In addition to being a unit of time, a second can also be a unit of measurement - 1/60th of a minute, which is 1/60 of a degree of latitude or longitude. What if the world was suddenly reduced to only 10 square seconds of latitude and longitude? This is what it might look like.
How do you play it? Enjoy the world, and don't get eaten by zombies. The game would have benefited greatly from a lot more content and balancing, but I hope it's interesting in its Game Jam state.

"MSVCP100D is missing from you computer"
I want to play this, make it work!
That moving spikes totally hypnotized me :D
Simple but definitely playable!
Sorry ...that was for other game.
To you:
"MSVCP100D is missing from you computer"
Can not play
Great mood and audio! I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do though, and sometimes the zombies would go right through the fences/walls!
Thanks for reporting that, all. I uploaded a new version that should fix it. The new file is "ld27_bmacintosh_2.zip".
The music is fantastically creepy. Is there a win condition? I couldn't figure out an objective besides running to the far end..
Nope, no objectives really, other than "stay alive". I focused too much, perhaps, on the world and I was trying to add gameplay in the last few hours.
Oh hey! Were you on IRC while I was telling people about arcseconds, or did you think of it independently.
The audio and visuals are very spooky, but I missed the target of the game.
@porglezomp - I don't use IRC, it was one of the first things I thought of when I started thinking about alternate definitions.
Fantastic entry! The music was a highlight for me - really added to the tension in the game.
Very interesting. I loved the visual effects. The music was quite fitting.
neat, more objectives would have been nice, exploring is fun be we need to have a reason
Great entry. I found it a bit annoying that the weapon we take lasts only for one hit, even if we miss!
But the restricted vision and the music adds to the experience. Great job! Kept on my toes :)
Great entry! I would love it even more if the zombies would fall to their demise after I push them over the edge with the shield.

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.
Great audio and gameplay!
