Interesting game. Kind of boring, and there are a lot like it, however. It did have a nice 'story' though

I would like to inform you that I had a nice time and I laughed. I am laughing as I'm rating. For that, I award you a 5/5 in humor.
Good night.

Minimalist but good idea :) I think you could make it deeper.
And I was expecting some good sound from you! è_é

@yakka 12 hours are not enough to implement all the ideas we had, at least we have a prototype here :D Thx you my dear Yakka !

Reading the description, I thought that was a good take on the 10 second theme, but I felt the implementation didn't really reflect it well. I think for the scoring, it would have helped to see what you got each round, so you could see how your performance each time affected it. For just 12 hours of work tho, its a nice little game!

396120, woo! I think that was mostly sevens. You would think, after having worked on a game involving ten seconds all weekend long, I would be a better judge of time.

But I'm not! :-)

Very nice theme usage, graphics and music. Pretty fun game, now I master the "count to ten in your head" skill

Lol I like it! I kind of wish the characters looked a little less out of place in that background, though. The music is adorable.
