In Darn Clock you play as a late for work employee. You have 10 seconds to catch the bus otherwise you will come in late and lose a bit of your salary. Don't be late too much or you will lose your job! Don't worry about the collateral damage you might cause...
This game is inspired by my daily morning. Except I don't have a suitcase...
This was done in 36 hours because I had forgotten about the LD this weekend. So it probably lacks polish and has lots of bugs. Tell me what you think in the comments and I will be grateful!
UPDATE: linux version was missing files, fixed in the new link
UPDATE 2: added Post-Ludum version with sounds, improved graphics and minor tweaks

I really enjoyed this game! It's very intuitive to understand how to play it. The small character moves also nicely.
I liked it, it was rather lighthearted and some of the effects made me very slightly chuckle.
Awesome game, watching the exploding traffic mayhem had me cracking up.
This is great! :D
Love the graphics, the blood, the explosions, and the general mayhem resulting from catching my bus.
I'm really, really disappointed not to hear any sound though, and that font doesn't quite do justice to the rest of the game. I'm still gonna play it some more. :)
The amount of things that can happen in this game is awesome! eg. Runs in front of car. Car spins out of control following me. I walk into another cars side. first car hits me. Explosion!
Damn, this is awesome! So much fun. I like effects , some sounds could make it perfect. Implementation of theme is great.
Great fun. I love that there's no penalty for causing mayhem. The only complaint I have is that the controls for getting on to the bus can be a little fiddly; you have to hit the door fairly accurately.
Great game. I really enjoy playing even without making to the bus. Just making havoc was fun.
It really reminds me "Frogger". The art style is simple but feels good, the animation is really epic. Nice work overall.
Damn I love how the cars turn over when I touch them xD I also LOVE games with reduced graphics like in yours! One of the coolest games i've seen so far^^
Amazing! That jumpy little fella is really darn cute and the physics extremely fun.
Great job!
I like this one, and I was definitely amused by the death screen.
Ahaha very fun game, the traffic explosion surprise me. It was cool :)
Really like this modern frogger! :D
I love new obstacles coming out at each new level! :)
So far my top favorite game!! Really nicely polished and great idea to take something we all have experienced and make it into a game :) Sounds!:O!!!
This was a lot of fun! I like the graphic style and the bright colors.
Great entry! There are just so many hidden humors that collectively make this the most humorous game I've rated so far! Only if it had audio, the experience could've been near perfection. Great Job!
Really like it, addicting as hell, and the special stuff that can happen that you added(stopping in front of a car and causing an accident, walking into other people and falling, etc) are really great!
real cool I wish there was like a zoom out option once you die to watch all the chaos!!!
Dude this was the most hillariously awesome game I've played so far! The cars tipping and exploding, etc. was awesome! I only managed to keep my job for 9 days though X_X. My only complaint about this is the mouse controls made it really hard to be precise for me (maybe I'm not used to it) and it seemed like sometimes I could get into the bus from the street side? (Maybe a bug?) Anyways loved it I hope you do something more with it!
Hahah! So good - i didn't know to click-to-run at first so I kept missing the bus. After that... was awesome!
Haha, have a lot of humorous sense in this game. Enjoy playing it alot :)
HOLY CRAP!! just getting the bus to work is such a mess I don't want even to imagine what's his job. An incredibly fun caricature of our society.
This is brilliant! Particularly enjoyed the pixelly particle blood. Lovely job.
Nice take on Frogger, I liked the simple graphics based on cubes and spheres. I loved the cute animations and explosion effects. You did a lot with really simple elements, kudos!

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.
Fun game, brought back Frogger memories.
