Your art is freakin awesome! I really love the look and feel. The game was simple and effective... Sturdy work. :)

Neat puzzle game. I like the artwork. Good job and nice use of the theme!

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 13:34

pretty cool! relaly like the menu art! the gameplay relaly confused me i found myself clicking everything, trial and error style! I agree with arch, nice use of the them!

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 13:35

Love the artwork! It was really confusing at first, even with the instructions. Otherwise an amazing job for a short time.

Nice graphics ! good work ! :)

Great art work. Found my self shaking too much to cut the wire , which I guess is the point. Found it hare to work out what to do to begin with.

Very nice puzzle-game but a tutorial could be very useful. And I don't think it's useful to hide the blocks because the difficulty is already high due to the ten-seconds timer.

bitserum 2013-08-27 13:43

It was buggy, loading 2 levels at the same time and loading wrong levels after finish.
But art and idea is awesome. Neat game.

Wow. Really nice looking game. And the game itself is solid. Nice work. Add some music! I have no idea how to beat level 5.
Bug: I clicked on the Blocks Legend and brought up the goal of the game dialogue while the You Lose Dialogue was up and the bomb disappeared for good.

I am not sure how it works but I guess we cannot add tutorial post competition? We are definitely adding a good tutorial! This is something we really wanted but we struggled with all kind of little game glitches during the jam. After judging we will add updated version link to be fair.

Best bomb disposal game yet

ritzblues783 2013-08-28 16:02

I like the artistic style and the puzzle game concept. Unfortunately, even with the key and the tooltip, I could not figure out the mechanics. If this game had a gradual implementation of mechanics, it could be great.

nerlin 2013-08-28 19:26

Wow! Cool game!

kibertoad 2013-08-28 19:27

a bit too punishing. had some trouble finding how it works. also it looks like you could do a lot more in the art department. otherwise - neat puzzle.

mesene 2013-08-28 19:28

Nice entry, it gets a high mood :)

oajfh 2013-08-28 19:29

Hmm... Cutting wires at random did work for me for the most part...

krasse 2013-08-28 19:30

Nice artwork!
Was a bit much to read at start. Would be better to structure like a tutorial where object types are unlocked after a while.
Good idea overall.

zelen3d 2013-08-28 19:34

To be fair, I didn't understand half of what I did. The level loading system is a buggy, when you try to load some level.

fgielow 2013-08-28 21:07

Great Art, think the game play was confusing to learn by my self. But well done for a jam =)

deepnight 2013-08-28 21:13

Super title screen :)
The game it self lacks feedbacks that would allow to understand what it's actually going on. The triggers were really hard to understand in level 5 for example.
Interesting game idea however! The fact I couldn't stop playing until I eventually beat the game is a good point ;)

deepnight 2013-08-28 21:14

Edit: I can't load the level 7, nothing happens, the board is empty.

zammy 2013-08-28 21:31

Sorry deepnight, there are no other levels after the 6th one. We couldn't make more in time. I'm not sure if we're allowed to fix the game by removing the false links of levels 7-10?

orni 2013-08-28 21:56

great game - took me a while to get used to it though

the game mechanics are clearly well designed and I certainly wish this game would have some nice music

very well done, I enjoyed it

mventurelli 2013-08-29 17:53

The idea is good, but ended up being too much trial-and-error for me. Love your "cover" art, would love to see that robot in the gameplay!

sengi 2013-08-29 17:57

Cool realisation of the game and nice difficult

gre 2013-08-29 21:26

I have some difficulties to understand all the mecanisms but the idea is very original and I was still able to pass some levels.

justi 2013-08-30 10:21

Good logic game, nice graphics and sound effects.

xndr 2013-08-30 10:23

Nice idea! Addictive.

crossbread 2013-08-31 08:59

I think 2 UI improvements would help. One, reveal the node/component on mouse over instead of requiring a click. The click feels cumbersome, but I like that you have to try and mentally keep track of the parts of the bomb circuit.

Two, increase the collision area on the wires. Maybe an icon in the middle, or just a 2-3 pixel transparent border. It's easy to start feeling like you're fighting the controls/mouse instead of playing an intriguing puzzle game.

Great graphics, look-and-feel, etc. Some music would help to set the mood more.

triplevisiongames 2013-08-31 10:04

Love the drawing and I like the idea. Found it a bit too easy to begin with (once I'd worked out what to do) but it soon gets to being a nice challenge.

withoutpillow 2013-08-31 10:07

a managed to beat all the available stages. you used the theme very well , would like to play the other stages as well if you make them. good clean graphics and engaging gameplay.

ratalaika 2013-08-31 12:17

good job

thermite 2013-08-31 14:57

Very tidy game, always enjoy a good puzzle game.

cornedor 2013-08-31 16:49

The art is really nice. took some time to understand what I had to do.

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-31 18:47

AMAZING art. I felt I needed a little more visual explanation of each component, it was a little too abstract for me at first.

But very very solid puzzles and amazing polish, kudos!
