Cool game design! I really enjoyed the puzzle, especially having to solve it before the explosion. It creates a fun sense of urgency without being frustrating. Great job!

We would also love to hear your feedback on our game! :)

Neat game!  Simplistic artstyle is pulled of pretty well.  Great work!

Simple concept, but wonderfully executed~
Last level had me stumped for a while, but finally found the solution.

Really good puzzle design, all the levels had an interesting catch that resulted in a satisfying aha! moment. Great job!

I love the art style, and brilliant puzzle design!! This is a great use of the bomb explosion, and it feels somewhat cinematic to walk away from an explosion!

Contrary to many, I really love the simpleness of the pixel art in here, especially the colour palette usage lol. Had fun solving the little puzzles. But the text readability indeed needs more work though.

Creative take on the concept! Really enjoyed the puzzles and the minimalist art style worked (though was a bit confusing to look at at first)

Really addicting puzzles. Thought it was a good mix of mechanics and even got more use out of the bomb itself, being able to move it. cool concept and great submission!

Addictive little puzzle game with a really cool concept! I love it!

This is such a cool and fun idea, the font choice could certainly use some work though. But this feels like something I would play on a GBA for sure!

Pretty decent game. I get the minimal pixel art style, but honestly it might be a little too minimal

This made me realize I like puzzle games! The difficulty slowly increased instead of suddenly which I really liked. This game is really fun!

Fun and simple puzzle game! I think that’s a shared sentiment among the comments~

I think readability on the font is definitely a problem on this one, but that is expected on how low of a resolution you’re trying to do. A 3x4 pixel font works a lot better for this if you want to keep low res.

“Explodes in:” can be substituted with like a timer icon or a bomb icon to reduce clutter, but that is also hard to do in such a low resolution…

Also, I think there’s no surprise that there should be a full reset option, maybe a keybind for each rewind, like backspace.

Real nice game though! Well done~

i really enjoyed what i played!! this game made me laugh way more than i was intended to laugh at it 😭 every time the bomb exploded i kept thinking about the  episode of spongebob with the pie and cackled every time 😭. other than that though (or i suppose including it, since it made me love the game even more), genuinely great puzzle game!

Fun puzzle game! Really cool mechanics and very polished!

I found the pixel art a little hard to read, but otherwise very fun. The jumping mechanic was very neat.

5/5 enjoyment!! Out of the like 10 jam games I've played so far, this is by far my favorite. And it was made in half the time and it has like 20 pixels. Crazy stuff. I love these sort of pixel-minning games, and I hope this places well. Are you doing the Gameboy jam in a few weeks? Seems very similar to this. Well good luck!!

Also was this made in godot?

thank you so much, this really means a lot to me!! As for the gameboy jam, I actually haven’t heard about it but I am definitely interested in joining now! And yes, this game was made in godot

Same comment here as in the comment section of the game itself! Very good work!

Really liked the mechanic of the explosion! Easy to pick up and understand

Hey a fellow bomb-themed game!!! I love the chill tunes with the super crunchy pixel resolution. The rewind saved me so many times too. Thank you for including that feature lol. These kinds of puzzle games are right up my alley - fantastic game!
