How does your game fit the theme?
When it comes to countdowns, nothing tends to inspire fear in thriller films & TV more than the ones on bombs. Only in this game it's a large novelty fuse counting down in length and you're vainly trying to blow it out..

Fun idea for a jam project, felt polished as well. It would be cool if the music had two layers that would switch instead of the track going silent, but this implementaion did add to the experience of anxious struggle. The decision to utilize the B button felt a bit odd though, for a moment I thought the game was asking me to use an xbox controller))
Love the audio and sfx. This game is so intense I feel like I am out of breath myself.
Such a well executed take on the theme that feels like it was tuned to perfection as an experience. It works so well, I could see this working as a mobile game exactly as is.
Insanely stressful oh my god.
Really enjoyable, so simple and easy to get into, perfect for a jam !
Fantastic audio and artwork. Interesting interpretation of the theme.
Music is perfect and really adds to the panic when trying to blow out the fuse. The mercy system of the goal area expanding is also a very nice touch!
Feels like it came out of an old flash game you'd play in school. Fantastic work
Simple and nicely done! I really like the concept and how smooth the overall gameplay is :)
great sound design and a very cool atmosphere
bob is a handsome fellow
This is insane. Perfect example that less is more.
I’ve been playing and rating several games, I usually go for people with less ratings, but this one got so many that I was curious to try it out and oh boy, I see why this is catchy.
You nailed every aspect of it. I’ve played beautiful games, creative games, catchy and enjoyable games, games with great SFX and music, but it’s hard to find a game that does all of that beautifully while also maintaining simplicity and having personality.
Until I reached this one. Its simple, doesn’t need a tutorial, its pretty from de intro to the end, has great music, sfx, tackled the theme with humour and charm.
Congratulations.
vote on my game!
super good mechanic, great lil' jam game! one of the few i want to play again when it's done
Visual style is sick, very nice job!
After four tries I got 128.91. Getting many "Great!"s in a row feels very satisfying. There should be a "Great!" streak in the game to make it even more satisfying!
Great game, congrats!
Fun game! Simple yet incredibly smart
Very funny game!
Simple yet fun
One of the most simple, yet effective idea for the theme. Really great stuff.
The game reminded me of those mario party minigames xD Andthe feeling is nice when playing so congrats !
