Seamless by evilentity 2013-09-16T20:55:00

Good game, although a bit short. The first screen was really confusing, I was trying to move my (nonexistent) character, and then the game exited by itself after 10 seconds.

EscapeRush! by SneakySnake 2013-09-16T20:49:00

Nice game, but as others already said, trying to increase the frustration isn't a good idea.

Nuclear Adventure by ps 2013-09-16T20:35:00

Not bad for a first game

A Timely Dimension of Space by crezefire 2013-09-16T19:50:00

Interesting idea, unfortunately the resulting game is a bit boring.

Shark Spawn by thegrimace 2013-09-16T19:39:00

Nice game, it took me some time to understand what the colors mean, but I enjoyed it.

Big Sad by Daniel Debert 2013-09-16T19:25:00

Very clever idea the "try with no money" thing :-)
There are a few annoying moments where you jump but you do not see where you are going to land, but it's still a good game!

SF-1 by frogmaster 2013-09-16T19:07:00

I like the idea of having to count to ten, but the inertia makes the game very difficult, I didn't pass level 1.

Korrod by Eelfroth 2013-09-16T18:55:00

Doesn’t work here (ArchLinux, 64 bits). The sound works but the graphics are all broken, all I can see is a trail of triangles going to the upper right corner.

Here is my version of Java:
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_40"

And here is the error message on the command line:
$ sh "Korrod (64 bit)"

WorkItUp by RawBits 2013-09-16T18:47:00

Time is actually not a concern, as others have noticed, you can just press Down for a long time. The general idea is interesting but would maybe require some more thought, the main concern right now is to manage to *avoid* gaining seconds, because it moves your character down.

10 Second Waves by Erigitic 2013-09-06T08:30:00

It's a good start! It's a shame that we can't move or shoot diagonally and more stuff would deserve to be added to the game, but for one of your first games, that's not bad.

Life of a Photon by netguy204 2013-09-05T16:08:00

Very nice game, and the music is awesome.

Treasures of the Decimaze by phaed 2013-09-05T15:54:00

Interesting idea, but it was a bit boring to wait until a particular maze arrives and also a bit frustrating not to be able to see the whole maze.

10 Seconds to Save the World by HacksawUnit 2013-09-05T15:42:00

Pretty good game. The sounds are quite painful to hear, but I guess that's intended. Also I don't understand why you can't fix the bug, you can create a Dropbox account and upload it here, you will have complete control of the HTML around it.

laGrengine by fdevant 2013-09-05T00:07:00

It doesn't work on Linux 64 bits, it's looking for the file lib/gluegen-rt-natives-linux-amd64.jar whereas you only bundled lib/gluegen-rt-natives-linux-i586.jar.

Sky Trader by dekart 2013-09-04T23:58:00

Very good graphics and very good game!

SWEAT by reheated 2013-09-04T23:47:00

Quite hard, but very nice. At some point the music just stopped without starting again, is that expected?

Terminal 10 by alts 2013-09-04T23:35:00

Very fun and yay for DDR! :-)

Programming Failure by Niavlys 2013-09-04T23:29:00

I like the graphics, but the collisions are indeed very slightly glitchy :-) Too bad it took you so long to try to fix the collisions.

100-Dash Dreams by frogcheese 2013-09-04T23:23:00

Not very original but quite fun.

CatWalk: Final battle by Pixelfan Games 2013-09-04T23:17:00

Very good but a bit too short.

Triad by BlackBulletIV 2013-09-04T22:45:00

This game looks very interesting but with only a touchpad I don't think I can rate it fairly. The music is quite good, how did you make it?

Dan Dynamite by loxo 2013-08-31T18:00:00

A good start, but indeed, it doesn't seem really finished.

10 Second Hero by Diogo Muller 2013-08-31T17:50:00

Does not work on Linux here, it gives something like:
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for OpenTK.Graphics.GraphicsContext ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for OpenTK.Platform.Factory ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for OpenTK.Configuration ---> System.DllNotFoundException: libc

Flash of Light by apaneske 2013-08-31T17:47:00

Nice game, a bit too simplistic and the fact that the battery does not reset at each level makes it hard to use.

GIMP the Tapedeck-Operated Robot by Zuige 2013-08-31T17:41:00

Nice game, but the controls are very awkward.

Raging Clue by aayars 2013-08-31T17:25:00

I get a 404 for the Linux link.

Time Ball! by mort96 2013-08-31T17:24:00

It takes too long to jump, so often it doesn't jump even though I pressed W before the red part.

Boyfriend Simulator: Feed My Boyfriend by leafo 2013-08-31T17:18:00

Weird game, but well done.

Grind by headchant 2013-08-31T17:09:00

The map is too large, we cannot see where we are supposed to go, and 10 seconds is not enough.
But the rest of the game is good.

Ten Seconds Of The Life Of One God by Xotraz 2013-08-31T16:52:00

Sounds fun but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

10 seconds of hell! by djdduty 2013-08-31T16:43:00

Very strange game, but not so bad :-)

10 Seconds of Gas by tordre 2013-08-31T16:36:00

The "10 seconds of gas" thing is basically useless given how easy it is to find more gas, the real problem is in dodging asteroids.
Also the game lacks features, but the existing features are well done.

Space Rift by GFM 2013-08-31T16:28:00

Graphics and sounds are very good, but it's a bit too hard for me.

BOOOOOOOOOOM by Meedoc 2013-08-31T16:11:00

Game does not load either (I'm on Linux as well).

Deja Vu by d__adee 2013-08-31T16:02:00

Very nice game, I liked it!

Parachute Rush by XXMarekXX 2013-08-31T15:49:00

You should explain the controls, it took me a long time to understand that it seems to have something to do with the mouse, and even now I don't understand how I'm supposed to control it with the mouse.

Sky Turkeys Extreme by supermaximo93 2013-08-31T15:44:00

Good idea, but that's a bit too chaotic to be really enjoyable.

Spark by fullmontis 2013-08-31T15:35:00

I very often get the following error message when going from one level to the next one:

An error has occured that has caused Spark to stop.
You can notify Andrea Montagna about this at http://fullmontis.tumblr.com

Robby by Morusque 2013-08-31T15:29:00

I haven't found out how to win yet, but it's a very fun game. The ASCII art graphics are very good.

Decem Libros by Hitonagashi 2013-08-31T15:03:00

Controls are very hard, there should be keyboard shortcuts for everything. Also there is rarely any feedback for actions. For instance sometimes I try to shoot a fireball, but I don't know if it worked but the enemies are too powerful, or if I didn't have enough mana, or if I didn't click hard enough on my mouse button.
The general idea of the game seems good, though.

Labyten by rejome 2013-08-31T14:51:00

Good game! It's a bit frustrating when you lose, because you have to start over at the beginning, but I guess that's what was intended.

Nonzero by koller-digital 2013-08-29T23:03:00

Interesting game even if it's a bit hard to understand the rules. I managed to reach level 10 but then it was becoming too hard.

Naskea by Ninquo 2013-08-29T22:38:00

That's soooo hard! (especially without a touchpad)
But I finally did it (in 9.52 seconds).
Really good game :-)

Microbes by keyboardmonkey 2013-08-29T22:06:00

Good game!

DungeonRaider by Dioiminik 2013-08-29T21:33:00

Very nice! Especially for a game made in 15 hours

Tenth Second by RandomM00 2013-08-28T23:07:00

I can't figure out how to progress, but maybe that's because I'm tired. Interesting idea though.

10 Seconds of Thrust by Kramin42 2013-08-28T22:53:00

That's quite hard but very interesting (I haven't finished it, but I will try again)

Swipe The Roast by cobrajs 2013-08-28T22:47:00

That's very difficult, the cart can get stuck very easily. But the idea is original.

Ten 10-Second Seconds by Chrixeleon 2013-08-28T22:38:00

That's a very simplistic game, but I actually really enjoyed it :-)

Small fish by Diamonde 2013-08-28T22:33:00

Could you make a Linux version? I heard that it's easy for Unity games.

Hot Potato by Tater_hater 2013-08-28T22:29:00

I found this game a bit boring, especially given that you get the same minigames over and over again.

Time Wizard by zzForrest 2013-08-28T00:24:00

Good game! I liked the fact that there are many levels.

Alien Attack by KayZ 2013-08-27T15:58:00

Not bad but very slow. And why is my ship oscillating randomly around my mouse?

Time Syndrome by autlos 2013-08-27T15:52:00

Difficulty is a bit strange, it's quite hard to get to the gun, but then it's very easy.
Also for the compo you're supposed to do the music yourself.

Ten Sextillion Zeptoseconds by Oxydam 2013-08-27T15:42:00

I have the same problem as xhunterko, I can't even pass level 1 because the square is stuck all the time.
It seems that you're doing the following: if the next move makes me hit a wall, then do not move at all. But it means that on a slow computer we can get stuck much more easily because the square will stop well before the wall.
Please fix, I want to play it.

Vacuous by Rhinoceros 2013-08-27T13:47:00

Nice game! (and it works well with an Xbox 360 gamepad (on Linux))

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

This is way too slow, I can't play it :-(

Seconds by kevinAlbs 2013-08-27T13:10:00

Pretty good, but way too repetitive. Having 100 almost identical levels is too much.

Navigator by osthekake 2013-08-27T12:57:00

Very good, I like it!

mircale_ten_second by xerysherry 2013-08-27T09:58:00

Maybe I missed something but I don't see the point of opponents, they can't take you the ball and they do not prevent you from shooting. For every level, you can just move to the basket and shoot.

Test Subject 13B by maxking1234 2013-08-27T09:36:00

Nice addictive game, a little hard at the beginning and a little easy in the end. I managed to get the golden shield and the golden sword at which point it's easy to kill all monsters everytime.

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T09:18:00

Hey, could you put the .love in the source files? I'm on Linux and the version in the GitHub repo does not work (it's looking for the file "ld27/init.lua" instead of "init.lua")

GitGirl - Conflict Resolver by ddionisio 2013-08-27T00:24:00

The Linux build seems to work but (at least on my computer) it's so slow that it's unplayable (about 1 or 2 fps, even on the title page).

Extreme Trauma Surgeon by Blooperly 2013-08-26T23:50:00

The timer is a bit useless and it's a shame that there are only two mini-games.

10 Floors by Anshul Goyal 2013-08-26T23:40:00

The Linux binary doesn't work, it seems that you forgot to include the data folder:

Set current directory to /home/fractal/LD27/ld27
Found path: /home/fractal/LD27/ld27/10floors.x86
There is no data folder

Avalanche by Draktharr 2013-08-26T22:17:00

That's very good, you should definitely keep making games :-)

Back for Seconds by RobotParking 2013-08-26T22:10:00

I have no idea what's going on with this game.

Ten 2nd's by Nights57 2013-08-26T22:06:00

Very fun!
The Linux version doesn't work on ArchLinux (because of a version mismatch in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0) but the web version does. Also you need to include the source.

40 in 10 by djbriandamage 2013-08-26T21:50:00

That's fun, but not really a game.

Rainy Rainbow by SasoriDama 2013-08-26T21:45:00

I can't play it (on ArchLinux), I get the error:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path
[...]

(and lwjgl is installed)

squaredare by Inertia 2013-08-26T21:38:00

You should definitely include the .love file in the source, I only have a Linux computer and I usually skip immediately games with only a Windows and Source link. It's good that this time I read the description before and noticed that I would be able to play it.

It goes a bit too fast but the game is really addictive.

Burrito Blaze by Skye 2013-08-26T20:53:00

Very addictive game, I liked it!
But I find that the acid mode (after 60 seconds) rely too much on luck, often there are so many green burritos that you can't possibly go through. Also the hit box is too large, you can take burritos without touching them.

On Linux I had a few problems to make it work. First the .sh failed with the error:
> Error: Unable to access jarfile /home/fractal/LD27/Burrito Blaze.sh
> : numeric argument requiredxit: 0

So I tried `java -jar "Burrito Blaze.sh"', and it worked, except that I got a NumberFormatException which was due to the fact that I use a locale using , as a decimal separator.

In the end, I had to run the command `LC_ALL=C java -jar "Burrito Blaze.sh"'

A Day In A Life by EvilObjective 2013-08-26T20:33:00

That was fun :-)

ShuffleLand by rincewind_cz 2013-08-26T20:23:00

Nice game, but I find it too difficult. Graphics and music are really good.

10 Seconds Flat by IndigoWolf 2013-08-26T18:50:00

I have between 2 and 3 fps, so it's not easy to play (by the way, it works on Linux)

10 Seconds of Plagues by carlsommer 2013-08-26T18:45:00

Nice game, but it would be even better with some music.

10 seconds of hope by tobbez 2013-08-26T18:24:00

It does compile on Linux, but when I press space at the first screen, it freezes and I can't do anything else.
My computer is not very fast, so if your game is CPU intensive maybe it's just too slow here.

Debug by InfN555 2013-08-26T18:15:00

It doesn't load for me :-(

Notes of a melody by Zerkruemler 2013-08-26T17:56:00

Very cool game :-)

Fly: Generations by Conry 2013-08-26T17:35:00

Not easy but very fun!

Fastboy by Misfit 2013-08-26T17:23:00

I didn't managed to play it. I downloaded Vice (2.4) then ran `xvic vic20_fastboy_ld27.zip' (I'm using ArchLinux, in case it matters).
I can see the first screen and hear the music. When I press space, the text "loading" is displayed, and then is replaced by "press fire" after a few seconds, but then nothing happens if I press space again (or any other key).

The 10 (other) Seconds Journey by PaperBlurt 2013-08-26T17:14:00

That's, hum, odd. And a bit boring, to be frank. You should at least add some music to it.

SuperSleepTime by sjk 2013-08-26T17:09:00

On ArchLinux, I get the following error:

Not sure whether it's a bug or a problem with my computer.

Ten second(s) hand-swords by Gaspard_ 2013-08-26T17:07:00

That's so slow that I absolutely can't play it (using the .jar). I'm moving at 2 pixels per seconds.

10 seconds to live by lightsoda 2013-08-26T16:58:00

Not sure what the aim of the game is and I only found two endings. Could have been a great game, but a bit too empty for now.

The only one by JaJ 2013-08-26T16:35:00

Awesome game and awesome music, congrats!
The rains slows down the game a lot though (at least in the HTML5 version), which makes it quite painful to play, but the rest of the game is so good that I still played it until the end :-)

Ten Second Dungeon by Jimanzium 2013-08-26T15:59:00

Nice game! :)

It's a bit hard and too dependent on luck (if the first few rooms don't have anything in them, you're screwed), but fun.

Rocket Rampage by Reicher 2013-08-26T15:23:00

Works out of the box here (ArchLinux).
But it seems like my computer is too slow to run this game, I have something like 2 fps, so as soon as I press W everything changes and I don't understand what's going on anymore.

Defense of Your Craft by josefnpat 2013-08-26T14:21:00

A very interesting idea, but I found the controls very hard (I only tried with an Xbox gamepad and the touchpad, I don't have a mouse). In the end I was just randomly moving and placing things, hoping that it would be of any use.
I also only tried in single player.

Frantic by Joritan Cety 2013-08-26T13:58:00

That was fun! Sounds and music are very nice and the difficulty is good. As other said, I just found the hitbox quite buggy (bigger than the actual sprite).

Catabolism Runner by igleyy 2013-08-26T13:41:00

FYI: The Linux binary didn't work on my ArchLinux (version mismatch in libGLEW), but thanks to the source code I managed to compile it and play it.

The first two levels are a bit boring, the third one is easy, the fourth one is very difficult (but I managed to beat it \o/) and after that it seems to be impossible.
It's a shame that you have to start over at level 1 when you lose and adding some more gameplay elements would make it less repetitive.

But it's a good start anyway, keep making games :)

You have 10 seconds! by demiurgo 2013-08-26T12:42:00

Hello, could you give more instructions? I tried 10 times but still have absolutely no idea what I’m supposed to do. I don’t even know if I’m supposed to do something with the keyboard, or the mouse, or something else.

Also I’m on ArchLinux and the /usr/bin/python binary is actually Python 3, so your launch.sh script didn’t work for me. It would work better to change it to

> python2 main.py || python main.py
