This entry is titled "10 Seconds of Gas". In this game you play as a spaceship, a purple spaceship. Controls are simple use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate around asteroids, but watch out you only have 10 seconds of gas left, find fuel cans to get more gas. Survive longer to collect a high score. Watch out the longer you survive the harder it gets.
Game produced in libGDX and eclipse, sprites hand crafted, sound effects generated with bsfx, music created in iNudge by myself, font converted with BMFont from http://www.fontspace.com/lcd-solid/lcd-solid. Android version is possible, but the controls would suck so no.
JAR file should work cross-platform, although only tested in OSX Lion and Windows 8. On Windows double click works to load the JAR. On OSX, run java -jar <filename>.
The asteroids are a bit hard to see since they are blended by the stars and the black background. Took me awhile to see how this game fits the theme: start with 10 seconds, get 10 seconds per item collected.
Good job on the background - simple trick of making some stars go faster than the others created a really nice, parallax-ish effect. Also, loved the simplicity of "you suck" :)
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.
Simple but fun :) It highlights how a simple sound effect can be used for good feedback (did I pick up that fuel?) Also the mild insults are pretty funny
Very simple but fun. There really is way too many fuel cans :P I featured it in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzQ8TXQohmI
