Very nice puzzle game. Good job!
Loved the gameplay! It got really tricky, though, so I couldn’t beat it (I stopped at “emerge”.) If I can have a hint I’ll keep playing though, I love simple puzzle games like this…
Emerge is one of the trickiest ones for sure -- the hint I'll give for that one is that there are no "duplicate" timers in the solution. There's a 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and a 5s. thanks for playing!
The combination of countdown and chain explosions is so fascinating!
very fun puzzle game! it involved a little more guesswork than i would like occasionally, maybe knowing how many spaces a bomb moves a second would help? regardless, i really enjoyed this one
Really like how simple to learn it is, but still fun.
Also the artstyle is pretty.
Fun game and very creative approach on the theme! Good job!
Love it! Great puzzles, fun drawings in the background
This is a really fun puzzle game! I enjoyed how there were multiple solutions to each puzzle. The mechanics were well polished. I think, instead of squares to indicate time ticks, I would prefer numbers or some other mechanism that don't overlap with neighboring bombs.
I got addicted to this game , do you plan on releasing more levels ? for a game made in 4 days it's so good with a ton of cool mechanics! the art style and the music is good too <3 the only thing that i didn't understand is that sometimes the bombs with no timer explode and that when bombs are close together it's hard to see their timers . otherwise you did a very good jog congratulations ^^
Thank you! I would definitely like to add maybe ~10 more levels or so, I feel like I only really started to get the hang of the possible puzzles by the last day of the jam (plus I was still working on the coding for some mechanics)
There's a known bug where sometimes a bomb timer that's set and then removed (back down to 0s) will detonate at 0s, but refreshing the scene should get rid of that. Agreed on the seeing timers on crowded bombs, I wasn't sure how best to tackle that
Maybe you could use directly small numbers on top if the bomb or use one square that changes colors like it goes from green to red or something like that(but this could be complicated for color blind people). Or you could just make the squares smaller so they don't collide in eachother
Great puzzle game! I loved the sprites and animations!
that is genius to make the game be arround the fact that you have to set the count down.
very cleaver puzzle, elegant!
Very fun and clever game with amazing art! Good job!
Really enjoyed yours as well!
Extremely clever concept, great puzzles, and great visuals.
Breaking my brain with these puzzles!
All thanks to our amazing playtesters
Holy moly, what an interesting game! Deceptively simple, and very creative use of 'countdown'! Also nice physics!
It's a really good game I have loved playing the levels. It is well polished good job!
Thank you! I really enjoyed yours as well
Actually a really good puzzle game! The controls a really basic so I thought it would be pretty simple, but they were really interesting sliding puzzles
