Until Death is a short and addictive rush game, stop the super evil villain from destorying the universe by deactivating his many many....many bombs!
You pilot a ship with WASD and space to boost, around a maze which evolves around you. The challenge is to survive the ten second timer by deactivating the bombs.
Ben West helped me out with audio and game design which im very thankful for! I think it links with the rage you will experience whilst attempting to gain a highscore!
Everything else was done by me ^_^
Enjoy, let me know what you think / suggestions =]
(Just uplaoded a webplayer version with a fixed score timer)

Nice work on the graphics!
Gameplayis a bit confusing though. What's supposed to happen?
hey matthias, at the moment the idea is that you have 10 seconds until you explode and you must stop the bombs =]
With a simple "how long can you last" later in dev i aim to have mission objectives and such but for the jam i was just focussing on the ten second counter mechanic! =] Glad you liked the graphics dude!
wow Kristinn i just got 2.30, i relaly need a HS table but i have no idea how to implement one ;) TO GOOGLE! although i can add one now, i will do after judging ^_^
cheers for the comments guys, and hmm, I havent encountered that bug unfortuantely =[
Also i added the timer/score just under the core 10 second countdown so people could post their scores, i mentioned in a comment on here that im not familiar with sql and databases over the net for highscore tables but id be very interested in talking to someone who is familiar, as it is the current plan to get global highscores working
i noticed one fo the jammers had that setup in like 3 hours with gameplay!
Overall I really liked the game. The controls were fluid, the art looked pretty good, though it was very busy which made it hard to spot key things out at times. It would have been nice to be able to see the whole grid at once, which would have made the random aspect less punishing.
The music got pretty repetitive after a while too, having it less busy or have more variation so it doesn't sound like the same 12 seconds endlessly would help.
Some suggestions : - The audio track is really repetitive (not in a good way) and tend to be annoying. If you choose to put a music as background, it have to be longer.
- I think you could have used a different mesh for the "stuff" you have to pickup (what's it supposed to be ?). As a player you don't really know if you are supposed to pick it up or if it's a bomb or something else.
thanks for the feedback guys i also had the same comments from people playtesting it at home during the dev! about the play area being readable and wtf is the bomb! It was made in the last 20minutes of the jam, it was meant to be a bomb anyway :P deffinately all needs some tlc =]
Wow, graphics is really good! Very rare to see 3d games with good texturing and modelling for LD, because they are pretty hard to do! Mad props to that! I'm also digging the music!
The controls are smooth. But I feel like the ship is suppose to crash to walls though, but then again there's hardly any room to maneuver :P
Nice little game, few things: Good: Overall nice execution, good controls. Bad: Heavy usage of same tiled textures make hard to see anything. Limited camera view doesn't help as well. The orange thingy which you need to catch could be more noticeable.
Simple fun game, with nice graphics and sounds! I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 video compilation, if you'd like to check it out :), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GZNeIKxvyg
