The clear feedback made me feel aware. If you continue to develop this, have you considered how to vary the mechanism of checking the state?

bugninja 2013-08-26 03:09

Not really. I have more planned on creating other variations of defusing the device in the game. Like unplugging leads in certain orders, etc.

I've seen multiple variations of this game being submitted already, the main reason I tried yours was because the graphics looked really good. The wire checking portion is neat. Problem is 10 seconds is way too short for this kind of thing. :/

Simple yet fun and addicting. Good game :D

I am definitely not switching ma job to bomb technician! Feels good, graphics & music fit well together. A bit too much luck for my taste.

Getting 0 correct is equivalent to a boom, so there is a 1/16 chance of breaking your score combo.
10 seconds really put me on the challenge, however, once mastered, I think it's going to be boring.
The game is actually good in terms of graphics and music.

Hehe liked it :D. Cool idea, good art, nicely done. Though to easy

bugninja 2013-08-26 15:52

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!!!

This is nicely polished, good job! Would've been a lot more fun with multiple levels.

I liked it, but the algorithm for solving the puzzle is too easy and the fact that you can just randomly lose through no fault of your own is frustrating.

bugninja 2013-08-26 18:03

@optimality :) Unfortunately, what frustrates you is the core of the game. Yes, it's technically easy to solve the little puzzles, but the luck factor is supposed to play into the "defuse the bomb" scenario. Which wire do you pull first? What if you're wrong? How long can you survive defusing bombs before your luck runs out?

Maybe I should add that to the description so people know that it's coming, they know that their luck is going to run out. Thanks for the feedback, I'll change the description a bit.

Very Nice. Simple yet entertaining :)

I love the art, but the gameplay is not clear for me. Didn't manage to disarm it.

tigerj 2013-08-27 04:19

It really reminds me of inverted mastermind.

You could really extend this after the comp by ramping the difficulty with more components to experiment with.

nice game! I also like the art and boom effect.

Nice fast bomb difusing gameplay. Good implementation of the instructions as a note as a background element, and nice idea with the check button.

voidstar69 2013-08-27 14:35

Interesting idea

triplevisiongames 2013-08-27 18:13

Brilliant. Great presentation and feels suitably tense. Literally managed it once with 1 on the clock! Good idea for the puzzle too.

lukbebalduke 2013-08-27 20:54

Good game ! Very fun

kragnir 2013-08-29 02:58

Interesting game but you too quickly reach the level where you either die on the first move or win every time. Something need to be added to give the game more depth.

sanojian 2013-08-31 11:26

Nicely put together but a little bit too easy.

kirbytails7 2013-09-08 06:53

Quick and fun.

Great looking game, fun to play, nice mix of difficulty and doableness.
