My game has three different game modes, each with their own version of the "Ten Seconds" theme.
Racing You race from one platform to another one. You've got ten seconds between each checkpoint, make it in time or die.
Assault In this mode you need to kill one enemy every ten seconds or you die. The goal is to kill all the enemies and then return to the platform. This mode is pretty hard as I didn't have any time left to tweak it.
Delivery Day Go get all the red packages and bring them back to your base, one by one. You have ten seconds to find a package, then you have 10 seconds to bring it back to the main platform.
There are 3 levels / game mode.
As I'm such a nice guy you have five extra lives in each mode. :D
Controls: Accelerate: Up Arrow, A, or Left Ctrl Steer: Right and Left Arrow Fire: Space, S, or Left Shift
Edit 1: I rewrote this description after I had got some sleep. :) Added web version. I also uploaded a new version where I fixed two bugs - The number of lives in the HUD didn't match reality. - It was impossible to complete a level in Assualt mode (the if-all-enemies-are-dead-line was missing).
Edit 2: Added Mac-version. I found a bug in the camera code when I tested the Mac version. The ship ended up outside the screen sometimes. :/ I updated the Windows-version with the same fix (changed two lines of code) just to make sure the game is playable, which I hope was an ok thing to do.
Edit 3: Added Linux-version. I haven't tested it myself but a friend tried it out and it worked for him at least. :)
The controls are very smooth and the checkpoint spacing makes it much easier to work with time wise. The gameplay itself is pretty simple and it ties in the theme pretty well, but the game seems very polished!
Fun mechanics and nicely polished overall! I would have liked the option to start from last checkpoint when you crash in racing mode. Other than that I really enjoyed it.
Excellent work! Good old-fashioned arcade action, well polished and balanced. Minor gripe: the black on black in the web version makes it harder to see walls coming from the sides.
Wow, very difficult, but not at all frustrating somehow! Saying that, I thought the time limits, while consistent with the theme, were slightly irritating. I really enjoyed this game, even though I wasn't very good at it :P a few graphical glitches, but i've heard this is down to unity rather than anything you've done, apart from that, the graphics are excellent, and I loved the audio too. Really nice work, especially for only 48 hours ;)
Wow this game is Hard! But awesome, an addicting combination that hooks you until you eventually ragequit ... And then come back only to sooner or later ragequit again ... I like it :D

10 seconds is hard, but not too hard. Nicely balanced overall, I think.
Love the physics-movement :)
@bvanschooten I added a border around the game on the web page, thank you for telling me. :)
Maybe the inertia is too exagerated. I mean, it's really hard to control the ship (that's fun btw).
Good game.
