LD27 — 10 Seconds

Dungen Dogan's Cursed Crew by Deconstructeam 2013-09-08T17:07:00

Really, really cool ! A little bit of frustration when it becomes to hard for my brain though ! I loved the music !

10 second burn by Paul Sinnett 2013-08-30T09:45:00

Really fun ! I had a really hard time landing the probe, and I felt lucky more than a really skilled pilot :) Maybe you could have create an easy-medium-hard level system ? And one or two more levels would have be really fun also. Great job !

Seconds of Light by kristof 2013-08-27T21:36:00

I really liked the game mechanics and the lighting system !
I love when it's simple like this and just working.
The health system provided by how red the screen is works well also
Nice ! :)

Gas and Air! by tripleVisionGames 2013-08-30T10:20:00

Really beautiful, but really hard too ! I think that when you raise the graphics quality like you did, you need to make the game easier ! I would have love to go further, but getting only one of the oil barrel is so damn hard ! In the end, I felt a little frustrated because it is lovely and I can get further !

Legend of Troll by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2013-08-30T09:59:00

I loved it ! The only regret is that there is only one level !

Survive by Andresh 2013-08-27T21:23:00

Indeed, having to watch to kind of ennemies make it interesting and hard as they come from everywhere !
It's hard after a minute ! Quickly highly challenging !
I like it :)

Warped by Catmoo 2013-09-08T16:36:00

Really fun graphics !

Second's Showdown by aschearer 2013-08-28T08:16:00

Easy to get after the first coin :)
Nice design
I did not get the theme here?
Anyway, fun to play a couple of parties with a friend ! :)

RUNTRIS by sgehlich 2013-08-28T12:32:00

Tough but funny game !
I liked it a lot ! :)
I need to stop playing it because it's my launch pause at work, but I'll go back !
Thanks for it !

sine by timtipgames 2013-08-30T09:32:00

Amazing really ! Can't stop playing it !

10s drawing by Webravenz 2013-08-30T09:53:00

Not much to say, except it just works perfectly ! As a graphist, it is really interesting to see how much I can do in 10 secs ! Thanks for creating this !

Blanked. by Marcos Rodrigues 2013-08-28T08:11:00

As woodecker I found the key but then was spotted, a couple of times
I loved the graphics, the mood and the music. Nice work ! :)

How long does 10 seconds last ? by AnnaGavaldaKedavra 2013-09-08T18:57:00

Story is always what catches us ! Interesting game, I got lost in space... too bad !

Offspring by scriptorum 2013-08-27T21:19:00

I like the idea. But it could be a little bit confusing first time you play without reading the rules :)
Interesting game anyways !

Deadly Sunrise by jayhC 2013-09-08T16:03:00

Really fun :) It is really hard from the beginning, but addictive !

Kougeki by ResonantCraft 2013-08-28T21:09:00

Waow, very nice graphics and sound design !
Upgrades and new stuff would have been a great feature !
Nice work !

Ninja Time by DaGamesta 2013-08-27T22:09:00

Working well on my mac, last version of Java
Some levels are hard ! :)
I like the idea of just playing the levels, and even if you die you continue playing and go to the next level.

Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer Falls to his Death by dom2d 2013-08-27T20:51:00

Very nice work ! Very smooth game control. Good game ! :)

Ten Seconds To Venus by markusfisch 2013-08-27T22:26:00

Haha nice !
I resolved the puzzle by randonmly testing combinations but I got it :)

Rude Bear Radio by Alex Rose 2013-08-28T21:20:00

Lol ! 44 mini games in 2 days, holy sh** :)
It was fun to have all those remakes !
Great job !

Spider Tower Defense by GentleHat 2013-09-08T16:14:00

Tower defense are always cool ;) Too bad it's not possible to upgrade the towers !

Shift by Taiters 2013-09-08T18:53:00

Cool idea and nice graphics !

Astray by ign 2013-09-08T17:48:00

Reaaaaalllly cool ! One of my favorite game so far ! You could easily improve the graphics with 3D, but the game works really well ! Can't stop playing it ! thanks !

Xyloctopus by iterative deepening 2013-08-27T22:20:00

Great graphics !
Hard to get the concept but i liked it !
Impossible to use the ctrl key on mac because of some shortcuts for the system, but I liked even if it tooked me some time :)

Invasion of the GooseNappers by ocmu 2013-09-08T17:24:00

Funny !

Duel by zlowrance 2013-08-28T21:43:00

Nice work !
Loved the mechanic of it, simple but efficient :)
Nice design and sound

Film Leader by PixelArtM 2013-08-27T21:48:00

I like the idea and the simple but efficient graphics
It took me a while to get to the big jumb
Liked it :)

Dinosaur Jr. vs the 1960's by devi ever 2013-08-28T08:23:00

Hahaha ! This was completly psychedelic !
LSD TRex carnage !
Loved the crowd running away :)

10 Seconds of Plagues by carlsommer 2013-09-08T17:18:00

It is funny that you have to play the bad guy :) Reminded me of the Prince of Egypt. Nice gameplay for the darkness level ! thanks !

Day of the Vampire by drilltail 2013-08-27T22:34:00

Very nice concept !
Very nice mecanics and gameplay ! Great use of the theme
Well done ! :)

Escape From Homeshank by ColdBrain 2013-09-08T18:37:00

C.U.T.E. !!! Lovely game ! Thanks !

BIRTH by grayhaze 2013-08-28T21:38:00

Interesting use of that quote to get the game
Working smoothly, but to easy at the beginning
Getting challenging after a while
Nice :)

One Way by flavio 2013-08-27T01:17:00

Can you tell me which browser/OS you are using ? I might put the web version somewhere else than Dropbox tomorrow morning in case it's making issues :/

One Way by flavio 2013-08-27T09:39:00

The game has a sound running all the way. This is the main issue with the web version, it's randomly playing part of it. I had no time yet to see why. I'll try to fix it tonight.
I'm removing the windows version for now and I'll build a new one from a PC in the next hour !
Thanks for the feeback !

One Way by flavio 2013-08-27T10:27:00

Windows version is back. The exe is working now but you need Java installed on your machine. You can download it on java.com
The game is also easier in the windows version, I'll fix that issue tonight. Thanks !

One Way by flavio 2013-08-28T12:57:00

Thanks all to play our game and give feedback !

@sgehlich : Neither do we know we could do it on processing ;) But I've never tried other framworks and for our first game we look to be able to finish it. So I went back to Processing.

@optimality : It's fun, other people said it was like a submarine. But to be honest... we never think about being underwater. But indeed, it works very well thinking of it as a diving. :)

UPDATE : Windows version updated. A bad calculation made it way to easier than mac version because of the framerate going low in some cases (don't ask me why). Tried to make the game run smoother also, but it's hard to fix now without rebuilding part of the game. My "Raytracer" is not optimized at all ^^
I'll update linux/mac version tonight with the same fix. Looks to be more an issue in windows anyway.

One Way by flavio 2013-08-28T21:51:00

@Puzzlem00n : Yes, in behalf of my team, I take full responsibility for the font ! I started programming it, put a basic Helvetica while working, and we completely forget to change it even if it was in our TODO list. So it's my fault to use that placeholder and it does not give respect to the rest of the work :(
Thanks for the feedback ! I'll fix that soon
And about filling the full screen, I tried some stuff, but I wasn't even able to change the grey by a black screen. Still trying solutions.

A Timely Dimension of Space by crezefire 2013-08-28T21:29:00

I liked the game mechanic
Not so easy to get the idea of jumping from a dimension to another one to check where to go, but once you got the concept, it's working :)
Nice job !

Deka Sektor by Nega Drive 2013-08-28T21:15:00

Very smooth and fluid game for a web based one :)
Nice graphics also ! Good work

LEGACY by DanHayesGamer 2013-09-08T18:32:00

Beautiful. I loved it, and will remember it.

The Choice by matthewvermaak 2013-08-30T09:50:00

I played it only once. Truly a great experience. It made me wonder about life and choices, so I think you succeeded in your attempt. A beautiful philosophical game ! There might be some work left on graphics ;)

Intensive Care by hoqjed 2013-08-27T22:16:00

Waow !
Really interesting gameplay ! Like the graphism !
Nice strategic thought to have ! It quickly become hard as soon as you lost a room ! Loved it ! :)

Works well on Mac OS 10.8 :)

Jimmy The Knight by torvik88 2013-08-27T21:29:00

I like the use of the theme and the speed of the game.
I was confused about dying as we have no life clues

Half the Time by ZeppelinCaptain 2013-08-27T21:55:00

I loved the way you had to share time and watch out for the two characters :)

Anti-Grav Drive by bnhw 2013-08-30T09:41:00

Simple and addictive really ! Even if it is not always clear how the trajectory works :)

ReTurtle by Metatheos 2013-08-27T21:39:00

Waow, the first round was hard !
It took me some time to get the mecanics
Nice job !

Groceries Madness by iFred_QC 2013-09-08T18:00:00

Sweet ! Great supermarket atmosphere ^^ Kind of hard when you don't understand all the words in english, but really fun !

Beth & Maggie by kebabskal 2013-08-27T22:01:00

Waow, I really liked the mood of the game and the visual result !
Although it was though for me. I had to start a lot of times the first level at the beggining, even reaching the platform at the end and starting the animation to go to the next level, but.. too late.
Anyway I manage to see more ! Nice work
Liked it ! :)

Rewind and Run by JD557 2013-08-27T20:45:00

Nice ! I like the mood of it, the gameplay and how you used the theme !

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

John by Diptoman 2014-04-29T19:09:00

I really liked the concept and the mood created !
Very nice work !

Damned Scouts! by Lama 2014-05-01T11:11:00

Beautiful visuals ! A great job. The game is fun to play, it would be great to have other levels with even funnier deaths !

Ripple Runner by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2014-05-05T15:47:00

Really nice entry !
I like the mechanics and the graphics !
The tutorials works very well too !
Good job

Please Come Back by PapyPilgrim 2014-05-01T15:47:00

Great mood ! And amazing use of the wheel and audio
Nice one !

Beneath the surface with Sir Walter Wuffington by Larzan 2014-04-30T10:47:00

I like the mechanic, but how do I get the other side of an island which has block the map ? :)

Beyond The Dark by Avichal 2014-04-29T19:02:00

That was dark !
I liked the use of the light even if it was not easy sometimes :)
Not easy also with a trackpad
but nice shot !

Diving Simulator 2015 by Phobos001 2014-05-01T11:21:00

LOL :)

Heaving of the Depths by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2014-05-01T13:50:00

It took me untill level 13 to find the beast
Level 9 to beat the 3 guys
Anyway I loved the graphics and the mood
It was repetitive, but what can you do more in so little time ? :)
Too bad also that all the shops are selling the same thing. All that money .. :)

Well done

Wormhunter by Thorig 2014-05-04T17:57:00

Really amazing art work. You need to develop this game ! There should be more worms, more landscapes, more levels ! Beautiful work, lot of potential.

Under the Ice by Dohan 2014-05-01T10:28:00

a lovely and funny game :) thanks !

An Ode to Violence by Benn 2014-05-01T11:19:00

Nice gameplay :)
Nice use of the theme aswell
GG

June 20th by Pierrec 2014-04-29T09:07:00

Ahah j'avais beaucoup aimé At the Cafe et la c'est vraiment cool aussi. Les dialogues et l'ambiance marchent vraiment bien ! Felicitations ! :)

Wriggle Worm by gikdew 2014-04-30T12:16:00

Nice flow, nice and clean build
It can be adictive very fast !
:)

Magma by DMinsky 2014-05-01T13:59:00

Very beautiful and addictive ! 5/5. But I just ended up like Crabman with 88 mysterious survivors...

Rude Bear Revengeance by Alex Rose 2014-04-29T19:38:00

Errors whith the web version :(
Can you compile a mac version for those who are not on windows ?
I'll be back to check that, looks cool ! :)

Moles&Gnomes-Shahids: Holy War TD by Nelly 2014-05-01T13:07:00

A funny tower defense, but I couldn't survive the last wave !

Yay, more squares! by lightsoda 2014-04-29T19:34:00

Hey !
The game was very laggy for me (html5 for mac). Have you used Game Maker? I had issues with laggs to on my project but forcing the use of openGl on the html 5 export solved the lag one. You should try it :)

Nice backgrounds, and funny Boss :)

Wunderheilung by kbm 2014-04-29T08:01:00

I really enjoyed the ambiance and graphics. Too sad it's so short ! We want more characters ! :)

Greed for Gems by mortus 2014-04-29T11:33:00

Woooooow ! I just love it, I am addicted ! I should go and rate other games but this one is way to cool. Amazing job. Bravo.

Note : I had to use the post compo to change the controls.

Beneath the Humans by Frederico Raiss 2014-04-30T13:40:00

nice strangely cryptic atmosphere ! I'd love to see the game with more animations !

Lost Sheep by Boneloaf 2014-05-01T11:15:00

Loved the mood and graphics :)
but I didn't find the controls very easy when the sheep is far

Hanoka by Wolve 2014-04-29T20:01:00

Waow, great work !
I loved the graphics the animations and the mood !
The intro was a little bit long as we can not past the text, but it worth it !
Great work !

Balancitos by NickZangus 2014-04-29T10:35:00

Beautiful and really enjoyable ! Let us know when you add a proper interface and a timer ! Just like everyone, I can't wait to see the game properly "finished". Great job.

Tentacle Rails by javifugitivo 2014-05-01T12:52:00

Crazy and fun ! Cool visuals and gameplay. It seems to me that the game is a little bit hard to play, right from the beginning !

Blackwald Forest by RevelBase 2014-05-04T16:53:00

Very nice entry !
The controls where not that easy on a trackpad, but I really liked your result
Nice work !

Looking for the next par of you making of :)
Cheers !

May I help you? by flavio 2014-05-01T19:31:00

Thanks everyone for your feedback and comments !

We are thinking of some improvements soon, let's see if we can work on it next week end share that we you :)

We are going to add the faces in the dialogues to help to choose and remember who is who. But we won't probably add a map as it's interesting to have a look at the house before to understand the layout, don't you think ?
But if we add the map it could be for an easy version of the game.

@lightsoda : so far with the dialogues you can send the people to other rooms. We didn't had time to finish the "May I help you" option dialogue, which is, indeed, useless, but we had things planned. Let's see if we can put them in the update :)
We'll think about a better way to interact with the people, thanks for the feedback.

@solkar It's not working on macOs 10.9 because of Game Maker, the soft we used to build that game. On mavericks there is nothing displayed. On the bugs tracking system of the app it has been fixed but it looks like the fix is not released yet. I'm sorry, because I'm also on Mavericks and I can't show the game to friends... It's very frustrating. We are looking for the update and will share a working version as soon as possible.

@GresponApps I think next week we'll have a windows 8 version. None of the team has the last windows to compile the game so far.

May I help you? by flavio 2014-05-01T20:45:00

@iambored2006 : What ? How come ? Did you turn any options or something ? Because usually the camera is locked, the menus does work, and the sprites are all fucked up. Do you have any specific version/config ?

May I help you? by flavio 2014-05-02T07:04:00

UPDATE : Mavericks is working now !
Let's say that we thought we had the last version of Game Maker.
Remember : Assumption is the mother of all fuckups !

May I help you? by flavio 2014-05-09T10:47:00

Hi Mortus
We only have made small fixes as it's allowed by the rules, the game didn't changed. Play both versions and you won't see a big difference. It's about balancing little things. And the main thing added, an "NPC", was there during the jam, but our very small playsession back then pushed us to remove it. We think now we were wrong.
Not mentioning the fact that we didn't have 72 hours.

Those changes are clearly listed above. We have left the links for the original Compo version in the game description and we will not touch them of course. We are completely transparent with this and we did some changes according to the feedback we had.
If we had time to add features (during the votes or later) we will also cleary specify any changes.
We thought people playing that entry will enjoy an little bit better balanced game.
There is no new levels or stuff that could trick the players about what we've done during the jam, it's not the point of the update. Sorry if you feel it like that.


Cheers !

BTW, we really loved your game.

Anett by KumoKairo 2014-05-04T08:57:00

A very nice atmospheric game, very immersive. The sound and the visuals really help to get us into these caves !
I wish the character was a little more detailed, since it is present in the screen all the time (maybe some texturing would help ?). Also the level design could be improve, to balance challenge and progression. Great job anyway !

Dowser (Lucy) by fluidvolt 2014-05-01T10:21:00

Cute work
Did the game stop after the "I guess my family's not too bad" ? Because nothing is happening for me after that point
I like the little background and the oncles thing :)

Smoldering Star by Mikhail Lyubimov 2014-04-29T19:06:00

I had to play on the low quality one for web player
Anyway, very nice use of the light and the mood
The use of the shadow is great
I liked it :)

Back To the Surface by Ken Ichi 2014-05-01T13:17:00

Simple and efficient ! I really went quite high back to the surface, but then fell again :/ Good job.

Plop Away by Grafter 2014-05-04T17:41:00

Well. Not much to say... but it made me laugh !

Beneath the City by deepnight 2014-05-01T21:46:00

Amazing work ! A perfectly polished game ! Too bad the story finish like this ;)

Beneath the Surface by FistBumpGames 2014-05-01T11:30:00

Amazing visuals ! That is really beautiful pixel art. I wish the character wouldn't be so low in the screen ! Also the game is way too hard to play oO

Beneath the Surface by FistBumpGames 2014-05-01T12:01:00

Amazing visuals ! That is really beautiful pixel art. I wish the character wouldn't be so low in the screen ! Also the game is way too hard to play oO

Somalia by Tomski 2014-04-29T11:51:00

Lovely game ! Maybe the interface could be slightly improved (like changing the police) and the overall purpose made clearer. Also I couldn't feel a real change in the levels difficulty. But firing canons on pirates is always a pleasure ;) Good job !

Sopora by Crabman 2014-05-01T14:13:00

Great use of the player's imagination ! Very simple and efficient "visuals". I would love to play an improved version of that game with maybe a little bit more time and some sound design.

An old man and space by BuKaneerz 2014-04-29T10:12:00

Very beautiful work ! It is so lovely that you really want to explore the game. But I had a really hard time understanding the game mechanics. Also the purpose of the game is a little but unclear. Maybe you could improve the informations provided to the player ?

Beneath your feet by Druid 2014-05-04T17:38:00

Amazing visuals. I mean, it is really efficient and immersive. And beautiful. Just a few pixels and you're in the story, bravo. Only one thing bothered me : the game is a little bit short and the ending is slightly disappointing. Great work anyway.

Barry the Avalanche Dog by Delicious Code 2014-05-01T10:55:00

wow... a disturbing game it is. A very serious topic that you treated lightly... why not ? But I had a hard time finding the people under the avalanche, even though I pointed them with my finger on the screen before they get buried !

Olm by Pfeyffer 2014-05-01T11:15:00

I like the concept, and I wish I could have move further in the game !

Jupiter Lander by IvanDashSmith 2014-05-04T17:25:00

Wow. Way too hard for me. And I love space stuff so I can't give an objective feedback ! I felt that hitting the border of the screen didn't make much sense ;)

Fuel Me Once by 4026 2014-05-04T09:39:00

I took me about 15 minutes to really understand how it works, and then after drilling some oil the game finished because the "globe warm" or something like that ! 1,500 dollars I got. It looks like it could be a lot of fun if the game was polished ! I liked the sound of the detector in the sand ! I also liked the old GTA controls, even if it can be a bit annoying sometimes.

ShipMates by friken 2014-05-04T17:12:00

Visuals and sounds are beautiful and so refreshing ! I feel a "soul" in this game, I mean it is not only 0 and 1, but characters are alive... even if I was unable to understand what to do !

SUPER LANDSHARK MISSILE ATTACK! by Tuism 2014-05-01T10:44:00

LOL :)

Keep the Gem! by lukepilgrim 2014-04-30T12:11:00

Yeay I did it in 70 seconds ! :)

Nice !

Hey, you!! by Crocanti de Pollo 2014-05-01T13:09:00

Cool concept and graphics !
Well done ! :)

Kill or Kill by GreatBigJerk 2014-04-30T12:40:00

Hey ! We had the same idea about the theme ! cool and crazy :)

our game --> "May I help you"

Dagfin by DraKlaW 2014-05-01T14:51:00

What are we suppose to do in the dark after the blue thing ?

ScoopIt! by reallymany 2014-05-01T11:20:00

The concept it fun, it would be great to have proper animations of sweet kitties to make the game really enjoyable !

Alien Lobotomy by Soup With Bits 2014-04-29T19:20:00

Waow, I was lost, it took me a while to get it.. not easy one
Nice puzzles once you get it !

Infection by InfectionTeam 2014-05-01T21:16:00

How did you manage to do all this oO ??? It is amazing. 5/5. We want to work with you next time ;)

For the Blood by henriquejas 2014-05-04T18:03:00

Great idea ! Need to be improved, the sound will add a lot !

The Gathering by oatsbarley 2014-05-01T11:12:00

10 days, 50 loss, 190 inhabitants ! \o/
Loved the graphics and mood :)

Worm Quest by kill0u 2014-05-01T14:39:00

Simple and addictive ! I restarted the game 3 times before giving up ! I wish that when you die you respawn at the previous level !

Sword and Shovelry by tayl1r 2014-05-04T16:44:00

Not very original, but efficient and addictive ! Good work !

Down by Lost King 2014-05-01T12:41:00

This looks promising ! I was exploring the cave but at some point my character didn't appear on the screen (where there is an old naked guy ??).

Whistle by AhNinniah 2014-04-29T19:15:00

I had no idea of what was going on
But I loved the sound work
:)

The Quest for Unobtanium by Redream 2014-04-30T12:20:00

Damn it looks good, but blocked on my browser (I'll install the plugin later)
and when I download the desktop, a window opens and quicly closes :(
Mac 10.9, Java installed
I'll try again tonight :)

Six Clouds Above by Eniimal 2014-05-04T16:57:00

The concept is great and would deserve an improvement in the game play : it is quite hard to get the enemies down. Love the simple 3D design. Good job !

a Tree... by dsoft20 2014-04-29T19:26:00

At the beginning it was confusing. Did I really understand what was going on ?
But I like the mood and use of the theme !
Are all the roots behind the roots of the other players ? That's an amazing idea !
A big collaborative game
Good game ! :)

Introspectrum by solkar 2014-05-01T12:32:00

that was interesting experience

Arrow keys maybe ? Even if it's moving in diagonal, a convention could be fine like down = down left, left = down right, up = up left and left = up left ?
Or clicking somewhere he could go on his diagonal may move him n times untill the place you clicked ?

(BTW, our game works on Mavericks now :) )
