Great job on your submission! I really liked the idea of the game and the creative way you adapted it to the jam theme. The concept is very interesting, and it fits the countdown mechanic in a really original way. Congrats on your work!

Very original idea. I like the idea of you chasing the enemies who are running away from you and the fact that you have to group them to make it. I had a lot of fun playing it, well done!

Developer

Thank you so much, glad you had fun playing it!

Submitted

I wasn't expecting them to shoot, but it makes sense, who wouldn't want to shoot a bomb running at them lol, it would have been more fun if shooting also exploded in their face too, but that would have made game easier xD.

I loved the concept and was executed brilliantly.

Very strong game, haven't seen a lot of games where YOU become the timer, but this one definitely nailed the concept! Enemy AI is coded fairly, but considering the short timeframe, very impressive. Quite difficult but exciting! This game likely can really do well if it is multiplayer and brought on to the switch (feels like a very good party game). Very well made. Great job :)

Developer

Thanks a lot, I am glad you enjoyed it! I haven't thought about making it a multiplayer, but seems a fair challenge after improving the balancing and stuff. Thanks again and good luck with your game!

The Idea is awesome but I think I am to bad for that game :D
For me the biggest obsticals were the enemy firing at me directly after they run away from me and the enemies sometimes got struck on wall / will not go the way I wanted.

For the first problem you could add a indicator (red laser or something) and a delay to the enemy attack. The second one is harder but maby the AI could favor running towards other AI. Because mostly that what I want as a player. Again just suggestions, maby I just suck at this game :D

Developer

Nope, you're not alone, turned out the difficulty needs more balancing, I am happy you enjoyed playing it though, thanks for the constructive feedback and good luck with your game!

Submitted

Good game! It would be pretty cool to see this into a full game! :D

Developer

Thanks, I am happy you'd like to see this into a full game)

Simple but fun. Difficult but in a good way. The level design is very tricky considering the mechanics but it managed to keep me playing until the end. Great work!

Developer

Hey, thanks a lot for playing and rating it, I am glad you played until the end!

a fun, pretty and quite hard game but i think thats just me XD i like the take of being the bomb rather than dealing with bombs. good job! (PS: we almost share the same game name haha)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing it, I am glad you enjoyed it. Yep, we share almost the same game name ;d

Submitted

Very creative and fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing it!

I like the take on countdown and bomb theme! Blowing up a lot of people at once is very satisfying and the levels are really good!

Developer

Thanks, your feedback means a lot!

Submitted

Tsat was really funny, great job! And ended so fast.. Waiting Full version, keep going

Developer

Thanks, I am happy you enjoyed it! I'll try to fix it and make it better next time.

Submitted

Really liked the way some levels can be solved in different ways. The game felt challenging and fun at the same time. Great Game.

Developer

Yes I really wanted players to have more than one ways to win, thanks a lot for playing and rating it!

Submitted

Very exciting game, but the explosion covers the player making it hard to dodge obstacles.

Developer

Thanks for playing the game!

Submitted

The hype of not being caught by enemies is great! Sometimes enemy shoot me in the range but I don't know as a bomb myself, if enemies shoot me I would explode hehe... The explosions are satisfying to watch and hear!

Very good game design and intuitive!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I am happy you enjoyed it
