Couldn't get it to run.

Really nice graphics and mood. Although your rabbit exlpoding was progress, since the next time the landmine wasnt there anymore, it always felt like loosing...every single time.

dig the art, didn't really feel like I had any control over what happened though - I might as well have flipped a coin 10 times and watched a rabbit explode each time it came up tails.

This is why having a team is great! Only negative is that the gameplay is mostly trial and error.
+6 for rabbit anus.

The file is a bit too big, the gameplay is a little too slow, but big up for the art, it is really awesome !

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 18:54

Nice concept !
This is a great work !
And really cool graphics !

Loved the art work. Slightly traumatizing as well.

gigitrix 2014-04-29 23:09

This game was beautiful, and then it wasn't :'(

Fantastic sound and art design, I really love it's theme in general!

I chose to sacrifice bunnies for the greater good instead of carefully plotting the minefield. My strategy was just to jump towards the goal if I dug a red spot and take my chances. It's a humorous skin on a slightly more simplistic Minesweeper, and the artwork was very good.

What a beautiful game. The lost bunnies will be remembered.

sudorossy 2014-04-30 23:14

I get the feeling of Minesweeper meets Watership down

rogberth 2014-04-30 23:17

Strange game, not very playable, but really interesting graphics and story.

mjrevel 2014-04-30 23:21

Enjoyed the game. Took me about 3 times blowing up to figure out that digging would reveal a mine, AHHHH!!!

vexille 2014-04-30 23:26

The rabbits move too slow! When you die you already have to wait a long time to regain control, and when you do you'll probably take a long time to get back to where you were.

Other than that, really cool idea! Super gorgeous graphics too, top notch!

torcado194 2014-05-01 00:51

wow the graphics are pretty fantastic! i especially loved the animation on the title scree. and yeah like other's said, its pretty much just a trial and error game. except you dont learn from your mistakes since bombs dont reset. nice job though!

vilya 2014-05-01 00:52

Beautiful! The bunny animation was excellent. It was a great way to interpret the theme, too. Very impressed.

mtrc 2014-05-01 00:54

So beautiful.

Man I wish I could model rabbits like this. Amazing graphics, the 3D and the draw, and the concept of the game it's pretty unseen nowadays. Great job.

hybridmind 2014-05-01 01:18

I managed to finish with 8 losses. It was always scary when you had a bunny explode, but it looked really cool when that happened too though! Great art and sound work. Because there was no real penalty for digging as much as you want or losing a bunny here and there, it wasn't super challenging. I dig like the tension of hopping around wondering if my bunny was about to explode or not. Yikes!

lpghatguy 2014-05-01 03:15

Great job, once I realized what each color meant and that I could actually long jump over the spaces with two mines by them I had a ton of fun. Great graphics. The first time my bunny exploded made me laugh.

munkeebacon 2014-05-01 03:15

AWESOME! had a ton of fun, great art, super well made.

Nice job.

depp 2014-05-01 03:24

Nice puzzle! With the instructions were in the game, as opposed to on this page. Play was a bit slow, but it had great ambiance.

wetdesertrock 2014-05-01 05:25

I AM TRAMATIZED, before I knew the minesweeper-esc technique to playing the game, I was horrified to jump, and then immediately explode. I screamed. My girlfriend screamed. It was not good.

I did really like your game though. If you had more time, I can imagine you actually producing an in game tutorial or such.

Also, technique I found that only failed me once was:
red -> long jump
green -> short jump

And FYI, I had to get someone who wasn't partially colorblind to help me play this game. Perhaps you can use colors that stand out more. This means red and green are out when put together, or just change the shades of the color.
For your game, you could do something like dark green and bright red.

Good job :)

Very pretty, although the background breaks the immersion somewhat. Smart, but the deaths were seemingly random, and felt punishing for something not under your control.Movement felt kind of slow, as well. I know it's tactical, but it could have moved faster.
Very impressive game, though.

taocayo 2014-05-02 21:38

Top notch graphics, theme and, maybe I misinterpreted it; but, a bit funny. I second the feeling of not winning unless I get no casualties at the end.

noahc_ 2014-05-03 06:44

Very well done! The graphics and utilization of the theme are excellent and very interesting! Good work!

gamertaters 2014-05-03 06:53

Wonderful game. Beautifully animated bunnies. Great artwork all around. Very tense atmosphere. Some of the situations I found myself in solving puzzles felt a little too much like trial and error at times which I wasn't too crazy about. Overall though, I very much enjoyed this game. Very good entry! Well done!

petrih 2014-05-03 14:20

Hahaha, great game! Really love it. Oh, those poor rabbits! I feel sad when they blow up.

sparrow 2014-05-03 14:34

Wow. This was super intense. This game has a very strong immersion, every time the mine exploded I freaked out. I would love to see some more obstacles/mechanics besides the mines in a post-compo version to add more variation to the gameplay.

managore 2014-05-04 02:49

Stunning graphics and a really well thought out game mechanic! Trying to beat levels without losing a single bunny was wonderfully challenging and rewarding. Really well done!!

crowbeak 2014-05-04 05:27

The graphics are beautiful, but the game really just feels like an invisible maze with insufficient clues as to the right path through that punishes you for making good guesses because sometimes the only way through is to let a rabbit get blown up to clear the way for the next one. I didn't really enjoy playing it.

matthias_zarzecki 2014-05-04 21:08

oh my gosh the bunnies are adorable :D

ryan-up-in-here 2014-05-05 02:03

Once I read about the strategy, it was a lot more fun. The game looked great too.

cakencode 2014-05-05 08:55

Amazing set up and mood! I loved the art at the beginning, and the bunnies with the style of gameplay made me really care about what happens to each and every one...although it was beneficial to sacrifice a few to get a better sense of the land. Great game overall! It's super cute!

donovanwu 2014-05-07 00:57

Wow! Never too much to say this game is awesome!

spotco 2014-05-07 01:37

Really impressive 3d art!

cardboard 2014-05-08 05:24

Oh wow, this game is so beautiful; it's also extremely intense. Before I learned to longjump, I was playing with fire: bunny explosions were a thing that happened at random. I'm glad I didn't know how to longjump at the start though, and I know I should've read the description before playing, but if I hadn't then I would not have witnessed the beauty that is an exploding 3D bunny. The music fit the atmosphere well, the gameplay was fun the whole game, and the graphics were super cute (both in-game and the intro/ending art); nice work!

I made a video of the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcyZUR7o8hk&feature=youtu.be
