LD27 — 10 Seconds

X-TREEEME Pin the Tail on the Donkey by Tim Bumpus 2013-08-27T04:00:00

Same as above, the game broke when I reached donkey in level 2.
It's pretty awesome though ! Love the concept. The music is simple yet catchy and doesn't get annoying, the graphics are effective, and the fact I needed three peeks at level 2 to get it right makes me want to play the next levels real hard.
Good job !

No Time to Stop by Alink 2013-08-31T21:24:00

Now THAT was challenging. Yet fun and addictive. The puzzles really look like you've given them a lot of though. Good job !

Ludum Dare by Dir3kt 2013-09-05T23:27:00

I AM SO NUMBER 1 IN THEME.
I lol'd, like, really. This is both stupid and excellent. Great job !

10 Second Defense by tomsik68 2013-08-31T23:17:00

Nicely done ! A literal tower defense game, with sweet little power-up and stuff. Maybe a little to hard in the beginning ?
Sweet anyway :D

The Ones You Love by zatyka 2013-08-29T00:37:00

Excellent.

10 second onsalught by wilbefast 2013-09-03T00:28:00

Nice entry guys ! Except I don't really see the point of placing your soldiers after 0 seconds. Isn't it less useful ? Except for the mines, maybe, but the soldiers...
Great anyway !

TimeFlex by jprogman 2013-08-27T05:05:00

The flex mechanism is still a little confusing for me, but it's not that bad, and one can perfectly enjoy the game without it.
Great job !

Eiradirian Timejumpers by blay09 2013-08-31T12:49:00

Too bad I couldn't actually play, since my keybord isn't WASD and even changing its layout wouldn't work. Looks very interesting and well made.

Phase Warrior by CogComp 2013-08-31T17:33:00

Nice idea, really, the sound is cool and the graphics pretty neat. However, the UI is too crowded. Way too many stuff on the screen.

Continuing running by Badrpas 2013-08-27T08:11:00

Great game pal ! Nice mazes, didn't see that one coming :D A little tricky to handle, but once you get the hang of it, it's really nice. A little repetitive music would have been perfect to drive people crazy on no time. :)
One little thing : the character's arm on the falling/jumping animation seems to be cut off, it's really bothering me for no valid reason XD

Ten Second Tournament by Ray_Mickelino 2013-08-27T04:37:00

Fun, but the game is a little too difficult indeed.

Protozoa by Pumkin 2013-09-03T00:30:00

Nice one guys :) Well you know what I think about your game, since you had me playing idiot next to you all the time :D

At the cafe by Pierrec 2013-09-03T00:12:00

Same as above, fullscreen broke my computer :(

Hungry Fishers Dream Team by TijmenTio 2013-08-29T12:20:00

Very, very, very good. One of my favourites entries so far. Great job.

10 seconds of hope by tobbez 2013-08-27T08:59:00

This is fun, yet too fast, waaaay too fast. The concept seems nice, and love the intro and death screen.

Five Seconds by Latcarf 2013-08-27T13:34:00

Damn, this must be easier with a pad, 'cause I can't get past level 5 with a keybaord >< Very good. The sound every second should be a little less loud, I think. By the way, is that the sound of a pen falling on a table ? :P

The Devil That Comes by Zetsaika 2013-09-02T23:30:00

Wow.
Just... wow.
Got a little hard time understanding what I was supposed to do, but it's really FUCKING INTENSE.
Excellent job, very original.
...
Wow.

The Red Door by ticlekiwi 2013-09-03T00:06:00

Ha-ha. Remember how I hated you during the jam for your game ?
WELL THAT DIDN'T IMPROVE.
:P Great entry and stuff.
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

By the way you think level down when dying is bad ? Well originally you restarted THE WHOLE FREAKING GAME. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

Time and Shapes by Woftles 2013-08-29T00:23:00

Okay, I should probably stop playing now, or I'll stay up all night. Loved it, 'nuff said.

Tensed Seconds by triforcespark 2013-08-27T08:53:00

Fun game, really, but the odd jumping mechanics make it quite hard. The fact that you start over from level 1 tend to make people not want to play more than a few times, and that's a shame, 'cause you've got a nice little game here.

Forage by Nucleartree123 2013-09-09T11:42:00

Hey, don't you think it's hard enough to make a game with the usual conditions, you want a better challenge ? :P
For a two hours job, it's kind of great actually !

10 Second Dragon Feeder by Wertle 2013-08-27T08:43:00

THAT.WAS.AWESOME.
First, this dragon is the cutest thing since cute.
Second, the music is catchy as hell.
Third, the sound make it perfect.
Fourth, I hate your level three.

Anyway, you've done an amazing job here. One of my favourite so far. Keep going !

Ten Second Defense by Super Hamster 2013-09-02T23:15:00

Good game overall ! The difficulty is a little unbalanced, it's difficult to get it started, but once it's done, you're basically unstoppable. The game's currently playing on its own in here, and enemies can't get past the first turn. Plus the colors are a little... say... aggressive.
But very good job overall !

Ten Second Defense by Super Hamster 2013-09-02T23:35:00

Twenty minutes later, the whole map is covered in Godly Towers :D

Ten Seconds by Adjotur 2013-08-27T08:26:00

Oh you funny person ! That pun just made my day. Sonic fan, aren't we ? :P
The game is good, even if a little slow. I had no music, which looks like it's a bug, and gave up at level 4 because of these cannon-thwomp-like-thingies. The physics is slightly bugged, and this can get annoying when one gets stuck just at the end of the level. Plus I find jumping little to aerial.

Excellent game though, and once again, nice pun !

inTENse by polarkac 2013-08-27T09:13:00

Simple yet very efficient. A little more animation would have been nice though, like arms moving or something. and the difficulty is a little too random : started within eyeshot of the end on my first attempt, but couldn't find it at all on the second.
Great anyway !

mircale_ten_second by xerysherry 2013-08-27T04:19:00

THIS. IS. AWESOME. REALLY.
Losing an enemy tailing you is a little tricky, but is the key of the game. The difficulty is generally progressive and well thought, even if sometimes a little irregular.
Loved it ! Keep jamming !

Cheese It! by sebasRez 2013-08-31T23:12:00

Great entry ! Nice graphics, sweet sounds, lovely gameplay. Good job on this, really !

The Necromancer by sam1373 2013-08-27T11:16:00

Excellent ! I mean it !

Blackout by X-0r 2013-09-01T00:14:00

Excellent entry, really. Good music, nice story, nice little puzzle. Would have been perfect if you discovered YOU used the bat to solve a paradox, but hey, I'm not going to blame you for this :P Nice mood too.

Ten second(s) hand-swords by Gaspard_ 2013-08-27T09:08:00

Can't play either, the game is way too slow with the .jar. Too bad, this looked promising :(

One Way by flavio 2013-09-03T00:20:00

My computer doesn't like your game, but then again, my computer is an idiot, because it is awesome, really. The mood is very well done, and even a little oppressing at times.
You guys have done well, it the " other room ", like actual work, while we were just procrastinating :P

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T09:21:00

Really ? That's weird, first time hearing about this issue. I'm going to look into it.

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T10:50:00

Brogrammers, that's because it's SUPERnuclear. See, that's heavy and stuff. Hence the fall.
Fixed the ending ! Now you can be properly taunted one last time once you finish the game.

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T12:06:00

I plead guilty, it's a massive creepypasta mistake that I thought I corrected. I didn't. Thanks everyone, I'm on it.

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T12:21:00

Okay, the memory leak should be much better by now.

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T12:50:00

I hesitated about making more levels. Level 5 was made an hour or so before the end of the 48 hours, and 7 or 8 out of 10 people who tested it found it difficult enough with the first four. I just wanted some extra challenge for the rest, but didn't want to make a game so long players won't see its end, hence the five levels.
Thanks for the feedback everyone :)

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T13:17:00

INDEED IT IS DEAR ROBOT

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-29T20:40:00

Updated, thanks Tegu for noticing. I've just started learning Lua and didn't know newFont had this effect. Now I do :P That was the purpose of taking part : learning, and that worked :) Thanks again everyone !

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-31T21:53:00

Actually I had it tested by ten people before posting it :P And globally they made it through pretty easily, even if level 2 definitely is hard. Once you get used to the controls, it's the easiest level.
But you have to be patient enough to get used to it, and I can understand not everyone wants to try for dozens of minutes before succeeding XD

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-09-03T00:42:00

I can't help if I just love tower defense ! :D

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-09-09T15:38:00

wilbefast > Nope, just crappy file manager, I should change that. As for inertia, well... Maybe next time, I wasn't familiar enough with Lua to get it to work properly :)

Jupiter > Thanks for your review and keep up the great work on the videos !

Frozen Fractal > A lot of people get stuck here, maybe I should have changed the order of the levels indeed...

PaperBlurt > Be sure that's the very best I can do, it's already more than awesome compared to what I used to do XD Thanks for checking it ! :)

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-09-09T21:40:00

Yup, the up button pretty much does everything. It's written in the main screen, but I should have made something more usual and user friendly, like Enter or Spacebar.
Thanks for your feedback :)

ShitStorm by BubbleTea 2013-08-29T20:15:00

I don't know what the worst thing is : the awful noise, the brown poop thingies, or the fact that the game is actually interesting, enjoyable and challenging XD
Good job here !

Back for Seconds by RobotParking 2013-08-27T13:10:00

That...was... WEIRD. Yet awesome. Yet weird. Yet awesome.

10 seconds til Midnight by nolann 2013-08-27T03:53:00

The music is great ! Too bad Matthew doesn't have a moving animation, this would have made him much more lively. I would have enjoyed at least a few more enemies, and the red font kind of constrats with the dark mood.

Pretty damn good for a first game though !

Bit-ship Ld27 By lcass by lcass 2013-08-29T00:10:00

Really awesome. I mean it. Probably needs a little more in-game explanation, and I've got the feeling that power sometimes just disappears when weapons are destroyed.
But it's freakin' awesome all the way. Congrats. 2 days just to do this ? Man, a lot of people must feel bad now XD

Lamesoak by Tegu 2013-08-27T10:54:00

Too bad it's a little simple, but the idea is great. A little polish, animations, and blips and blops could make it pretty neat.
Good job ! :)

Space Hunt by korfi 2013-08-27T13:17:00

Pretty neat and stuff, but I don't think enemies should be able to pop right at the bottom of the screen... Makes it kind of random.
Good otherwise :D

10 seconds to LAUNCH!! by senseidav 2013-08-27T13:22:00

Simple yet cool ! The little sound is very effective, even though I bet you must have felt pretty dumb recording it :P

Notes on departure by kristoffer zetterberg 2013-08-27T13:13:00

Ooooooh. Nice and beautiful, well done.

Brainwash by ShitAndSon 2013-08-27T12:42:00

Amongst the 2200 games submitted, I recognized yours just by the picture. Your acid trip game is just THAT awesome. And in case you're wondering, your random mouse noise fit perfectly. Nice job, both of you, for your first game :)

From the crazy-explosion-lover-dude !

Proletarian Ninja X by deepnight 2013-09-11T02:17:00

Just... Wow. Excellent.

Color Shift by Sandcrawler 2013-09-02T23:48:00

Could be fun, if it was actually playable. You might want to check your collision system, like, really, because it gets slow very fast and unfortunately unplayable.

Astronomical Odds by Toby Pinder 2013-08-29T00:17:00

A little too floaty for me, but great game otherwise, very enjoyable.

KunoNoOni's Magical Star Saga by KunoNoOni 2013-08-27T04:46:00

Hard indeed, but very fun. Excellent.
A little comment though. The hitbox for the stars you've got to pick up is a little tricky, and the star had fun just hovering above my head, leading me to become a bloody mess just a second later before I could realize I didn't pick it up :P
Fun and stuff for sure !

Pinokio and Juliet 2113 by kibertoad 2013-09-02T22:48:00

Loved the idea, really. The voice-over was a little too monotonous and lacked a little intensity, but it's really not that bad. A little too many options during the fights though, so I just sometimes randomly used them. Maybe pausing the game between phases to make you see how many damages you inflicted would have been nice.
I only tested the jam version though, so maybe you upgraded it in the post-jam :P

LifeSpan by debarraGaming 2013-09-02T22:57:00

Yup, a little too easy, and a game getting boring is never a good thing. The second sound after you get a light is kind of superfluous, and even gets to be a mood-breaker after some time, too bad.
Still, solid little game. A simple randomized number of water falling per second, instead of a constant, in function of time, would have been perfect for increasing the difficulty. Like a quadratic polynomial or something.
Nice !

10 Seconds to Live by Darthone 2013-08-27T04:28:00

This is great !


...
Okay, maybe a little more details :P
The game is very challenging, but in a good way. It can be a little unfair, mainly when changing rooms. Loved the different weapons, even if the sword is SO DAMN SLOW I COULD BREW MY OWN COFFEE BEFORE BEING DONE HITTING SOMETHING.( Yeah, I'm a fast brewer. ) Lacks a little audio, but otherwise excellent.
Good job !

Zzzecret Agent by BlennosoftGames 2013-08-27T09:03:00

Animations wouldn't hurt, and the game seems a little too difficult, but great job otherwise :)

Aliens and such by Waynetron 2013-08-29T13:27:00

Sweet, sweet little game ! A game over screen would have been nice.

Programming Failure by Niavlys 2013-08-27T12:53:00

Yup, it's less buggy than the previous versions, and you've done quite a great job on the graphics. Plus, this Great Thunder thingy makes me really curious :P
I think I've seen this countdown somewhere before though... :P

Electric Sport Battle by link2x101 2013-09-03T00:02:00

Bro, do you even gravity ?
Very fun, addictive, catchy. But I wonder if I can actually die. Or fall. I just seemed to fly in the end, and collision appear to be a little broken
Awesome entry overall anyway. Like really. Freaking great.
