10 is The End by TrueVacuum
What is this?
This is our first time trying to finish Ludum Dare, learn a lot and have a lot of fun.
We try to interact with all the elements in the game, and add some plot and performance to enrich the game experience. The flow of the game is very short, but I hope you can feel the story you want to express in it.
Every ten seconds, you will reach the end of the game. After countless ten seconds, the protagonist will reach the end of his life.
How to play

I'm currently stuck on level 7 and feel stupid but i'll get it
Nice work 👍
Music and overall presentation is excellent too. Great entry!
Art and sound is also amazing, good job on that part.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion! we are already fixing the window size and will upload the new package soon:)
In the end I could figure out all puzzles, but some were really difficult (7 and 8). I felt that the ratio "I'm happy because I found the solution" over "I'm frustrated because I have no idea what to do" was a bit low. Maybe at some point it would have been good to show an hint or something to tell the player what they should be looking for.
The images are amazing. Just out of curiosty, were they made by hand? If so, that's great work!
The music was probably the best part. I loved every second of it.
Very good game!
Thank you for your feedback!:)
Actually there are some changes on UI in level7&8,we are trying to make them more obviously now, and add some hint to optimize game experiment~
About images, there is little time left,so some of them come from the photos I take in daily life.
I will keep improving and do better next time:)
@zhuyao Now that you mention it, I actually saw the difference in level 7, but only realized that it was different when I saw it in level 8. Maybe it could be different, but after 10 seconds, it would start blinking between the default and the "two-gray-lines" versions. Just an idea ;) I actually believe it shouldn't be too obvious either, so I guess it's really hard to properly balance...
Again, good job!
Thank you for your feedback,glad you got some fun from this game:)We have discussde some methods to optimization 7&8,we will notice more details on level design next time~Thanks again :)
I will echo what others are saying about 7&8, although I did manage to complete the whole game. I think having a little hint tooltip appear after 10 seconds could be a good way to help people who need it without making the answer too obvious. It would also mean that people who don't want the hint don't have to click it.
Overall, I love this game!
I got stuck at level 5 though. It just displays a zero and reacts to nothing. Not sure if it's a bug or if I just can't figure it out...
