I love competing in Ludum Dare and have done 4 compos previously. However this time I just didn't have the weekend free to spend on it so I hadn't planned on entering. But when I checked the theme I was happy to see it was "10 Seconds" as it gave me an idea, if I can't dedicate 48 hours to the Jam, can I afford 48 minutes?
So that's what I did, 48 minutes from blank game-engine project to completed game.
I used Haxe NME and my own pre-existing game tools (screen flow, maths and text helpers and so on).
It has entirely text-based visuals and is super rough around the edges of course :p
Please play it and let me know what you think :)
P.s I'm on twitter @nixeldev :p

Interesting idea! It's not the most fun but it's pretty good for 48 minutes. I think the biggest problem is the randomly-generated numbers, it's much easier to be accurate in a lower scale.
I like the simplicity of it, though some greater variation between levels or some kind of endgame/high scores would have been nice. Great job for a 48 minute game, though. :)
Aw man I like this! So simple but well implemented and easy to get into.
Nice font. Got me counting and I did get better which is nice. Simple but sweet.
most of the first 5 rounds, i was 1-2 full seconds off.
Last round, I had 0.23 seconds left and Im like HAH I can't do that!
then BAM! I made it with .02 seconds remaining now!!
made it to round 6.
interesting simple game
should have entered into the compo!
Great idea for a 48 minute game! The short development time didn't detract from the fun at all!
I liked this game a lot :)
Simple and addictive, and suitable for multiplayer as well if you want to develop it further. Give it another 10-12 minutes or so ;)
I can honestly say that i've learnt to count seconds better! Sucked in the start, but became pretty precise towards the end.
Considering you only used 48 mins, this is an fantastic entry.
So simple, yet good fun.
Great game for 48m. It gets the job done! I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 compilation series if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biBzDWmV3kc
Nice use of the theme. 10 second limit, but not in an immediate way.

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.
Excellent concept and cool clean implementation. +1
