I like the way it changes from one mini-game to another and the idea in general.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Two things I would improve\/fix:\r<br\/>1&ordm; It's a bit easy. More difficult = more fun.\r<br\/>2&ordm; 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.

I was not a fan of the repetitive beeping sound, and found the game rather repetitive -- more puzzles would help with this. Also, I wasn't sure why the single-puzzle levels kept coming back after the multi-tasking levels had started.

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.\r<br\/>That being said, I managed to survive two rounds of these, so I guess I am just kind of bad at your game.\r<br\/>Anyway, good job!"},{"author_name":"udo","author_uid":"6821","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 8:01am","epoch":1377762960,"text":"Hey, another Hacker News person!

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.\r\n\r\n----------------\r\nHow to play\r\n----------------\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\n--------------\r\nTechnology\r\n--------------\r\nTo play the game, you'll need a modern browser. Multitaskor is a HTML5 game written in Javascript using the Pentagine framework.\r\n\r\nMade with care, by @Munchor!","title":"Multitaskor"}
