Neat! I feel like this game is "begging" for an auto-advance mode for the timeline, so we can enjoy the fruits of our destruction :-)

@caranha You can click the timeline slider Play button and it will auto-advance!

caranha 2016-12-12 13:17

I See! Yeah, it all makes sense now!

Now all you need is some "BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!" :-)

My highest score so far is low 8000's

Nice idea, but it seems to me more like a sandbox rather than a game. Flushing the scene with bombs gets boring really quick, so maybe restrict the number of bombs a player can place. This would add some kind of challenge to the game.

Interesting mechanic! Perhaps something to work against (maybe robot janitors trying to clean up stuff in the time they occupy?) or more states of destruction (can only happened within a certain time frame as to maximize the score). Nice idea though!

The idea of messing up the room to get paid to clean it up made me laugh. Even though the mechanic is pretty simple, its fun to try to beat your high score.
I spent the most time on dimension #25471, lots of boxes and spheres to fly everywhere.

Chaooos! I like to destroy the room. Fun game!

Nice concept and a quick bit of fun! Could see this developing more, quite easily. Physics is pretty satisfying as well! Well done!

Great idea! Really liked the messing with time :)
I think I found a bug where objects fly through the walls though. Def fun!

Great idea! Really liked the messing with time :)
One thing though: once you realize what you gotta do there isn't much more to the gameplay.

Definitely fun!

Interesting concept. Maybe adding some gameplay elements to make it more than a physic simulation.

Lots of *super* cool stuff going on here on a technical level, but I don't feel like it results in a fun _game_. Sound would have really helped this.

Really cool concept. Loved the fact that objects were destructible when moved with a lot of force, loved also the concept with rewindable time. Graphics were pretty simple but very straightforward for the game. One thing I would have done is limit the # of bombs the player can place so that there is a bit more strategy involved in making the highest score. Cheers

The game was fun to play. Like the rewind feature of the game, that was impressive! I also like the graphics of the game, well done. Overall nice game to play. Keep it up!

Oh, cool entry!

This kinda reminds me of that truck dismount game. I wish you had a bit more time to flesh it out, though, cause it did get boring quick. I think this is a case where giving the player too much freedom was a bad thing. Especially with the random levels, I didn't care what score I got on any particular one.

It's pretty cool, graphically. Particularly the time bombs. And I admire how clean the mouse is -- It always clicks where I want it to, despite being in 3D space.

Nice work~

Nice entry!! I've get a lot of fun playing. It's a good feature that you can set a seed for the room generation. I would like to play a post ludum version. Keep Working.

Feels like a prototype looking for a game. Given that you didn't have much time to finish the project, it's understandable. I do like the timeline mechanic, but they don't seem to add much to the "create more chaos" objective to me.

Cool graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/dPGA6ze9lwQ
