Ten Seconds to Death is a top-down fighting game with a twist. Each player controls one of three characters. Each has their own super-move, which is always activated after a ten second cooldown. Strategy and timing is key in this fast-paced arena brawl. Definitely Made for two players.

Controls:
Player 1: up, down, left, right to move, click to attack, right click to dodge.
Player 2: w,s,a,d to move, Left shift to dodge, Left control to attack.

Press Attack while doing your super move to initiate a combo.

Good feel. I couldn't figure out how to attack.

I loved how you used the theme. Too bad this is only for two players.

Hmmm, all I see is a "Source" link and it's not obvious if I can play it from the GitHub page... am I missing something? I'll check back later.

Graphics are awesome!
great game :)

Perhaps refreshing would help?
CLdogsauthor27 Aug 2013, 05:42
Sorry tamy it's made in c++ so a web option isn't viable. And Steve, I haven't seen that happen, I've tried on multiple computers and it seems to work fine.

Its funny, then the key of the game is ok. Concept art looks great, in-game graphics are cool either and the fight itself feels good. For the audio is exhausting after a while.
In general: Good work folks!

Thanks for the input, there are 3 tracks that play throughout the game, they start at random and switch after a match finishes.

Good art. Interesting interpretation of theme.

I played as the guy riding the ram, but he wasn't riding it in game! Bait and switch! Nice game though.

Seems like a game a friend and I could play for a while for simple fun, the overall style seemed to work together.

Impossible for me to launch the game because it miss the dll openal32.dll
Vasileiadis27 Aug 2013, 20:06
Can't play on Windows 7 (64 bit) - missing "openal32.dll" :(
I'll check later in case you made a gameplay video or fixed this error, the game looks very interesting - already voted up for the artwork ;)
CLdogsauthor27 Aug 2013, 20:33
I've updated it to include the missing .dll file. Thanks for letting me know.

Had fun, loved the Harold character. Bit hard to hit each other. Thumbs up for making it two player :)

Decent game, but since I don't have anyone to play it with I can't really enjoy it properly. If I was playing with someone else though, I think I'd probably enjoy it.
Vasileiadis27 Aug 2013, 23:22
Wow cheers for the updated dll!

Game looks awesome, I really liked the 10 seconds activation on the ultimate (and the sweet combos that follow :D )

Really looking forward to testing this with a friend.. you should totally make an online matchmaking pool - yeah sure servers cost money but oh well you know, life's like that some times ^_^

It's so rare to see fighting games in Ludum Dare. I like the concept and charachter design, but I need single player mode. Nice work overall :)

Did good job though!

2 player part is a bit unlucky, but overall fun game

It's a shame the ram rider doesn't keep his mount in the game! This was a cool little experience - I managed to snag a friend to test it with me and we both enjoyed it. Me especially, because I kicked his ass. :)

Very neat concept for the theme use. But the controls were not good. Menu was keyboard only, but then one player is kb/mouse and another is just kb. Felt very scattered.
CLdogsauthor30 Aug 2013, 04:37
Yeah, sorry about that. We found that if we used only the keyboard for input, not all of the key presses could be registered and you wouldn't be able to perform certain moves in some situations.
