Flawless execution. Game is fun the whole way through, levels are well balanced and difficulty scaling is great, very charming and flavorful text that functions perfectly with the game's graphics and general tone.
Can't leave a review without mentioning that the thumbnail is chef's kiss.
Also, my best wishes to Mr.(?) McBombface. If this was training, I don't think he's living a very long life.
This game is amazing! I had a lot of fan playing it! Everything is very good and well polished. Great Job! I hope this game shows up in the favorites :D
Felt like a far more approachable version of "Getting Over It!". Excellent introduction, and wow, you even animated the character's speech. I love the fact that the character looks at the hand; it really gives it life, and the controls are very easy to pick up. Great game!
You really nailed the controls and physics of the game. Very fun!
I think this is one of the gems of the jam. Precise and challenging gameplay, fun story bits, nice sound design and music, graphically pristine. You're game is soo polished ! I encountered no bugs, everything works. Yeah, clearly the game I had the most fun with.
I blew up soo many times 😭. Still such a fun and polished game and the levels were fairly difficult
This reminded me of some Nitrome games like Snot Put and Feed Me. Loved the art style, and the mechanic is great and fun. The game gets pretty difficult pretty quickly, in more challenging levels, like the one where you leave the bomb on the button and have to go down a spikes session with almost no floor to grab was darn difficult. This is a great game, congrats!
the name instanly grabbed my attention, pun intended!
but yeah this was amazing! simply but fantastic idea, great puzzle game. epic cover art, this is something to keep working on post jam!
extremely fun & polished experience! the levels get fairly difficult but with how fun it was to keep at it, i couldn't give up! great implementation of the countdown mechanic with literal time bombs
the movement mechanic is both easy to learn and tricky to master, i could see someone spending a lot of time perfecting them and speed-running through the levels in no time flat.
i had a blast playing through it! 💣
One of the best puzzle games I've played not on this jam, but EVER. It is. For sure. The controls seemed a bit funky for the start, but I dig that they're made like that on purpose. A little bit of polish - and that's a Newgrounds game! Other than gameplay I gained lots of joy looking at the color palette and I thought it reminds me of something and then it struck me like lightning that it's good ol' Mr. Karoshi that I used to play in early '10s back in the days. Ahh, such joyful period of time...
Ladies and gentlemen, this game is IT!
That's high praise for sure, thank you!
Pretty nice game, I like all the different mechanics, and I found some of the dialogues quite funny. Well done!
I like this game a lot! The movement felt super good and the unique movement worked very well. One piece of feedback I have is that the camera moving with the character sometimes made it hard to grab points in the wall in certain levels; I personally would have preferred a static camera that completely showed every level. But maybe that's how the game is supposed to be, and I just need to get gud. Either way, nice game! Very polished.
Also goated cover art
Thanks for the feedback! That's a good point about the camera, it could be worth letting the player control the zoom level to limit how disruptive the camera motion is. Glad you enjoyed!
I love the idea, art and presentation. The only thing was that throwing the bomb was a total crap-shoot for me. I think I did the same as the last time but limp wristedly throw it into the floor next to me.
Thanks for playing! Yeah in hindsight, the bomb-throwing is a quite strict. The launch velocity is based on the delta position from the previous frame only, so if you reach max arm length and release one frame later then it immediately goes to zero.
This game nails it in so many departments. The feel of the character is perfect, there isn't a single parameter I'd tweak differently. The game gets hard but it's never unfair (level 18 is hell), its super engaging, the artstyle and sound design fit very nice and its super polished. This might be the game I spent the most time playing out of the ones I've seen. Also reminds me a bit of old nitrome games (which I'm very fond of). Tony gives you his highest praises
I absolutely loved Nitrome as a kid, I can see the influence now that you mention it haha. Thanks for the kind words, Tony!
I love Mr.Mcbombface. super cute game and puzzle platformer
Keep it up!
Excellent game, loved the writing and felt very pleased with myself for discovering some of the mechanics earlier than you're supposed to. Also liked that you spent time on making tutorial levels for getting to grips with the movement, as a lot of games I've reviewed just throw you straight in with a ticking countdown.
This one's a winner! Very creative in all aspects and really funny concept!
I really liked the mechanics! Well done!
Quite fun! The polish was great and I LOVED the tutorial guy. I struggled with throwing the bombs though--I felt some delay. Still tho, great job
