Baka Emily! Why'd you have to go crazy. I preferred you when you were tsundere :'(

sol_hsa 2013-08-26 07:01

Well that.. was.. um. different. =)

Although the bomb idea is certainly not the only one in this LD, the execution is singular. Where elsewhere you have to cut or unplug wires, you just need to hit the target. And yet the sense of urgency is enormous, because you cannot control the speed or direction. Addictive!

The hidden bombs are unfair, though, with no way of knowing if there are any and pressing space on empty spots deducting lives.

Played Twice, Good Ending did not show for me. Maybe because i died on purpose at te beginning of the second play. Fun game and crazy ending. I recommend at least finishing once!

tacospice 2013-08-26 08:11

Pretty sweet! Made it to level with score 18075 ~_~ Music didn't really feel like it fit though.

loolpolo 2013-08-26 08:17

Yeah.. that was crazy... but fun! it reminded me of GLaDOS from portal. the ending is a bit confusing but it is a great game!

andrewves 2013-08-26 08:21

Great concept, i found the gameplay to be fun but the visuals could be improved.

badgerpriest 2013-08-26 11:16

Well, certainly not what I was expecting. Very, very interesting.

lcarpentier 2013-08-26 11:33

Interesting. I would have set the difficulty curve a bit higher maybe, I played for two minutes before I encountered a real challenge. I like it.

nikneym 2013-08-26 11:34

Funny tnts. Good game.

Spotline 2013-08-26 11:35

The dialogs are fun :D but i find the gameplay a bit dull

sirtetris 2013-08-26 11:37

Oh it's over but the timer is still running ... hehe ... oh ... OH ... WAT? Really awesome towards the end. :D

motty 2013-08-26 11:40

Brilliant. Loved it. Thank you.

Good game, but the lack of any background really killed it for me. Anything would have been better than plain white.

Great plot development and quirky writing.

sebastian 2013-08-26 11:45

Nice! I wish the text cycled a bit faster though.

ratalaika 2013-08-26 13:01

I like it. Nice work :)

kaldrick 2013-08-26 13:14

I've got a significant GlaDOS vibe from it ;) Sadly, I wasn't able to finish the game - when the 'i dont want to die' message started appearing, my lifes went down to 0 :(

thejackimonster 2013-08-26 15:21

Cool game... Nicely done! :)

flamecow 2013-08-26 18:03

Very simple, but amusing. I like it!

zedutchgandalf 2013-08-26 19:17

Great job! :D
The core game mechanic is pretty simple but watching the story unfold is just amazing :)

gikdew 2013-08-26 19:37

the game mechanics are really good, that game seems like a physics lesson!

larzan 2013-08-26 20:41

Interesting, nice music, no real theme connection though...

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 00:43

Its an interesting game, it took me a moment to understand what was really going on, but I included it in my compilation video of LD27 games, if you wanna check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxp6zWGaGM

timkaidem 2013-08-27 03:55

Love how game going mad. And melody is kinda very nice :)

unept 2013-08-27 05:15

AWESOME. I love the personality that continued to grow more vibrant and desperate. And the gameplay continued to become more frantic. Very fun, and great ending.

crazi456 2013-08-27 08:18

Dialogue was nice! Cool game!

infernet89 2013-08-27 10:03

Really original entry! I loved the humour of "Emily".
On thing i can say, the shift powerup isn't really a powerup.. Since is not time limited, i found myselft playing the rest of the game with the shift key pressed.

diogomuller 2013-08-27 10:57

Great way to turn a simple game into something unique and memorable. :)

mrx 2013-08-27 13:17

Simple idea well done. I think it's lacking some feedback when you miss a bomb, and when bombs count all the way down to 0 there should be some visual feedback like camera shake or explosions or anything really. Good job!

krides 2013-08-27 18:16

She's almost as patronizing as Glados :P

kidanger 2013-08-27 18:36

Very nice! Those texts are well timed and humoristic.
I had a lot of fun!

xgor 2013-08-27 22:00

Links doesn't work for me :(

ydg 2013-08-27 22:29

It seems my hosting is down right now. I just changed the links, although it doesn't seem like it works well on Firefox. In Chrome seems to work fine.
As soon as my hosting comes back I'll change them again.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

dancingflame 2013-08-28 03:31

I loved your concept and music. Nice work :)

nerlin 2013-08-28 21:07

Great simple game. Good job!

zlowrance 2013-08-28 22:13

pretty addicting gameplay but it was a bit easy. Good job overall :D Sunk about 30 mins in to lol

matthewvermaak 2013-08-29 07:38

Well done. Simple but fun gameplay with a great attitude :0)

finnegan2100 2013-08-31 06:10

Yay, a game I'm actually pretty good at :D Fun! The music was killer - I really liked it!

almax27 2013-09-07 16:10

That was awesome. Really didn't expect that at all!

Really simple but great humour and really quite addictive.

'Mazing job. :D
