Ripcord is a sort of text adventure game, so it helps if you've played those before. You have 10 seconds to assure your safety somehow before the ground comes up to greet you. There are 6 different endings, some good, some bad. If you want a hint, I'll post one at the bottom of this description, so skip over that if you've played Zork or otherwise know a trope of the genre.

This is my friend Conrad's first game. I didn't have enough time this weekend to do a 48 hour game on my own, what with all the drinking I had to do, and I liked his idea, so we turned it into a jam game.

Conrad Merkle - code, words, concept
Matt Starsoneck - code, words, art, music
Andrew Montoya - terrible ideas that we didn't use ;p
(check out his game, I really like it! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=25461)



HINT: what have you got in your pockets?
