My new laptop just came in so I was able to fix that and put it up as the post-compo version. I am planning on using a time system for entity movement in the future where it would be a ratio between their speed dictates how far they should move during a certain time interval which would be calculated every tick instead of my current system of making them move a certain number of pixels every tick."},{"author_name":"Almax27","author_uid":"21581","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 7:22am","epoch":1377847020,"text":"Am I playing a tardis? :D"},{"author_name":"loxo","author_uid":"23206","time":"Sep 1, 2013 @ 9:15am","epoch":1378026600,"text":"I like the concept very much!

You are just a space traveled that saved the planet from having more than 10 seconds drained from it's time line but now you have to go through the solar system to retrieve the 10 seconds that were scattered across the planets.\r\n\r\nControlls:\r\nW - Jump\r\nA - Move Left\r\nD - Move Right\r\nEsc - go back to the world select screen\r\n\r\nEach world has 6 levels in it however not all of them necessarally contain any of the stolen time. To get the time you have to touch the time alter that is at the end of the level. All of the levels are randomly generated with a structure based terrain generator. To go into a planet you simply click on it and you are then taken into the planet's map which has the 6 different regions. You click on the one that you want to go to. If you haven't completed the region it will highlight when you mouse over it. \r\n\r\nSorry for not having any sounds. I am using a different (and a lot worse) laptop than I have been using. This one using ubuntu and is a lot slower. When I was trying to add in sounds less than an hour before the end of the compotetion, I wasn't able to get it to work.\r\n\r\nI used my own game engin\/framework that I had released to the public (with a post on LD) beforehand which you can find here: https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/Jogy34\/xerngameengine\/src","title":"The Stolen Seconds"}
