"10 Seconds in 10 Seconds" is a game where you have 10 seconds to fight or defend yourself.
Every 10 seconds, you switch from offense to defense and vise-versa.
In defense mode, invoke the shield with space as much as possible to get ammo. Once in offense mode, fire at your opponent.
There are 10 spirits hovering around you. They will "second" you if you collect a relic. However, relics make you lose a little health. The spirits aren't too fond of you taking health. If all 10 spirits second you, your offense or defense gets enhanced.
Numbers on the sides are the ammo. They decrease during offense mode (red) and increase in defense mode (green). So while, in defense mode, invoking the shield as much as possible will give you more ammo to use in offense mode.
Please forgive the crappy AI and lack of sounds. Ran short of time.
=Controls= ==========
- Arrows Key or WASD navigates - Space fires laser or shield - Enter starts the game - Escape quits
There are Xbox controls too:
- Up and down on the left stick thrusts - Left and right on the right stick turns - RB (right shoulder button) fires laser or shield - Start button starts the game - Back button quits
=Updates & Notes= =================
Note: Linux version is not tested. If any Linux user finds a problem, feel free to notify me in the comments below.
Note 2: Due to button mapping on the Mac, the controller will not work the way you expect on Mac. Use the keyboard.
Update: Forgot to provide source.
Update 2: Linux version is now a .tar.gz download and provides both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.
It's a good idea, but it seems like mashing buttons on the defensive is the best possible strategy because your opponent can't move and fire very well.
Cool idea :) Took me a little while to adapt to the control scheme (was expecting the world to revolve around me rather than the other way around, haha), and I had some issues with 'overshoot' if that makes sense. Loved the concept though, great work!
Great concept and it's mostly there. I found that there was a lot of ammo starvation though. The AI is also a bit cheaty: when he's targetting you he's got no turning delay, yet your own slow steering speed is one of the chief elements of the game. Still, I enjoyed it.
I understand the controls because there is no mouse in this game so this wasn't an issue, the only issue was that there was very little movement from my enemy so I was tempted to just keep mashing space (only had to take aim twice or so), so it was a bit on the easy side :P Make the enemy move constantly when he is in shield mode and you can make it a lot more exciting I think.
Cool concept! I bet you could develop it a bit more, like maybe having some other factor determine how long your shield lasts in defense mode, aside from how fast you can press space. Like everyone else says, this would be perfect for local multiplayer. Nice job!
This idea is something that would be absolutely amazing for splitscreen or local multiplayer. After playing it for a little while, my only real complaint was the controls.
The concept is pretty interesting and as mentioned before, it could do well as a multiplayer game. However, the combination of slow turning and fast acceleration makes it pretty hard to steer. It might be enough to increase the turn speed, but it could become a pretty different game then as well I guess. Nice work, it has potential should you decide to continue working on it!
I dig the idea. If this were a 4 player split screen game on the ouya or something it would probably do pretty well :D AI kept backing in to a corner when it was its turn to defend lol CRAFTY ROBUTTS
The controls are a bit wonky, but the game is pretty interesting and fun. I enjoyed it. I featured it in a compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVjNz61S5Vg
@Jupiter_Hadley: Thanks for featuring my work in that video! Controls I will tweak in a future version of the game, and I'll explain in the game how ammo works.

@OldPeculier: The cheaty AI was due to the fact I started AI late. Unity's Transform.LookAt() was the fastest thing I could do at that point.
@SpiralCodeStudio: That's because you have to gain back ammo by invoking your shield as much as possible in defense mode (when you're green).
Nice work, it has potential should you decide to continue working on it!
But the offense/defense concept was interesting. :)
