First Ludum Dare, first game-like entry done with Coffee, lot of work and bugs discovered. Glad to participate.
The game is a little fps-platformer (mouse - right button+keyboard arrows or WSAD), which lets you 10s to reach the exit (cubish rotating grap) at each level.
No restart, frustrating, isn't it ?
There is nearly one tricky thing per level... Put your headphones please :) There are only 6 levels.
It restarts to the beginning when the time is over.
This was a nice little game. The controls are a bit weird. They're not very 'traditional'. Anyway, that aside, this game has some good looking and simple graphics. I had fun running through the levels.
The Good: The levels not auto-restarting makes the time limit relevant. The graphics look very stark and neat. The VO is entertaining.
The Bad: The levels not auto restarting is infuriating, to the point where I don't want to play it. Known collision glitches. What was wrong with standard fps controls?
I feel that your game would benefit greatly from a restart button. I kept losing and I had to open the game again from the zip file and it became quite tedious.
The game doesn't restart the level after I lost a level so I need to refresh the page all the time :/ Also the whole thing that a lot of stuff that you can't odd on just feels odd.. and there is way too long levels for a 10s game as I only beat the two first levels by luck.
Thanks! Note that white isn't collidable, you need to walk on red things (and black sometimes). Please report bugs, the only one I have here is moving the box at level 3 which is tricky. I guess its stressing, most levels are reacheable in 9/10s ;) Will try to release another version this week to fix things.
Todnut: its rare, nearly "pre-release" thing, should work nearly as good as Unity webplayer, but on Windows only for now.
..going back to play all those awesome games you know ;)
SpiralCodeStudio: will try to support Linux as soon as possible. Not Mac, I hate mac. link2x101: ok, didn't know WASD was a standard, I suck at gameplay, will had it in next version as well. Thanks! (I know why because I just played lot of game with only WASD on french keyboard.. LOL) Thanks Kunzbe, hopped to do an ambiant music as well, will add some in "out-of-compo" release.
New version is out: - fixed critical bugs - slowed timer a bit (maybe too easy now ?) - added WSAD :) - added collision on white blocks since it doesn't change anything on the game.
Final version here, I'll update it out of compo later on.
Really fun game. I liked how fast paced it was, but the physics were a little wonky on the 3rd level. Would have loved to see more, and maybe not go all the way to the start. Otherwise awesome though!
Cool game! I really like games that make me panic.
I like the idea of a verbal 10-second timer; I haven't seen (seen?) one of those yet.
The only issue is that, particularly for the completely black level (while I could vaguely tell the direction it was mostly trial and error for me), I wish I didn't have to restart the entire game.
Five, four, three, two, one, over... Very much fun, completed it and didn't go insane! :D Nice stylish graphics, but your backbuffer size doesn't match the size of redering window (it's a little smaller than whole window) on desktop version. Also, I got stuck and couldn't move in 2nd level.

The game has a nice atmosphere but is absurdly maddening due to the nonsensical controls.

Quick game!@
I love the audio of the guy saying 'you have 10 seconds to figure out'
Some levels were tricky, but I liked that each level had it's own gimmick.
I found this game very fun to play! (even if a bit frustrating at times)
