!?!? This is amazing. Really neat mechanics too--practically ready to be shipped as a commercial game.

Doomed for Eternity by Knighty 2013-08-26T21:16:00

Love the graphics! But needs a clock!

Ten Second Germification by DeanoC 2013-08-29T22:44:00

The game of life is kind of relentless--regardless of your input, life goes on! :)

Nonzero by koller-digital 2013-08-29T22:42:00

Definitely original!

Keep Flying by bushmango 2013-08-26T19:38:00

Like a SUPER FRANTIC FTL. :)

10s Zombies by Myyyvothrr 2013-08-31T09:47:00

Love the music.

Penguin Racer Go Go by refreshgames 2013-08-28T04:59:00

Wow, really polished! I love the music too.

Postal Service Tango by Yapikom 2013-08-31T04:51:00

Wow--we need a 1 hour game jam. :)

Mutatris by CiderPunk 2013-08-27T18:35:00

Wow, this is impossible. :) Pretty neat idea! After a few mutations, it's impossible to make any lines though! I wonder what the highest score is.

ROBOT PLANET by GeorgeBroussard 2013-08-29T01:11:00

Super fun and polished. Love the sound!

Megacombo Hypercrosser 2013 by syre 2013-08-30T05:38:00

I dig the frantic microscopic gameplay. :)
