10 Seciond Patriot by mscholz89

made by mscholz89 for LD27 (JAM)

A Brock Jackson Story.

Cut the wires to disarm the bombs!!!

Made by my brothers and I in ~30 hrs or less for the Jam. Not a ton of gameplay compared to the amount of story, but this is the first game any of us made, so it was a learning experience. Should be mostly bug free.

Tools : Construct 2, GIMP, Sunvox, MSPAINT.

Nice story ;) I like the way you design the bombs. Great work!

This looked real promising and I really wanted to play it but the second level was bugged and one wire was already cut when it started and the bomb countdown went negative and didn't explode, still I suppose that's good for the folks in the hospital :P The text could have been much slower too, but still nice concept :)

Haha! I got some good laughs at the cliche tough guy cop story. Any game with a cop named "Brock" is great in my book! Nice job!

Not sure it's working right, once I got to the bomb nothing I clicked on had any effect. 2nd time it went the clock counted down past zero, into negative. Down to -56 at the moment. :)

I got in a bug with the 3 vertical green wires, and the level kept looping. The text was hard to read at times, and it was kinda hard to keep track of the next text that was supposed to be read. I did enjoy the intentionally ridiculous art style. I hope to see you in the next LD... Construct 2 is a great tool, especially for these competitions

Dude, that was awesome. Very simple and silly, but more fun than I expected. The disco ones threw me off at first :P. It would have been great if they were unlabeled and just basically blended with the color of the light (blue wire in yellow light would look green). Anyways great job, and kudos on HTML5.

Neat game with a fun story.

But seriously though, I'm trying to disarm a bomb over here. Someone tell them to turn off that disco ball!

I like the story. But I wish I could skip it and get right into the game. Actually the bomb design is flippin great. Let's see. How shall we score this? Ahh. it made me laugh. In the second act the bomb changed without me doing anything. Great Jam Guys BONUS POINTS FOR SUNVOX!!! Please rate my game!

Decent silly fun. The ending is pretty weird. Also: I'm Brock, right? I should be able to send my Geodude after that guy.

Well, I found some of the words went by too fast, others too slow, making the game extremely hard to play in one minute, however I found the story pretty good and tried my best to include it in my Ludum Dare compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6xfnRK2Anw
