so i got pretty far, then it sent me to box 41, then the next key after was 33+8, so is that a bug?

slimabob 2016-12-12 09:19

Well, I suppose I'll have to seek medical attention because I found your game to be hilarious. The gameplay is simple enough, but I very much like your interpretation of the theme.

My favorite line was the protagonist whining "I-I caaan't doooo that" every time I tried to jump.

I didn't think my laptop was SO bad, but after putting up with the UE4 prereq installer for 5 minutes, I was then told I didn't have enough video memory. System requirements might be nice to include...

jk5000 2016-12-12 09:53

#jcmonkey yes I believe it is a bug. I have checked my code again, and I can't find anything that should do that. But even though thank you for telling me about this bug.

jk5000 2016-12-12 10:07

#KJB of IBwWG I know that UE4 is a bit heavy on system requirements, but I can't tell you what the minimum requirements are. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

mattmatt 2016-12-12 10:13

I read the warning... and then gave this game 5 stars for humor :)
Graphics and assets are also very good.

jackdtaylor 2016-12-12 10:49

Had some fun even with 3 FPS. Nice gameplay idea and implementation, but the performance is a huge issue.

gene-z 2016-12-12 11:29

Very good, congrats.. nice game

sokette 2016-12-12 11:31

AHAHAHAHAH I Escaped ! Thank you for making me train my brain xD

rburema 2016-12-12 12:10

Wow... This is a 2-day compo game (as opposed to the jam)? How easy is the Unreal-4 Engine to get into (assuming the student knows their way around C++)?

Anyway!

A lot of attention to detail, like the ticking that starts on the title-screen, the groaning when waking up, etc.

Also a fan of 'well I have a mic, why not use it' sound effects. One day I'll do that myself :-)

One tiny bit that /could/ still be added is a 'well you didn't escape this time, but here's the number of boxes you /did/ open'-score, for those of us that have temporary thinky-organ lessening after staying awake until 4 at night ;-)

Also supposedly 'not-funny' remarks when clicking lights, floor, ceiling, etc.?

savinvadim1312 2016-12-12 12:20

Waw god job, i like the idea but i didn't have the power to finish it, maybe i'm bad at math :D

jk5000 2016-12-12 13:01

#rburema the game is not made with c++. It made with visual scripting system Blueprints. But it would not have been too difficult to make this with c++. And yes UE4 is relatively easy to learn and use.

nycolas 2016-12-12 13:06

A good game with a nice concept. I didn't finished it but I quite enjoyed it :)

tygrak 2016-12-12 13:09

Wooo I did it I escaped! You have a pretty good voice! Also a good sound a effect for the ticking! And common you dont hate math that much do you? :D

aster0id2000 2016-12-12 13:12

LOL, i though i will have to open every single box...
Good job!!!

mat4dor 2016-12-12 14:14

Great game! Enjoyed running around doing the math to try to get the key to escape the vault. Got stuck because one of the keys led me back to one deposit box that was already open.

eerongal 2016-12-12 17:17

Nice take on the theme. The constant complaining of the protagonist was fun. Gameplay is, however, just a sneaky way to force me to do math, you can't fool me.

kazik_210 2016-12-12 20:03

Awesome game and even more awesome voice actor :D

jusw85 2016-12-12 20:15

I survived :)
Thankfully I didn't have to complete all the sums.

stevenjmiller 2016-12-12 20:38

Great job, I made it with 105 seconds left on the bomb.

sfje-team 2016-12-12 21:41

Funny...Inovativ... you can build something very funny out of this, but math in a videogame.... meeh ;)

vini60 2016-12-12 22:31

Voice acting was on point haha.
Is that a bomb(drunken voice)?

candycreep 2016-12-13 02:36

Nice work :D

geosearchef 2016-12-13 11:44

Very intensive game cause you don't know when you get the bank door key (i got it with 4 secs on the clock). Well done!

fingamer 2016-12-13 11:49

Awesome game! I had to even use my brains to survive.

bradur 2016-12-13 16:27

This was a fun game! I was really scared the bomb was going to go off, and tried my best to get out of the vault as fast as I could. Loved it!

nexus64 2016-12-13 19:49

Very challenging. It's not much different from a "Brain Training" minigame, but a much funnier.

You should try to make more "Bomb Scape Game", but with different puzzles

breno_m 2016-12-13 21:58

Nice game. The bomb tick could be faster as the counter gets close to zero, to increase the tension.

geckoo1337 2016-12-13 22:41

I am free! I don't like games in which I must count (and count again) but I had fun playing it. Well done with a clever mood. A good project for kids :)

sudorossy 2016-12-14 10:09

Funnier than I think I gave credit for. Interesting submission but gets old fast.

hawksandwich 2016-12-14 11:11

Almost 4 stars in every category. nicely done. I genuinely enjoyed this one, you managed to make it so that you feel pressure but you still are engaged with it and don't feel like you're being drowned. The voice acting was pretty good, the graphics are pretty nice. Fun gameplay, a nice simple, short game. Good work :)

creativwhisper 2016-12-14 14:49

Great game, i really enjoyed it and it seems that i need some medical assistance xD

Great interpretation of the theme and superb execution. The game delivers a great and frustrating experience. Performance issues are very great however.

2016-12-14 20:15

I complained, then i calculated the final math question, and as i got the bank key, it blew up. If just I hadn't complained.....

bellatrion 2016-12-15 14:10

Nice idea ! Doing math while hearing the bomb ticking is quite stressful, haha

dev-dennis 2016-12-15 22:26

That was great ! Awesome start, it had a nice mood and feel to it. I felt like it would have been nice to something else happen, like a key with a question mark on, because it becomes quite triviel fast, and I'm not very good at math :)

and thank you for the nice comment you wrote about my game, that really meant a lot to me.

tkachov 2016-12-16 04:55

Meh, not bad overall, but doesn't seem really fun to play. Some music and more varied tasks could make it better.

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-12-16 18:17

Nice entry, the game runs pretty smmothly for me, the concept is well executed and the overall idea is cool.

ethankennerly 2016-12-17 20:25

When I realized "9-1" was not representing 9, not 1, and not 91, but was 8, I felt interested. I appreciated that once a box was opened that number wouldn't be used again, and that when I my arithmetic was off by just a bit I was already in the area where the answer was.

It's tense not knowing how many seconds are left; I appreciated that.

It looked and felt immersive. When I died with the bank door key in hand and not hearing and indication that the timer was almost out, I felt discouraged. Also one time I got a 0 being added, which seemed trivial.

linus123xbb 2016-12-19 18:50

Haha amazing, nice way to practice doing quick math in my head, I got the bank door and was opening the door but the bomb exploded just before I managed to open the door :(

mrwillowb 2016-12-22 05:49

ran poorly on my laptop but it looked impressive.

mighty-buxx 2016-12-22 09:16

Nice concept.

minato4th 2016-12-22 20:20

Good MATH! =)
Next level can be multiplication division

tompudding 2016-12-23 16:56

Amazing work, one of my favourite entries so far. I made a video review : https://youtu.be/3ny2uit39TU :)

palarus 2016-12-23 22:56

292-57 wtf? where is the box?!?!??! Great idea!! I liked it very much. Love the jam by things like this, really make my day! Good work!

maekeruu 2016-12-24 05:05

Wow!! so much for 48 hours... the voice acting blew me away.. enjoyed the game!

shrapx 2016-12-29 18:34

I like your idea and your execution. The voice acting and the humour of getting the math on key tags. much enjoyed. I couldnt complete it. My maths was too slow :|

bonedaddy 2016-12-31 04:37

Great use of the theme! I found it pretty funny myself. Is it possible to beat?

jk5000 2016-12-31 12:12

#BoneDaddy YES you can beat the game.
