i maxed the explosion range and now im able to destroy the whole earth nothing will stop me from this
Awesome idea for the jam theme! this was very satisfying to play and very intuitive right off the bat.
My only issue beyond minor polish details is that it felt like it was too low stakes. There wasn’t a goal or anything that I had to meet which made it feel kind of pointless after a while. Like imagine if in balatro you didn’t have to reach a score threshold to win. Just play the hand until you run out of cards and use the cash to buy upgrades.
Very early on I felt like skipping uprades after each round to just keep hoarding cash for the more expensive ones since I didn’t have any incentive to improve my score between rounds
Very nicely polished! The lil gold nuggets animating into my account was my favourite part
A pretty simple and short game.
The art style is clean and neat.
The gameplay is pretty fun. Seeing the dynamites explode and destroy those rocks is satisfying.
I think it would be a good idea to have a counter that tells how many dynamites you currently have.
I also think the game should have an ending. Maybe either destroy all rocks in one go, or max out all upgrades.
The transition between the shop and gameplay is really nice.
The visual effects for the explosion could use more work though. Maybe add some explosion animation, or some fire effect, or even some smoke particles.
The sound effects are pretty good though. I think the explosion sound is powerful enough, but not too loud to the point where it becomes an annoyance. The sound for collection gold is also pretty satisfying to hear.
Though the BGM doesn't feel like it belong here. I'm not sure myself. It feels boring, I guess? The current music, in my opinion, fits more into an adventure game rather than these type of game. Though unfortunately I don't have any suggestion for the replacement.
thank you for good feedback
I like the explosions it was super good. Don't mind if i take the idea for my future projects ;)
ok but rate the game then and we r good
Ok sure ;)
I'm not lover of incrementals, but dayumn this teases my dopamines. It's just somehow peaceful to just click going. <3 VERY well done, mate! Good job. :)
Man, this is perfect for a game jam! Great idea and good job. Could totally expand on it.
Really cool game ! Satisfying and easy to play with a lot of polish ! It just lacks some content and is rather short (which is understandable as it was made in less than 72 hours) .
Overall, a really solid game !
I would've liked a more satisfying explosion effect and some sort of loss condition. Very solid, satisfying game!
Really clean, well-executed node-buster here! Amazing how different it can feel with a twist like placing bombs limited by distance from each other, it's more strategic. I definitely felt every upgrade, which is what you want. Very solid design.
This could really build out, especially with more sfx, vfx, music, weird variations on rocks (rocks that need more than 1 explosion until you upgrade power? rocks that explode and push your placed ones outward? rocks that ricochet and bounce around other rocks? upgrading individual bombs so your third bomb becomes special-er? bombs that explode in a plus shape?) Lots of ways to go!
thank you
fun, tactile, interesting premise! i had fun anticipating the chain of booms. I’m confident this can be a bigger game if continue developed.
Pretty fun, I boomed all the rocks !
I like the art style and gameplay, but there isn't much content. Otherwise, it's really fun
true
Simple but fun gameplay loop. All of the upgrades felt nice, and the ramp-up felt well-tuned to me. Short and simple game, but really well done. I love the little delay between the gold appearing and being collected; little touches like that can really make the game feel finished. My interest did wane somewhat once I was able to completely cover the board, but everything getting to that point was very fun. Great work!
thanks
It is a very well polished game. The artwork was great, and the screen effects were perfect too. it was indeed quite a small game, but that is exactly how jam games are meant to be short, creative, and fun! 🔥
Very Nice Game , The Sound Design is really good and overall This is a very polished game
I like how all the gold are swiftly collected, very satisfying. Everything here is great, though the music gets bland. While there isn't really any goal, I've made sure to make my bomb cover the whole arena, and it was great!
Really solid game! I could of easily played much longer if there was more upgrades and progression systems. I really like the interpretation of the theme too! The visuals were nice, especially the UI, and the music was also good! Just a really well made game with a smart and fun idea! Great job!
surprised that "especially ui" was nice lol, its my weakest part id say
Huh, I quite like it lol, feels satisfying and looks nice!
Woooo another incremental game! I actually really like the art for the rocks, they look very nice.
I'm addicted to incremental games and this is one I would play outside of this jam too :D
Cool and addictive game!
Thank you!
