Well designed, really nice music and nice SFXs, the concept is simple but interesting just like the bomb man's adventure, the puzzles are nice but would be better if there is some harder levels, but still great game with smooth plays.

Amazing idea, I think puzzles need some work in the sense most of them rely on a silly 'gotcha' that if you look for at the start theyre easy to spot. Puzzles should have "aha" moments instead I think.
I really like the idea and execution however, really fun game, was able to escape, I did have to retry a couple levels a few times lol. Awesome work!

Thank you for the feedback and for giving the game a shot :)

Super simple and straightforward, but a classic fun puzzle game. A few of the early bomb-based levels felt like they played themselves (more than was needed to teach the bomb mechanic). I do like the octopus as the main character, and would love to see a version where the theme was expanded upon visually and narratively a little, as well as some more complex puzzles.

For how simple the mechanics are, the game is surprisingly fun.

Played through every level and enjoyed all of it!

Given the bomb mechanic is presented as the main element, I expected it to have a lot more depth. It showcases a rather static set of core ideas, failing to develop meaningfully and create interplay with other elements. For example, the idea of using standard crates to block explosions never gets explored in a setting where the answer isn't just handed to the player. Also, some puzzles don't even use bombs..? In my opinion, the only reason to exclude the main element is whilst introducing a secondary mechanic. But if the secondary mechanic doesn't synergize with the first, what's the point?

Additionally, I think many of the early/midgame puzzles exist purely as busywork/filler as they don't showcase anything interesting (ie. levels 10 and 11). I liked the last three levels though; each highlighted an interesting core idea. Perhaps they could've been presented in a simpler way, but that's just a matter of preference. Overall, the game's fine given the time restriction, but would definitely benefit from more thought-out puzzle design.

Fantastic concept! This was a very fun puzzle game to play. You should definitely keep working on it and add stuff such as animations and extra levels, it's got great structure so far.

Developer

Thank you for playing and thanks for the kind words! I plan on working on the game and learning more :)
