Very polished and incredibly fun to play! Great work for 4 days
Really nice puzzle game here. Simple but pleasant art and a very nice backing track. Either a level select or skip feature would be nice, as I got stuck on a level (I think Chap. 3 Level 7?) and couldn't see the rest of the game.
Really fun game!
Absolutely had a blast on stream playing this fun and challenging puzzle. Exactly my kind of style and testing my sequence skills, the theme is well executed and I feel smart playing it. My suggestion for improvement is highlighting the mouse hover location of the bombs on the grid and choosing a fun font that fits the style
Personal top 10 favorite this one. Well done
Very cool little puzzler! Looks polished enough that you could publish this on a storefront. Fantastic work!
A fantastic little puzzle game! Thoroughly enjoyed it, well done to the team!
Hello! I really enjoyed this game, my favorite part is how the moves you can do are pretty limited, so you don't have to think in advance too much, and you can just focus on the position of every explosion.
The puzzle design in particular is incredible, there was one in particolar which took me a lot of time and I enjoyed a lot solving it. Though it was in between easy levels, so I would've put it later into the levels.
Ans the artstyle overall gives the perfect vibes for a puzzle level. Vaguely reminds me of Portal maybe?
Here's the VOD (Game is at 1:35:00)
What a gem. The graphics are simple but well put together, the levels pace perfectly to teach you all the mechanics and the puzzles themselves are cool chain iterating stuff so they are bound to be satisfying but the puzzle design elevates that aspect as well. Definitely one of my favorite entries this jam and it having so little ratings is criminal

This is the best puzzel game I have ever seen in GMTK 2026! The level design, creativity, all of these are wonderful. Still, I think the final stage might be too easy that stage 2 level 6 is harder than any level in final stage.
Great puzzle game. The introduction levels were good, it was easy to understand what each puzzle element does. chapter 3 level 8 was getting pretty tricky, but then level 9 was mostly confusing, because I only needed that one antibomb to solve it. The final chapter was pretty obvious again, and for some reason, when I pressed exit, the game crashed.
There were so many mechanics, and it was so polished, unbelievable that it was made in just 4 days. I had a lot of fun,
Thank you! Yeah it wasn't intentional for ch3lvl9 to be solvable that way, and also it should really go before lvl8. And ch4 could definitely be a bit more challenging.
The crash seems weird, were you playing on Windows?
yeah, on windows. Was the game made with unity, because unity games have been behaving weird on my computer lately.
Nopes, this one is Godot.
This was a really nice puzzle game! You genuinely made great use of the theme, and it felt like a fully complete game. The mechanics, levels, everything was satisfying! Loved it
head scratcher so scratchy I scratched a hole in my head
Truly awesome puzzle game, I played this on my stream (OfficialChaser8) if you remember, and I just went back right now and played through the rest of it! Very glad to say I was able to beat all of the levels :) I really enjoyed the antibomb and floating platform mechanics, they added a lot of depth. Difficulty scaling wise, there's still probably some work you guys can do moving forward. Firstly, chapter 3 is significantly harder than chapter 4 imo. Also I don't know if I'm remembering level numbers perfectly, but I think ch3 lvl 8 should come after ch3 lvl 9, b/c lvl 9 teaches a helpful mechanic that would've been nice to visualize going into lvl 8. I think it was ch3 lvl 8 that took the longest for me to solve, too.
Glad you enjoyed it! And you're totally right about the level order, should be the other way around.
Peak gameplay, incredible animations and the most creative use of the theme I’ve seen in this jam so far!
Genuinely criminal this has so few ratings. Great job, would love to see this become a full game!
High quality puzzle game, I liked the introduction of new mechanics and can imagine level design is a pain! Good work!
I really hope this wins, some of the best game design ive ever seen on itch. The level design, the polish, the puzzles. Amazing
Really good! I made it to Ch3/Lv8
Impressive array of puzzles with a clean presentation! I played all the way through and enjoyed my time.
