Enjoyable game with a great count down mechanic.

Submitted

Great execution! I love the sound effects and the game plays in very well with the theme.

Developer

Thank you! All feedback and comments make me happy!

Submitted

Simple but interesting and complete game! I can see many ways this game could develop after the jam without the time constraints. Congrats on the submission!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it

Submitted

Neat idea. I think some variation in the types of bombs would go a long way.

Developer

I had a lot in mind for variations for bombs but didn't get time :(

Thank you for spending your time on my small game!

Submitted

Simple, but really fun to play! Would love to see power ups like faster movement or something :D

Developer

Yeah I didn't have time for things like that because I am a student, and my math exam was coming... I did think about adding some variety and stuff but I just kept on polishing. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Fun concept (actually my game kinda follows the same idea in a different way)
The death screen (you cut the wrong wire) is kinda fun to see all the time with this scream sound on the back

Good job!

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it!

Submitted

I got to 490! Game ran smooth, and it was fun! I think it would be cool with some audio play, like the music gets louder / faster when bombs get close to exploding, and the screen shakes a little? idk, just to add more nerves lol. It did get pretty repetitive, but the scaling of the spawn rate was a good feature. Well done!

Developer

My highscore is 1400 smth. Your suggestion makes sense. Thank you!

Submitted

It was cute and a little nervewracking when bombs got close to blowing up. Would love to see the difficulty scale up. Did not expect the scream!

Developer

The difficulty does scale up! The bombs spawn quicker! Thanks for the feedback

Submitted

It got kind of repetitive but the movement and gameplay looked and felt fantastic! Well done!

Developer

Thank you! this was not meant to be very replayable since in a game jam people rarely replay games so I tried to make the 10-20 mins people spend on this game as hectic as possible

Submitted

I liked the concept but it is a little bit repetitive.


The game froze at one point right after cutting a wire, not sure why it happened.

Developer

Oh, I don't know what happened there!

I have never experienced this issue myself, I will look into it further...

Submitted

Fun little concept. I like the escalating difficulty. I’d love to see more different kind of bombs, which I think would add an additional dimension to the game.

Developer(+1)

I really wanted to add different kinds of bombs. One idea was a criminal with a goofy walk animation coming in and placing a bomb that has a smaller timer so it will grab your attention. But I focused on polish instead... Thank you for playing my game!

Submitted

game feels very polished! it would be nice if different bombs had different ways of being defused though, the wire cutting can get a bit repetitive over time. but considering you only had 4 days, this is a solid game!

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah I did think about having different types of bombs and also criminals coming in and placing bombs that explode quicker but I focused on polish instead. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

got reallly nervous playing this, nice art style too ! ive got the same idea of managing overwehlming things and you killed it !

Developer

Thank you! I will definitely try your game

Submitted

I like the way the guy moved around :)

Submitted

Fun little game, cute graphics too

Developer

Thank you I appreciate it!

Submitted

Loved the micro animations for players and the particle effects - it was a smooth gameplay exp

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I am glad that people appreciated the minimalist look!

Submitted

Pretty cool game! I like the simplistic look and how the player smoothly bounces with particles. It makes the game look really clean. Everything fits together well and the colour palette also fits well. The gameplay can get quite frantic and you have to choose whether to stop a bomb near you or to go across the map to one about to detonate. It reminds me of that one Bob-Omb sorting minigame from Super Mario 64 DS/New Super Mario Bros where more and more keep coming and you have to sort them all. Good game!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Every comment is appreciated!

Submitted

Cool game! Visuals and audio were great.
