Count2Ten by mboaj

made by mboaj for LD27 (JAM)
How long do ten seconds last? This is exactly the goal of this very very simple game: to understand how much time there is in 10 seconds.

The game is very simple and needs to be played with friends for the maximum fun. Select the number of players, agree to the honor code (YES WE HAVE AN HONOR CODE :) and read the instructions (or don't read them since it is very simple).

Every player is identified by a color and a key he/she needs to keep pressed (yes! keep it pressed when you lift the finger your game ends :). After a short count down (keep the keys pressed!) the game starts.

The goal is very simple: WHEN YOU FEEL THAT 10 SECONDS HAVE PASSED LIFT THE FINGER. At the end, when all the players have lifed their fingers or 20 seconds have passed the game end. The player who gave the best guess wins.

But ... you might get distracted ... by your friends ... or ...

As I said, it is a very very simple game :) but I had a lot of fun playtesting it with friends. I hope you will enjoy it as well.

Sounds are all from http://www.freesfx.co.uk

The font is Lato from www.latofonts.com/

The only "character" around is a free download from http://tooncharacters.com/

***NOTE*** the maximum number of players depend on the number of pressed keys the keyboard can recognize: on Mac it recognizes 6 so you can have the maximum fun; on windows, some players could try it only up to four players.

Fun little game; the art style makes me feel warm and fuzzy. If you unzip the .html and .unity3d files into the 'Public' DropBox folder, then right click the .html and select 'Copy public link' and put that in the web field for your page, then people can play the game in their browser instead of having to download it.

Thank you! Yesterday night I rushed submission and I actually did not know anything about the Public folder. Just changed!

Had the idea too make it multiplayer too but didn't have the time, had the idea to implement deconcentrating features like yours too !

I liked it ! Really polish and simple ! Great job ! :))

What a great idea for a game. I only played it with two people but I could see with four or six that it would be great fun indeed.

The aesthetics are fantastic and everything is well polished. Nicely done!

Well, that's a theme bullseye. Finished product, with nothing to add, remove or fix. It's nice to test one's time-tracking abilities. 5-star overall.

Fun game, much more interesting as a party game compared on single player. Even then though it seems a bit too simple. A little bit of ambient music could be interesting, or party music, could switch it up to throw people off. Even so I liked the art and distractions. Overall it was a fun time killer.

Clean design. Simple concept whit a good execution.
Nice Idea, it dont fit for one player, but for a competition its very nice. Its well worked. Guess could be more fuzzy when the time counts.

@Bearbotnik thank you for the suggestion. The single player was just for test although there is a easter egg in it. If you press the numbers from 1-8 while having the space-bar pressed it shows all the implemented distractions. As I said, the one-player is mainly for testing.

This is very similar in concept to my entry. One suggestion to allow having more simultaneous key presses is to use the mouse buttons as well.

@OddballDave are you sure you can catch up up to 26 keys? On the mac I was able to use 4 letters/numbers and then special keys (controls etc.) but on windows keyboard no more than 4! :( at least this experienced the people who playtested the game.

Simple little eyeopener. Only tested with one, but imagine it is more fun with more. :)

The link to the Linux version is dead. If you want me to play your game, drop me a note (@tinyworlds), when the download is online again ;)
