Probably deserved to be blown up after making a bee-killing level in my game...

Perhaps adding a shooting mechanic to make the bees explode prematurely would be cool? Also being able to chain explode a large group of bees and getting a combo bonus?

I like the audio and visuals and of course the title. A good base game. Too bad you ran out of time. Good luck on making additions and improvements!

Cool art. The countdown timer was a bit hard to see though, more levels and enemy types would have been dope.

I was really surprised to find this game. I never imagined there would be another game using the word “BOMBLE” besides my own.

I really enjoyed the simple gameplay. I’m also looking forward to the improvements you mentioned.

It wasn’t mentioned in the instructions, but is it possible to trigger an explosion by pressing the E key?

I left the dev cheats on lmao.

hey!! simple but fun game!! the art + visuals are super charming and the controls feel nice dashing and flying around. i think others have already said this, but it would be cool if there was music + more sound queues (e.g. sfx for dashing, bumping bees, etc.). feels a bit quiet, but other than that cool stuff!!

Another bee enthousiast ! I love how chaotic it gets when all the bees push each others around with their explosion. Great job!

A fun game, really like how the controls feel & the fast motion of the dash. The timer on the bomb bees is a bit a hard to read, though. Aside from that the game was easy to understand and enjoyable.

The game core along with the art are really addictive! Nice work!

Cool game!
The bomb timer is difficult to see against the background, but I found this to be simple and satisfying, plus the name is charming.

Cool game! I got my chuckle indeed so I'm satiated lol. It seems like you're planning on polishing things up after the jam which is awesome, so I might make the suggestion of having there be some other audio so the first explosion isn't as jarring as it was, if music isn't doable for you (i make music wink wink lol), even just light bee buzzing noises would add a lot for this. Fun game and great work!

Oh i agree! i scared my cat with the explosions the first time i played the game after submitting it. I had a lot of things planned but didn’t get to implement them before i ran out of time. This is my first game ever with Godot so i had to learn a lot of things. I got caught up learning how to make the movement feel good i forgot i had to make the rest of the game.

I would’ve loved to add music to the game, swish sounds for the flying,etc. If you wanna talk about collaborating my discord @ is [REDACTED]

oh yeah I get that, and your effort was worth it the effort felt great!

The orange text on the dark yellow background is a little hard to read. Fun little game though!

I had fun but I wish the concept was expanded upon. Also there was a funny bug where there were like five explosions right after each other at the end.
