Reminds me of my old CGA days on my first IBM system I ever got. The intro needs a way to skip if one decides to play again, as it can be long after going through it the first time.

It is listed with th rest of the controls at the end of the intro. Across from backspace is "restart game" and "skip intro" as these are the two functions backspace serves. \r\rThanks for playing!

Various items, monsters etc.\r\rHowever, the 10 seconds aren't really there. Right at the beginning, you get a lot of mana and very fast 2 minutes time.

It got my blood boiling reading it.\rThe game has terrific atmosphere, and lighting up the torches really creates the feel of the abysmal darkness around you. The moment a sin begins to stalk you just creates a sense of sheer terror.\rI couldn't figure out how to get away, though, and couldn't survive too long.. Even the skeletons I couldn't avoid correctly.\rIt's interesting how once the game starts, the back story begins to feel distant. The sense of unbreakable resolution and great purpose seem to fade, and is replaced with doubt and despair.\rHopefully I can finish the game at some point, I want to know how it ends..."},{"author_name":"GSM Productions","author_uid":"16481","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 12:44pm","epoch":1377693540,"text":"Excellent roguelike.

Hurray!\r\n\r\n10 Seconds in Hell is an old-school Adventure style exploration game in which the protagonist travels to Hell to search for the heart of his departed dearest one. Even the purest of souls do not last long in Hell, however... perhaps not even 10 seconds!\r\n\r\nThis game has some randomly generated elements to it elements to it to ensure that the experience is varied and different each time you play. Death is permanent, however, so do your best to avoid each of the seven deadly sins, as you will only have one shot at each of the loaded world configurations once!\r\n\r\nIf you've already beaten the game, you can try to improve on your performance and get a better score, or even aim to unlock the deepest, darkest secrets of hell by discovering the game's secret second ending...\r\n\r\nWhatever you do, have fun, and good luck! You'll need it if you want to last more than 10 seconds in Hell.\r\n\r\n!Important! EDIT 8\/26\/2013:\r\nSmall edit to fix game-breaking bug. If you already downloaded this game and want to play it again, please, download this version instead! Its a good thing I caught it so quickly; only a few people have played it so far. :)\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\nThese are listed at the end of the intro at the beginning. In case you forget though, the are:\r\n\r\nARROW KEYS: move around\/push blocks\/open doors\/open chests\r\nZ KEY: light a torch\/begin playing\r\nX KEY: pick up\/put down an item\r\nC KEY: take out a key\r\nBACKSPACE: restart game\/skip intro.\r\nSPACE: pause\/unpause the game.\r\nF4: toggles full screen mode\r\nF9: Take a screenshot\r\n\r\nHope that helps! Have fun, and be prepared to lose... a lot! :)\r\n\r\nEDIT: 8\/29\/2013\r\nFor those who enjoyed the game itself, I have continue to work on it and improve it over the last few days, and will be coming out with an updated version with some more features and less bugs than the competition version. You can download it on my website here: http:\/\/tylorlilley.com\/\r\n\r\nBut PLEASE only play it AFTER you've played AND rated the competition version. It would be unfair to have your criticisms skewed by a better version, and I have no interest in cheating! Haha.","title":"10 Seconds In Hell"}
