Alright, i had A LOT to go through this weekend, but i couldn't miss a second Ludum Dare, so i HAD to do something and i did in a little bit over than 5 hours (yes, FIVE hours).
So, what did i manage to do in five hours? I wanted to do something that could merge the "You Only Get One" (chance) and the "10 seconds" of LD27.
You're in front of a bomb, you have 10 seconds (and you cannot afford any mistakes) to: - search for the code - open the lid, inputting the code - reach for the scissors - cut the right cable (the one NOT inside the bomb itself)
I've decided to not include source code for a simple reason: nobody could learn from it. It's a 5 hours project, a MESS, nothing else.
Anyways i wanted to get involved in 28, so, here you go.

Cool game. Whether you have enough time or not depends a bit on luck, but ah well, after a few rounds, I managed to consistently win. would probably be good as a hacking minigame within a larger game, like the hacking minigames in Alpha Protocol.
great CS reference, really engaging and fun little game too! Love the implementation of the theme, good job. (also, the explosion sound FX are the best, haha)
That's quite a lot in only 5 hours! I got the same "random" number the first 5 or 6 times I tried. I still can't figure out what the correct wire to cut is after I open it.
that was intense! I really liked how you had to work it out as you went along. Some particle effects on success would have been cool but the detonation was really great - enjoyed this one!
Well done, man! That's quite fun for a 5 hour game and the mood is spot on :) I only wish you didn't have to click twice to check another piece of paper.
It's funny. For me, a similar spirit of the game "Prepare to meet thy god" I played the last month from an other game jam where you also have to turn off a bomb : http://artgameweekend.com/prepare-to-meet-thy-god/
I died LOADS. Really good entry though! I included this game in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/fUXvqevl8YI

I think if you had more time, this could be way more fun.
Love the implementation of the theme, good job.

@Jgpicatoste: it very well might.
Also, for it being done in 5 hours, it's a really cool minigame.

Simple game, but well implemented and bug-free the time limit makes it nicely challenging. Not a whole lot of replay value once you've won, though.
