The Duellists
This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive

A tale of two Generals, their ten trusty seconds and a whole lot of duels to the death.
Controlled entirely with the mouse and the left mouse button. Click to start, hold your cursor still until the bell, touch the flashing cursor to load and left-click to fire.
The Web version is missing the persistent graveyard from the Windows version, but is otherwise identical. Audio does not seem to work in vanilla Firefox, you'll need a browser with WebAudio support (some beta versions of FF or any recent version of Chrome will do) or try the native Windows download instead.

UPDATE (28/08): Due to the positive response the game has been getting (thanks so much), I'll be continuing active development and have plans to expand the game considerably over the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I should have the first of a few updates live over the next few days, with the first of the planned features that didn't make the cut (which should help the difficulty level make a little more sense). The original competition version will remain as is, but I'll provide extra links to the new version when it becomes available. I'll keep you posted.
