Funny sound effects, haha.. Prrwwhwh!
With a bit of polish this could be a fun game. Didn't match the theme though. ;)

Nice attempt, I really like the character animations. I guess you were going for a bomberman-type game? I actually liked the all-white material, not sure if it was done on purpose but I think it has good potential.

I really laughed at the sound effects! Pretty nice, would love more to play though!

jfreax 2014-12-08 09:43

The sound effects! Perfect :)
Also, the animations are quite cute. I like it.

It's a shame that it's not really playable. A large part of the work is already done. Do you plan to finish the game later? It could be a fun game.

I put some more work into it, to polish the post compo a bit. It's is now playable - but short. There even is music now, lol^^

Am I missing something, or are the bombs missing explosion effects? Also you can walk through the blocks, which is a bit confusing (played the compo version).

Something like this definitely has potential, but I felt some things about it were off. It took me a while to figure out that I had to click to place bombs, I feel like it should be mapped to a key on the keyboard too, like Space or Enter. On top of that, I couldn't figure out exactly when the bombs were exploding, maybe a particle effect or something visual to show they were exploding would work, rather than just disappearing. The sounds were very quiet too - I had to have my volume turned right up just to hear them, and even then, they sounded a bit weird. However, the character animation was very cute, it gave the blocky character some sense of personality almost with the way it walked. It has potential, with a bit of polish. (I'm of course rating the competition version, not the post-comp). I definitely saw the strong Bomberman influence from it though. A potentially cool entry, but a little off. Still, good work though.

@arzi - Yes indeed, the particlesystem responsible for the explosion effects didn't work in the webplayer for whatever reason. That is fixed in the post compo. Also, blocks are blocking there^^

It's like a bomberman brawl.
The idea is good, but it wasn't well executed.
As other have said, the explosion fx doesn't work and that's crucial for a game like this. The enemies keep killing themselves and you never die if you run around placing bombs.
(rated the compo version)

fun game it's the beginning of something. To bad you didn't finish

xaedes 2014-12-09 13:27

@el-pepi, you are right - the explosion fx shouldn't be missing. As others have also mentioned that, I decided to fix that bug for the compo entry. Btw: You where always able to kill the enemies with your bombs too; all the bombs have limited range though..

Hi there. Not much to play, it is very simple with some little problems in the mechanics, but has a good felling and has a potential as clone of bomberman .

The post compo version gives a good addition to the official one. Good job.

Really nice entry, the 3D art fitted right into the game (maybe some textures would be nice). Also, I think a bomb-limit would be nice, as you can run around the screen putting bombs, and win instantly :P

dunin 2014-12-10 17:44

explosions are weird but, in fact, really cool.
The mechanics need more reflexion maybe.

wakka 2014-12-11 15:57

love that little paperboy like guy. Animations be a bit faster

mrexcessive 2014-12-11 19:03

Hi there. Like the bomb seeding. Like the explosion sound. Good job!

edve98 2014-12-12 15:19

am I the only one who thought that in this game it's really easy not to die?

pigeonsfromouterspace 2014-12-13 21:56

Nice graphics syle. I think it could benefit a lot with added multiplayer. Also great improvment in post compo version, loved the acapella song :D

icylava 2014-12-19 14:12

Once I realized that you can just hold the mouse button to place the bombs it got really easy... also, it seems the bombs don't blow up each other, maybe if they would it would be harder to just make a trail of bombs. As for the sounds, it's really not that hard to generate some with bfxr, you can usually make a passable one just by clicking on one of the effect names. But good work, I really liked it :)

wirtualnosc 2014-12-19 14:41

Very simple game, felt like it needs more stuff though... Blasting enemies on an empty level with just a small range bomb isn't exactly too promising. Other than that, it was enjoyable.

grambler1 2014-12-19 15:15

The music is really cool and the graphics are cute as well, but the enemies felt unnecessarily hard to kill. :(

gre 2014-12-19 19:44

The post-compo starts to be interesting.

lynx 2014-12-20 01:24

Interesting concept, I can see the reference, would be a fun game when you get it all polished up. I do enjoy trapping the little guys in corners and running away!

jezzamon 2014-12-20 22:33

Death sound effect is nice!

Maybe you should've done some practising before LD began, then you wouldn't have spent as much time fighting with unity

stackattack 2014-12-22 02:24

Interesting game - nice sound effects - not sure how well it really fits with the theme

toadfrogs 2014-12-27 04:45

Scored 22, just had fun placing infinite bombs while holding the mouse button. Made me felt a nostalgia to the classic bomberman game. Nice :D

maxmetallica 2014-12-29 19:28

nice game
