How does your game fit the theme?
The main mechanic of the game is to throw bombs out a window before their COUNTDOWNS go off and you explode

I don't think I made Sir Bombsalot very proud
This is a treat. A bite sized arcade game with a fun little style. As soon as the bombs dropped I figured out what I needed to do. I wish the bombs had a bigger screen for explosion timing. I kept trying to read it and it was just a little too teeny tiny. I went back and tried one of the game modes, incredible additions. Congrats on the submission :)
Good classic idea and I had fun, although just having a center indicator would've made the game a bit more enjoyable. Good job either way!
Hello Squedo. That is actually crazy that I didn't even realize the game didn't have a crosshair. Went right over my head! Thanks for playing and leaving the comment!
The controls were a little fidly where it wouldn't feel like the bomb would be picked up, but the different game modes were a fun little twist. My High score was 6 on the normal mode. There is some potential there if the controls get worked out
Hello Darkria_defender! Thanks for playing my game. The controls seem to be an issue for others too so that is definitely something I will focus highly on in my next game jam.
Idk if I'm doing smth wrong but my mouse is going offscreen and I lose the control of my character. Maybe if you enable fullscreen in the itch settings, that will fix it. Nice tho, not many jam games offer multiple game modes.
I wonder if Sir Bomsalot is related to the Bomberful CEO... 👀
Hi Dark Peace! Yeah so with Unity games, you have to click in the window and then it won't move your cursor off screen. I have seen in other games that somehow check for this and pause the game. I will be looking into that feature for my future game jam games. I am learning!
Also, I will check out your game once I am done replying to comments :)
Cool concept, i did not get use to the picking up controls. But i like the idea!
Thanks for playing! That was one big lesson I learned this game jam around is you need a tutorial. Whether that be a direct or indirect one, they are needed or people will quit early. I appreciate you taking the time to play anyways!
Loved the bombs!
I loved your bombs too! Thanks for playing and for making one of my favorite fishing games!
Cool, I got to wave 11 in normal mode.
I appreciate you playing my game. I can't wait to see what new games you come out with. Yours was such a blast!
Sir Bombsalot is only a year older than me. He cut such a captivating figure that I blew up while staring at him, repeatedly, until I figured out what was going on. Haha! I really like the option of game modifiers. It makes the gameplay experience fun!
Thank you for the amazing comment and the appreciation of Sir Bombsalot. He is gone but he will be remembered!
