Had a lot a fun creating my 1st game "10 seconds til' Midnight"
My main character is matthew hopkins witch finder.
Use arrows keys and Space Bar
You get 10 seconds and only a few nets to throw at the Witch so make sure to aim wisely.
I created it using Gamemaker.
thanks for playing

OSX version doesn't launch, the OS doesn't recognize the file as a valid app.
Error on OS X Mountain Lion: "Classic environment is no longer supported".
yeah, sorry. have the same problem on Mac OS 10.8.2 as above :/
Another crash here. win7 x64, died immediately and did something weird to the brightness on my screen.
The Files Should play now, I don't know what happened, obviously something i did wrong;(
Like the graphics and the sound/music. Very interesting use of the theme :)
I had to use firefox to get it to work, but I did end up catching the witch. It was a struggle, but it paid off in the end. Nice concept. It could have been longer, though.
The music is great ! Too bad Matthew doesn't have a moving animation, this would have made him much more lively. I would have enjoyed at least a few more enemies, and the red font kind of constrats with the dark mood.
Pretty damn good for a first game though !
Nice art and pretty good music. The concept is a bit simple, but pretty nice for a first game.
I liked the twitch necessary to track the ridiculously fast witch. Overall the game was a bit too simple, however, and only held my attention for a few plays. Needs more variation, in levels and in witch behavior.
Plus, a bit of personal bias here, I'd rather play the witch >:D
I have a hard time trying to catch that cat, it moves too fast. It seems I can shoot only 3 times, I guess, making impossible to catch the cat.
I like how fast you can restart. it gives it a real hook. nice game.
Really short and not so good, but at least you made something. Now try to make something even better next time :D
Really short, simple game. I think its a cat, not a witch so that confused me a bit, and your Web link does point to a file that doesnt work in the end, however you did submit a game and in the time restraint, it is a pretty good game. I featured this game in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvnhwc_j5Mo
As I lay dying in the darkest of forests, where no living thing can ever be, a haunting melody sent shivers up my spine. And I beheld, half in terror half in admiration, the witch dancing around the ashen trees like a wild beast. I would be her supper tonight. I could see it in her mad, cat-like eyes.
I love the athmosphere in this game. Nice job!
Thanks for all the comments and feedback, what a great positive experience!

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.
Crashes as soon as I open it. Windows 7, sp1
