The game is a little buggy, but I love your art style, and the music is pretty good.

Cute little platformer with a rather nice intro. Good art and a better-developed story than I expected. I really love your interpretation of the theme - haven't seen anyone increment up to 10 seconds yet! Great job!

I liked the use of the theme and the controls are a little slippery, but other than that its a solid game. Well Done.

The first few levels were okay, but by the third or fourth with seven enemies rushing into an a four block section it became incredibly difficult to get an attack before you die. It took me a good 30 tried or so to get that level cleared.

Finished, polished and playable. I particularly like the intro and ending. I think this is the first game I've played where the ten seconds aren't used as countdoxn, so that's a change. Collisions felt a bit unusual at times, but that's probably just me.

Actually, when I think about it, the game setting and story are a bit weird. That's cool !

Nice story, I enjoyed that a lot and it definitely added to the mood. The player movement could be improved though.

Sometimes enemies get stuck making the level impossible.

Graphics were very pleasant and charming. The story was a bit confusing but a fun game despite that!

The controls and the response... kinda wild! :P
Have to get the hang off it.

Otherwise pretty nice short game

This was really hard. Perhaps the controls are a bit off? The music and graphics were nice, though :)
