Entry made using http://craftstud.io/

PLEASE NOTE:
-Be patient during download or loading on the web as the game includes some quite large music files.
-The Window and mac versions require XNA and Mono respectively, more details here: http://craftstudio.wikia.com/wiki/Game_Export
-Downloads have less issues, but if your not inclined to do so, the web version works best in chrome. Firefox and IE lack sound and are more buggy. (These issues are a result of the CS compiler and out of my control)

Lo-X I think you tried opening the downloads while they were still being uploaded. If you try again it should work now.

Very original idea, creative.

The art is good, and the writing is also very funny.

The web version is broken for me on a Mac, anywhere I click it brings up the credits.

I downloaded the Mac version, though, and it was pretty fun. I have to say that one time the ending's text went off the screen. Screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/2C3y382g0O1f

Hilarious entry! The gameplay is simple and it takes bit too long to try again, but the witty dialogue makes finding the endings fun.

Quite addicting. I'd be curious to see ALL the endings. ;)

Great take on the theme, and the multiple endings help keep it fun. Nice job.

Music didn't work for me on Firefox.

Concept is neat, too much clicking for repeated play, though.

Bonus points for creativity.

8 sec with the music, 10 without :D, at least on my first run all kingdom can agree in peace :)

Haha, this is funny. Such a simple idea but executed in a fun way. I like it!

While this is an idea i've seen used a few times, your version of "determine 10 seconds" is the best I've seen yet. Funny and fun.

Haha, nice one, I didn't expect that :) Could not get closer than 9.6!

Great wrapper around a simple challenge (counting off 10 seconds in your head). The endings were great, but it would have been even cooler if they were mathematically correct based on how close you got to 10s.

HAHA 9.9 sec ! :D

I love the multiple ending.
Fun brilliant idea, and nice mood ! :)

Can't play with musics, don't know why. :?
The game is always as "mute" and i can't change.

Thank you everyone for all your kind feedback :)

@Jarcas Studios

You've found me out, ran out of time to implement that feature ;)

@Mlle Eole

Which format are you playing? I know there are some audio issues with Firefox and IE, if you are able to please try using a different browser. The mute button is always labelled mute and should switch between a speaker and a crossed out speaker indicating what state the game is in.

Thanks for your comment! Incidentally, those little monsters are actually named "Scurry" in my ToDo list, so it's quite pleasing to hear that you liked their movement! Now on to your entry:

Ooh, a Craft Studio entry - first one I see this LD.

The endings, I love them - funny consequences, and there is no "wrong" as far as the game goes (you are king after all!), just those consequences. And the comments under them. Especially the one about the kings weight. I'm missing an ending for getting those 10 seconds quite right (I got 10.13 once).

The music fits very well, I like it!

Ahah the elevator music was just excellent.
And I definitely don't know how to count time.

Heh - nice idea, and good use of humour :)
(there doesn't seem much need for an "Exit" button in the web version, though)

More arbitrary standards!

Actually I just played again and saw the bit about the King's weight. I am satisfied.

Fun with the different endings. :)

I just wish it was quicker to start over, then I would have played just to see even more endings. :D

Thanks to everyone who has rated in the last week I've been on holiday so have been unable to reciprocate, but will certainly check out your games anyway.
