Interesting game. Kind of boring, and there are a lot like it, however. It did have a nice 'story' though
I would like to inform you that I had a nice time and I laughed. I am laughing as I'm rating. For that, I award you a 5/5 in humor.
Good night.
Poor aliens :(, but who am I to judge their culture?! Nice simple game.
Hey,
@markengley : music fault :D
@gbear605 : We wanted it to be multiplayer, but not enugh time spent on it :p
@Feysoura : Haha, I laughed a lot too when the alien moved for the first time XD Thx ! :)
@Nights57 : Thx :))
Sometimes simple things are best :) TIL I'm a lousy judge of time :)
I like the game a lot it so simple in a good way :)
looking like I need to play your game for 28.
Minimalist but good idea :) I think you could make it deeper.
And I was expecting some good sound from you! è_é
@yakka 12 hours are not enough to implement all the ideas we had, at least we have a prototype here :D Thx you my dear Yakka !
Reading the description, I thought that was a good take on the 10 second theme, but I felt the implementation didn't really reflect it well. I think for the scoring, it would have helped to see what you got each round, so you could see how your performance each time affected it. For just 12 hours of work tho, its a nice little game!
396120, woo! I think that was mostly sevens. You would think, after having worked on a game involving ten seconds all weekend long, I would be a better judge of time.
But I'm not! :-)

Very nice theme usage, graphics and music. Pretty fun game, now I master the "count to ten in your head" skill
Hey guys,
@Jason : SpaceBar to see your current score :)
@Marcellus thx :)
Nice and simple. With that music, I understand why they suicide ;)
Lol I like it! I kind of wish the characters looked a little less out of place in that background, though. The music is adorable.
funny and simple. Good use of the "counting to ten" mechanic.
Got a final score of 291744! Was pretty funny but the eyes hanging down when you bash into the wall was kind of gross lol.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
