Nice concept, it's hard to plan something since events arent maped to the launch button so each try is different and you need to have some luck, even if you try so hard to press the button each time at the same moment.
Works with wine on linux
Yeah, I was having an issue submitting the web version. I just pulled the link since it won't work properly. Sorry about that. I credit this to me being an ld noob.
Really liked this! Found it really satisfying adjusting the timings until I got it right. Great work!
Interesting idea. It's VERY difficult, because as it turns out humans are not good ad turning time into numbers. funny, I was just having a conversation about this :P
The concept has promise, good work!
Quite a nice concept,
however it's very hard to execute your delayed moves when the simulation keeps changing and doesn't reset to a basepoint.
It would have the numbers from the last attempt carry over. Sometimes you die because you clicked Engage at the wrong time. Intersting concept, nice execution!
awesome idea, as almost everyone said, it's sad that the events doesn't reset while pressing the launch button.
nice graphics and music also
Really good job. It one of my favourite games among all I already try. Very smart game.
Yeah, like most other players said, luck associated with puzzles isn't too compatible, the whole 10 seconds didn't even have to be used. Anyways, the idea was innovative, and great soundtrack!
Interesting idea which could be really fun with some more tweaking. For example, it would be nice if it remembers the time settings between each round. :)
Yes. Saving the numbers has been the number one piece of feedback so far. I had a bunch of my students play it and they all felt the same way. Maybe I I had 2 more hours :)
Really nice puzzle game. Love it. I featured this game in my LD27 compilation video, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/jm5J5gdV81o

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.
Dropbox link to web version didn't like to the html file, it just linked to the folder .
