I like puzzle games and this one really hit the spot. I like your simple mechanic feating perfectly with the theme. Level design, audio and presentation work fine too, I really enjoyed playing. Thank you for your game !
Pretty clever little puzzle game with plenty of levels! Simple, but I enjoyed it.
I love how many different levels you made within such a small map, very nicely done! I would suggest a couple of tutorials to further explain each component of the game and what they do for max clarity for new players :)
A good use of theme. Highly polished, and so many good levels with a pretty good learing curve, no toturial needed either. Great job!!
Thank you! I also plan to add more levels after game jam ends.
Lots of levels for a game jam game! I got to 20 and gave up (I'm not sure I fully understand the yellow countdown logic)
Well designed levels and mechanics. I had a good time! Congrats!
Thank you so much for liking my game and playing it through the later levels.
The yellow square indicates that it has been used by two bombs, so the countdown will run twice.
I will add more levels to explain it more clearly after game jam end.
This is what I thought, but when the are sharing it in the 10s place rather than the 1s place, it seemed like it was going down by 11 at a time rather than 20, which surprised me. But maybe I misremember how things were arranged.
Oh it is actually a intended design. The game decrease the number by the view of the bombs.
Consider the following situations:
▫️💣
💣2️⃣0️⃣
For the 💣 on the top, it only see one digit,
💣
2️⃣
so it decrease that digit by one
💣
1️⃣
And then we handle the bomb on the left.
💣1️⃣0️⃣
become
💣0️⃣9️⃣
The final result will be
▫️💣
💣0️⃣9️⃣
I think the confusion is caused by the orders of game evaluation bombs.
To avoid frustrating players, the game always evaluate bombs in orders that advantageous to the player.
Consider the following situations:
▫️▫️💣
💣1️⃣0️⃣
If we handle the top bomb first. It only see zero, it will be game over.
So we start from left bomb instead.
For the left bomb
💣1️⃣0️⃣
become
💣0️⃣9️⃣
Then for top bomb
💣
9️⃣
become
💣
8️⃣
The final result:
▫️▫️💣
💣0️⃣8️⃣
I think I should come up with more levels to explain this concept after game jam end.
Gotcha, thanks for the explanation! It wasn't clicking for me that each bomb looks at the numbers independently based on the direction, but now it makes sense
A very polished puzzle game congrats! Some levels were simpler and felt like could be earlier in the game but the game does a very well job in introducing its mechanics!
I'm glad you like it. I plan to adjust the level order and difficulty after the game jam ends.
Did you use ai for this? Looks familiar.
I am a web developer and I use vscode copilot to help dev this game.
It may suggestions style for some UI elements and layout likes buttons so it may look like some website.
I independently devised the interaction mechanism for each object and designed every levels.
There is NO Generative AI involved in this game jam.
Amazing idea for a game, I really enjoyed it
That's a really creative idea! Let's trade ratings if you have time!
Thanks, I also ratings your game.
I get only to level 19
Sorry, the difficulty of the puzzles has not yet been balanced.
If you get stuck on a puzzle, you can click the "skip" button on the game over screen to try next puzzle.
Really nice and well made puzzle game. Had much fun playing it. SFX are great too. Nice work :)
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it!
Loved this puzzles! Really well done!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
