Definitely not for the faint of heart. Very challenging (especially levels 13/19/20), but some nice production here. Bonus points for level editing!

Cool game. Graphics are nice and clean, and gameplay is fair and challenging.

Man, no Linux version

Woah, fun, challenging, stressful. Great atmosphere and polish.

The snappy sounds and polished pixels gratified me and the arrow typing in ten seconds interested me! If you continue to develop this, have you considered hinting at the keys to press in the first trial?

Simple, fun gameplay, appealing graphics and sound/music, and even a level editor - great entry overall, already feels quite complete but I'd love to see it developed further.

Runs in WINE! :D

Nice! I saw you stream this for a bit! really good outcome!

This is a cool take on "rhythm" games. You make your own rhythm. Finger patterns are fun :)

12 Bombs on my first go. That was well wicked. I really enjoyed getting into a button tapping zen.

I love this game, if you adopt the swipe touch controls you would be able to deploy to mobile devices too, i would love to play there :)

Really cool concept for bomb defusing! It was a rush to play, great work!

ripatti 2013-08-26 19:57

Good entry.
My record is 16 wires after 6-7 tries.
The 14th (or 13th?) is hardest one, I lose here almost always)

Small bug: no music repeat.

ossi 2013-08-27 04:41

That was really fun! Such a simple concept and controls and it starts to get really difficult when you introduce lots of wire slices and alternating gold nodes. Great job!

The good kind of stress right here! I like that it's difficult but not frustrating and also nicely polished.

kragnir 2013-08-27 23:44

It give a good sense of lack of time when you start failing. Like the game overall.

This game stressed me out so much I had to be taken to hospital. I was then diagnosed with an extreme mental disorder which I then had to undertake 3 years of mental rehabilitation in the end, diffusing a bomb reinstated my mentality. Thank you for this life changing experience.

Very solid entry!

fervir 2013-08-28 03:46

This game is great.
Got my adrenaline going.
Couldn't beat lv 19 though.

wertle 2013-08-28 03:53

Really good pacing and difficulty ramp-up, not just between levels but within each level. Good job!

thermite 2013-08-28 16:12

That. Was. Awesome. I love this game.

tamat 2013-08-31 13:40

Loved the mechanics! I was missing maybe a countdown sound in the last 3 seconds to make you get more nervous. Great work

moomoo112 2013-09-03 22:32

Amazing game, very well put together!

eelfroth 2013-09-16 21:54

That is some innovative and fun gameplay! Nice soundtrack, too.
