LD27 — 10 Seconds

Soulbound by blopit 2013-08-26T23:59:00

A great concept for a puzzle game. Being tethered to an object. Interface (ui and keyboard) could use a little work and some areas could use better explanation. But I would actually want to see a larger game based on the same concept. Get to it! :D

tiny terrors by berkano 2013-08-29T23:16:00

Sound is great, much props for that.

Rescue Run by Beanalby 2013-08-28T00:29:00

Great job! Loved the programming and linux references.

Amulet in Ten by mtrc 2013-08-27T01:05:00

A very well done puzzle game. Teaches mechanics well and is designed to have pretty varied and sometimes complicated puzzles. Bravo!

Platformer Roulette by Phobos001 2013-08-27T00:29:00

Hahaha, I wasn't sure what was going on. Just a neat little platformer, good graphics and control etc etc and then I heard the click and bang I was dead. Took me completely by surprise.

Captain Pico and Ensign DeGaro in Ten Second Time Bomb by dalbinblue 2013-08-27T00:58:00

Game crashes after into sequence. Nice graphics though.

10 Second Defender by boddiul 2013-08-26T23:56:00

Loved it! That impact sound is great and its a good simple concept. The buying mechanic is great but I didn't see a giant difference between the two machine guns.

10 Second Tower Defense - DEFEND THE TESSERACT! by Sean Colombo 2013-08-26T23:20:00

I like TD games and this one is no exception. I wish I could have more things to do but time restrictions do apply here.

Wormholes by themushroomsound 2013-08-27T00:04:00

Cool idea for the mic capturing to generate levels.

Hoard Frenzy by ryan0788 2013-08-27T00:56:00

This is a pretty clever take on the PvZ/Tower defence genre.

10 Floors by Anshul Goyal 2013-08-26T23:41:00

Great job man! The level design is great and the enemies made me panic like no other. A few critiques. You can't complete it without sprinting, so it was always on for me and I wonder why have it. And I wish I could slide along the sides. But otherwise good job!

Bomb Squad by Levi D. Smith 2013-08-28T00:03:00

I wish I could rotate the camera so much! Great concept but could use more of a puzzle mechanic, where you need to figure out where to disarm and at what time.

Sands of Chime - Troll Games by hemlocksoames 2013-08-28T00:13:00

Very nice graphics, the magic attack never worked on my keyboard (/) is not a button here.

Greed Run by Elrobo 2013-08-29T23:18:00

Hahaha this is brilliant, sound is great and the graphics are awesome!

Ten Second Defense by Super Hamster 2013-08-28T00:15:00

Not sure where the 10 seconds come it. The colors are very off putting but the general mechanics work pretty fine.

PYRAM1D by CogentInvalid 2013-08-27T00:27:00

Game crashes after tutorial. Good concept though. Allows for a lot of modularity. The music and graphics invoke the nes geek in me <3

Run Buddy by PizzaPranks 2013-08-29T23:24:00

Collision detection is terrible, would always hit the spike, even though I wasn't even close to it, and the reset could be a lot quicker, but otherwise its good.

Ten Seconds by Adjotur 2013-08-27T00:40:00

Great angle on the theme. Game could have been more polished.

GIMP the Tapedeck-Operated Robot by Zuige 2013-08-27T15:49:00

Good idea, controls could use some work, for example pressing a button again = pressing stop.

10 Seconds of Love and Anger by kcpunk666 2013-08-26T23:28:00

Web link is 404'd

Meat Game by Boneloaf 2013-08-28T00:20:00

Took a long time to load and wasn't pretty sure what to do. If I want to get to the bottom or to just survive.

Explosive Space Shuffleboard, A Cautionary Tale of Militant Bueracracy by Ian Small 2013-08-27T23:57:00

Looks pretty nice but not much happens when I put the things into the air

Amoeba Sheba by DissidentDan 2013-08-28T00:00:00

This is a pretty neat concept of matching two colors and the effects are very good!

Avalanche by Draktharr 2013-08-27T00:46:00

More Music! Hehe made me laugh. I actually went into this with not high expectations but it's a pretty nice game. The 10 second aspect you have has that "1 more turn" feel to it.

Caves of Caladria by Joxno 2013-08-28T00:24:00

Crashes.

Prelude of the Vorpal Blade by oxysoft 2013-08-27T00:51:00

Like the art style, a lot more can be done with this!

Erfingi by olafurw 2013-08-26T15:04:00

No win objective, just to try to get as far as you can and try to select optimal heirs. Thanks! :)

Doom Hex: Escape by Omnus 2013-08-27T00:34:00

Took a bit to figure out what was going on. But I love these type of games.

PILLOWMAN Defeats the Robots by Spencer Alves 2013-08-28T00:09:00

It lags a bit after a while. Movement is ok but the shooting is odd.

Pixel Invasion by Jamsterx1 2013-08-26T23:32:00

Sometimes weapons would spawn out of reach and I had usually no worries for health. But good on you anyway!

Lost in the Dark by KristinnEs 2013-08-26T02:32:00

Nice one man!

You have ten seconds to escape... by SbstnC 2013-08-28T00:23:00

wow this is crazy, it has a very very small room for error. nice work though on your first game!

Muovt!!! by superfrog 2013-08-27T00:06:00

How do I jump? Pressed I think all the buttons on my keyboard and mouse.

Particle Fighter by Tym0r 2013-08-28T00:32:00

Visuals are great but controlling the ship is way too twitchy. Usually just ends bouncing around the screen and then dies.

Cave Astronaut - First LD! by Slader16 2013-08-26T23:43:00

Keep at it!

DynamiTEN by pedroka 2013-08-27T00:20:00

Great work guys! Loved the design and concept. It got pretty intense pretty fast. The jump is pretty high and at one point my pickaxe sound stopped, but otherwise good.

Cosmic Commander by UnorthodoxGames 2013-08-28T00:07:00

Not exactly my game type, but I get the appeal and it's well impliemented. Specially for LD.

Twitchy Thrones by rpmoura 2013-08-26T23:35:00

A bit confusing, not my style. Cheers! :)

10 SECONDS by Dark Acre Jack 2013-08-26T23:47:00

Very concept heavy, good idea.

Time Blocks by scottwashi 2013-08-27T01:07:00

Pretty neat concept but could use a few more introductory levels or stages to teach the mechanic and ease the player into the game.

laGrengine by fdevant 2013-08-27T00:10:00

Very very tricky to control and hit the smaller objects. But after a few hits it became easier. As someone said here, it reminds me of Osmos as well, but a quicker version of it.

The Thief by N0_Named_Guy 2013-08-27T16:45:00

Nice mechanics, couldn't always see when the guard could see me or when i would have been safe. Nice work though.

Korrod by eelfroth 2013-08-27T00:15:00

wow, the art style is fantastic, and the audio work is top notch!

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Acalisien by olafurw 2017-12-04T15:31:35Z

Thanks for the kind words George. Yea that was basically the thing. Running out of time and trying to make the best of what I had. I had more story elements that kinda showed how it tied to the theme more. But at a point you just gotta pack up what you have and ship :)

Thank you again sir!
