100-Dash Dreams by frogcheese
Run the 100-meter dash. Alternate left and right on the keyboard to speed up. Listen to the wise words of your coach. My first Ludum Dare attempt - as well as my first "published" game - may not have a whole lot of game in it, but on the other hand you'll be finished with it in less than five minutes :)
What does this have to do with 10 seconds? Well, sub-10 is a pretty good time for a 100-meter dash. Something to aim for. Or so I'm told. I was going to add a few "mini-games" relating to this as well, but 48 hours isn't a lot of time and I'm not a quick coder.
For anyone inclined to look at the source code, I apologize for the mess.
May also work on Linux, but I've only tested it on Mac and Windows.
Game was made with LibGDX, sounds with Bfxr.

Love the graphics style and presentation. Also after I tried and failed at creating a foot step sound effect I can really appreciate how good yours was. haha I couldn't beat 10 seconds though. If the world record was ten seconds it would have made the link to the theme a bit better.

For reference to anyone wondering the world record is 9.58 by Usain Bolt. 10 seconds and less is just really good. Anyone who feels bummed that they couldn't run under 10 seconds - it's probably my fault for not spending more time on balancing the speed gain/loss equation.

Love the graphics and the gameplay, the game is very simple but keeps you playing and trying to beat your highscore.

Keyboard masher 5000! Or rather arrow key masher. Interesting little game.

Super hilarious! I like, that you put personal statements into the game. More developers should do that.
