Multitaskor by munchor
Chromium or Chrome is heavily recommend over Firefox or any other browser for the game. On my laptop, I can't get it to run fluidly (stable 60 FPS) on Firefox. There are reports that it works just fine on Firefox, but to be safe, if you can you should use Chromium/Chrome.

About
---------
Multitaskor is a simple game made in 48 hours for the Ludum Dare 27. The theme for this edition of Ludum Dare was "10 Seconds". As so, Multitaskor features several mini arcade games and the player will play each stage for 10 seconds only. Further on, a stage will consist of two games at the very time using a split-screen feature.
----------------
How to play
----------------
The controls for Multitaskor are very simple and are mostly just the right/left and up/down arrow keys. Besides these, the "space bar" is also used in one of the mini games. However, the controls should be fairly attainable from the game itself which displays the keys to use in each mini game.
--------------
Technology
--------------
To play the game, you'll need a modern browser. Multitaskor is a HTML5 game written in Javascript using the Pentagine framework.

However, good idea and implementation.
Very nice game! :D
Two things I would improve/fix:
1º It's a bit easy. More difficult = more fun.
2º By intuition, I used W and S to move up and down, and it worked. Next minigame, I wanted to use D and A to move right and left, but oh! It didn't. And then I moved my hands to the arrow keys.
Cheers.
I agree with you guys that you shouldn't have to repeat the beginning levels, they should only be played once, but it's too late now I guess, thank you all for the great feedback so far.
Suprisingly, multitasking in this game is not that hard. The only game I had a problem with when multitasking was the jumping one. It took me some time to figure it out, but I think this is because unlike all others obstacles, the spikes are not dark but gray-ish, meaning that when I focus my sight on another game, they do not appear as well as, for example, rectangles in the side-scroller.
That being said, I managed to survive two rounds of these, so I guess I am just kind of bad at your game.
Anyway, good job!
