Last words is inspired by what would you tell your loved ones if you had 10 seconds left to live. Each key press (even the backspace) uses up the precious seconds, so think carefully what you write. There are various other events in the game that take 10 seconds if pay attention. There's an option to tweet your last words at the end if you choose (I'm very interested what people put in for their last words). Finally, there's a chance, you don't have to write your last words...

Hints for survival
If you want to see the survival event, do not ever try to send a text message or pick up the phone. The message I want to give: Don't Text and Skydive!!

*Note* I changed the Web link to be Gamejolt so you can quickly play, but the twitter button doesn't work. If you want to tweet out your last words, download the windows version.

*Note 2* The score table at the end is just a hint that some people lived and does not connect to any external datasource. It's a based on number of minutes since Ludum Dare started.

Love the idea. The interface is a bit clunky (having to switch to the mouse to send the message is annoying).

Nice twitter integration and "cinematics." Very interesting. I wish I knew how to save myself!

Its a cool idea, but I think there should be more too it than just typing a message before you die. The twitter thing was neat too. Good ideas.

I like how it uses the theme without actually imposing a time limit.

When I realized the instructor was still talking, I wrote "hang on busy". Then as I was falling, "hide my porn."

The score table implies that your game uses the network without asking first, so I'm not going to rate it.

Actually, the score table is fake. Just a random number based on days since Ludum Dare started. It's just there to give you a hint that some people lived.
