I completed my first Ludum Dare! Hurray!

10 Seconds in Hell is an old-school Adventure style exploration game in which the protagonist travels to Hell to search for the heart of his departed dearest one. Even the purest of souls do not last long in Hell, however... perhaps not even 10 seconds!

This game has some randomly generated elements to it elements to it to ensure that the experience is varied and different each time you play. Death is permanent, however, so do your best to avoid each of the seven deadly sins, as you will only have one shot at each of the loaded world configurations once!

If you've already beaten the game, you can try to improve on your performance and get a better score, or even aim to unlock the deepest, darkest secrets of hell by discovering the game's secret second ending...

Whatever you do, have fun, and good luck! You'll need it if you want to last more than 10 seconds in Hell.

!Important! EDIT 8/26/2013:

Small edit to fix game-breaking bug. If you already downloaded this game and want to play it again, please, download this version instead! Its a good thing I caught it so quickly; only a few people have played it so far. :)

These are listed at the end of the intro at the beginning. In case you forget though, the are:

ARROW KEYS: move around/push blocks/open doors/open chests

Z KEY: light a torch/begin playing

X KEY: pick up/put down an item

C KEY: take out a key

BACKSPACE: restart game/skip intro.

SPACE: pause/unpause the game.

Hope that helps! Have fun, and be prepared to lose... a lot! :)

EDIT: 8/29/2013

For those who enjoyed the game itself, I have continue to work on it and improve it over the last few days, and will be coming out with an updated version with some more features and less bugs than the competition version. You can download it on my website here: http://tylorlilley.com/

But PLEASE only play it AFTER you've played AND rated the competition version. It would be unfair to have your criticisms skewed by a better version, and I have no interest in cheating! Haha.
