Ludum Dare #27compo
10seconds
A meteor will strike your city in 10 seconds. What will you do with your remaining time on earth?
My first Ludum Dare entry-- a minimalist adventure game you can play several times to uncover the various outcomes.
Tips:
- There are three screens. Explore!
- You can't do everything in one run. Don't be afraid of death.
Known issues:
- alex's apartment (in the waterfront) occasionally doesn't spawn.
- full-screen doesn't work, so don't hit alt-enter
- tablet stylus/touch input is supported but is a little janky; use a mouse or trackpad if you can
- requires windows vista, 7, or 8
Written in C++, using DirectX11 for graphics and FMOD for sound.
v03: fixed a bug with alex's apartment sometimes not working if you talk to quinn first.
Update: Added a link to a post-compo version, with fixes for all the known bugs and a slightly better title.

Great use of the theme. Couldn't find achievement 2, or the last one though!

Sweet game!

My favorite interpretation of the theme so far. I got 8/10 achievements. (Missing #4 and #10.) Fancy giving hints?

I simply loved this game. It is definitely one of the better uses of the theme. Nice job!

frankbsad26 Aug 2013, 06:33
that was cool, could only get 7/10 achievements though.

7 out of 10 achievements. What are your secrets game?! =) Liked it, even if a little depressing ;P

Wow I really enjoyed that!
Great use of the theme, great music and I love the simple style.
The achievements were a nice touch and I managed to get them all :) Number eight was my favourite ;)

Nicely done. Very atmospheric.
(Aside: I noticed that you can get into Alex's apartment even if you can't see it, if you click over the sea--seems to be spawning there)

Loved the adventure behind it. I just wanted to go explore every option. The beats definitely set in the pressure of having to hurry up.

Very good game! I loved the achievements but I didn't get 8th and 10th :( Can you please tell me what I should have done for these? I really tried!
Great job!
Great job!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I didn't think people would like it as much as they seem to. :)
As for the achievements, since so many people are asking, I posted the list of their names as a hint:

This is a hilarious take on you have 10 seconds to live theme. Short, sweet, straightforward game. The game is really about getting all of the achievements. :)

I like this! Achievements always make me try to get them all! :P I got all but the last two, not sure how to get those...maybe show the name of the cheeve as a clue?

The achievements system is really well done!
I managed to complete the game with all endings.
At first I didn't realize there was more screens, then I read help page! :)
