BouncyTime by Brejlounek

[raw]
made by Brejlounek for LD27 (JAM)
Save your garden from bomb attacks of evil Hyghakaka by running over them with your car while ping-pong travelling through the same 10 seconds of time!

But beware, I don't recommend hitting yourself in the past, that could wipe out time. Sure, it's very crowded after a while. Time for which you survive is what matters!

Enjoy this simple time-bouncy driving game made using Game Maker 8.0 with mostly mouth-made sounds, rubber band-made menu music and time-bending gameplay :)

Nice, this is the type of game I wanted to see more of - insertive time travel. Balance is kind of off, but big surprise there.

Instead of using esc to exit the level and mouse for the main menu, you should have stuck with one input type (or both).

Thanks! :) Lot of time went into balancing game (bomb slows done when there is smiley, for example), still the bomb detonates unfairly soon sometimes... Yeah, I should have stuck to keyboard input in the menu, I forgot in the process. I recommend headphones for the best sound experience :D

Nice game and beautiful way of using 10 seconds as a theme.

Awesome. :) Not much more to say - I don't think there's much room for improvement, everything is pretty well executed and the concept is nice as well. Visuals are good, the sound is funny (so is the tutorial), so.. overall, high ratings for you, Sir!

Man, that engine sound, pure genius. The controls are nice, you've got a solid start for making some kinda time themed micro machines game.

The idea is really good, the gameplay works well and is fun.

The tutorial explains the mechanics well, the texts are funny, and the audio ... is freaking awesome! Best SFX EVER! :)

My favorite game so far.

Really nice play, interesting mechanic. Bug in the tutorial though where you can break spacetime as much as you like. Other than that a nice game. Good job.

Great concept, mechanics, and theme fitting! Great to see sommething innovative unlike just slapping a 10 second timer on any regular game!

Fun game, simple enough at the beginning for the player to grasp which is nice

Cool game, it reminded me of this one in which you had to kill yourself every 60 seconds and grab an energy ball, and the cycle repeated itself over and over again until you lose all your lifes.
I liked the interpretation of the theme, and the gameplay was fun. I would have prefered if the clock ran on the paviment instead of having an overlay, but is a minor detail.
Sfxs were cool, and art was ok, not my cup of tea, but surely is functional. The painted smile was a funny detail.
Btw, I tried to close the window, just hitting the 'x' on the border, and it did not work, is not a big deal, but I think is an usability issue to take into account in the future.

Thank you, everyone! :D

Jellycakes: That's intended, I thought player could die in tutorial too quickly and toss the game away. :)

vladimirdlc: Yeah, that not-functional [x] is a little weird, I programmed it as if it was fullscreen app... :D
