10 Seconds to Save the World by TeamAlpha
He opens his eyes. He has no idea where he is, or why he's there. All he knows is he has to run.
Suddenly, he hears someone panting. He gets up quickly, only to find out he is floating above the floor. "What am I?"
"Run", the exhausted voice says. The voice is familiar, but before he is able to say anything to the mysterious person a bright light, followed by a loud bang, knocks him down.
A white robot, floating at a distance, comes to him slowly. He wants to run, but he can't move his... His... Jet pack? "WHAT AM I?"
The peculiar bot approaches him and whispers: "you are running out of time." For some reason those words send down shivers through a spine he didn't even acknowledge until now. He blinks in awe, only to find an empty space where the strange creature stood a second before.
"I must get out of here", says he, "somehow."
Searching the room for something that might help he understand anything, he finds a big figure laying still in a corner. "Professor... Mok? Wait, who?" Baffled by his sudden knowledge, he starts backing up, only to hit a table and find, for the first time, something familiar.
"This I've seen before." The... thing he holds emits a faint blue light and a small hum. He starts walking across the room, seemingly guided by the object, only to find a big, blue lit platform.
"Let's see what you can do."
As the last letter came out of his vocal device, all became light. He was everywhere and nowhere as time and space flew by him. He knew everything. He knew who he was. And he knew something was wrong there.
Glitching throughout eras, the weird little device warned: "battery low". All became darkness.
And there he was, on a cold lab floor, with a weak time machine and an urge to run somewhere. He, Zegosh Zero-Zero-One, the project gone wrong, had ten seconds to save the world.

Sorry, an end message was one of the things we were going to put in the game but didn't have the time to (we only had until Sunday because of other real life stuff :c)

Nice job! I liked the way the timer reset when you get to the blue thingy. A bit too short, I would've played this more. :)

This is really nicely done for a LD entry. The controls are very intuitive, and the first level explains the game perfectly. Kudos.

I like how you sort of have to think recursively to beat the levels.

Interesting platformer, levels are a bit easy and the mechanics are never really explored could be a great game with some work. The missing ending message make me sad.

Good platformer, good concept. Too bad there are only few very easy levels. Grow it into something more! :)
