Nice work on the graphics!

Gameplayis a bit confusing though. What's supposed to happen?

brethudson 2013-08-27 06:45

Love it! Definitely one of my favorites so far. :D

nerlin 2013-08-27 08:00

Great graphics and gameplay! Also I like this music.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tatata!

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 12:05

hey matthias, at the moment the idea is that you have 10 seconds until you explode and you must stop the bombs =]

With a simple "how long can you last" later in dev i aim to have mission objectives and such but for the jam i was just focussing on the ten second counter mechanic! =] Glad you liked the graphics dude!

Great game!

kristinnes 2013-08-27 12:09

4:25 :) Good game.

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 12:11

wow Kristinn i just got 2.30, i relaly need a HS table but i have no idea how to implement one ;) TO GOOGLE! although i can add one now, i will do after judging ^_^

atridas 2013-08-27 12:35

Really cool game!

kimidori 2013-08-27 12:36

good game, but if you really want it addictive, you should add a high score system and let players compete with others.

gre 2013-08-27 12:36

Interesting game. Good graphics & gameplay.
Music could have been a bit less repetitive.

yokcos700 2013-08-27 12:46

I did encounter a bug wherein one of the time-giving pod-things became stuck in the ground, in such a way that I couldn't collect it.

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 12:50

cheers for the comments guys, and hmm, I havent encountered that bug unfortuantely =[

Also i added the timer/score just under the core 10 second countdown so people could post their scores, i mentioned in a comment on here that im not familiar with sql and databases over the net for highscore tables but id be very interested in talking to someone who is familiar, as it is the current plan to get global highscores working

i noticed one fo the jammers had that setup in like 3 hours with gameplay!

larzan 2013-08-27 13:21

Nice one, like the idea.

dkilford 2013-08-27 13:37

Overall I really liked the game. The controls were fluid, the art looked pretty good, though it was very busy which made it hard to spot key things out at times. It would have been nice to be able to see the whole grid at once, which would have made the random aspect less punishing.

The music got pretty repetitive after a while too, having it less busy or have more variation so it doesn't sound like the same 12 seconds endlessly would help.

Overall though very good!

minionstudios 2013-08-27 13:52

Simple and fun! love those graphics!

lidfrid 2013-08-27 14:26

i agree with the score system will make it truly addictive.

cwkx 2013-08-27 15:26

Tough making a decent 3D game in such a short amount of time, really good job!

torvik88 2013-08-27 16:16

Nice concept and execution, good game man.

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 20:46

I REPRODUCED THE BUG! somehow :P

andrew-2 2013-08-27 22:39

I expected bomb defusal games, but I didn't expect them to be so much fun. Or to have dynamic mazes. Good job.

ianmartin 2013-08-28 04:33

Very nice presentation! Couldn't figure out what to do at first. Looks like the bombs are way above the car/ship picking them up.

ailin 2013-08-28 09:28

Good overall job.
Some suggestions :
- The audio track is really repetitive (not in a good way) and tend to be annoying. If you choose to put a music as background, it have to be longer.

- I think you could have used a different mesh for the "stuff" you have to pickup (what's it supposed to be ?). As a player you don't really know if you are supposed to pick it up or if it's a bomb or something else.

diptoman 2013-08-28 09:50

It's more often than not hard to distinguish stuff on screen. But overall, very nice!

rennfarnell 2013-08-28 10:17

thanks for the feedback guys i also had the same comments from people playtesting it at home during the dev! about the play area being readable and wtf is the bomb! It was made in the last 20minutes of the jam, it was meant to be a bomb anyway :P deffinately all needs some tlc =]

yoni 2013-08-28 11:29

Awesome graphics! Fun and challenging.

farfromsleep 2013-08-28 15:01

Great job on the graphics with this one, really slick looking game.

ddionisio 2013-08-28 18:00

Wow, graphics is really good! Very rare to see 3d games with good texturing and modelling for LD, because they are pretty hard to do! Mad props to that! I'm also digging the music!

The controls are smooth. But I feel like the ship is suppose to crash to walls though, but then again there's hardly any room to maneuver :P

optimus6128 2013-08-29 20:28

Great graphics and it's quite nicely playable.

jujule 2013-08-29 20:30

Simple concept and solid gameplay. Fits the theme well. And nice graphics. I like it !

anserran 2013-08-29 20:30

Smooth controls and great graphics. I've kept playing until the walls started to go down (then I die). Is there an end or you keep going forever?

devmax 2013-08-29 20:35

Nice little game, few things:
Good: Overall nice execution, good controls.
Bad: Heavy usage of same tiled textures make hard to see anything. Limited camera view doesn't help as well. The orange thingy which you need to catch could be more noticeable.

imef 2013-08-29 20:59

I love the ideq of a dynamically built maze!

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-30 16:52

Simple fun game, with nice graphics and sounds! I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 video compilation, if you'd like to check it out :), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GZNeIKxvyg
