Nice entry, maybe the player is too small compared to the map.. Try to work in a post jam version! Thanks for your work

First I didn't know which tile is destroyable and I had problem with Powerups. Overall nice game, I really loved this bomberman kind of games back in the day.

baski 2018-04-23 08:56

@Horbee You should check power up description :D. But thanks :)

horbee 2018-04-23 09:02

@Baski yeah, after that was crystal clear. But of course I tried it out first and than red the description :D

frostdragonliz 2018-04-23 09:41

Love it, pretty fun little game. However the -1 bomb powerups can make it so you can't spawn bombs! Super frustrating when you are on a good run! šŸ˜†

@Baski It's cool, i waiting multiplayer :) !

baski 2018-04-23 09:54

@theludovyc Me tooo :)

@frostdragonliz That was intended :D.

Pretty cool that you added a leaderboard. Good entry, but I think using perspective instead of top-down isometric view would be better. Can't even tell that this is a bomber man from top view.

@baski looks fun, but I can't play as I'm on Linux. Could you 'mention' me when you have the web version up

baski 2018-04-24 12:58

@bcvery1 added webgl version. Probably little laggy for now. Will fix later on. http://unity.jakubgabco.cz/

@dimaswift Thanks :) I wanted to be like 2d, and was easier to fix spawn of block in fixed height :)

jshaffer94247 2018-04-25 04:18

Woo hoo! I made it to #5 on the leader board. Hey, that was really fun. Played the web version; it's nice not to have to install. I was fine with the 2D version, but I couldn't understand what the little graphics were that were left behind after I bombed something. Either I need to read the instructions...nah...or I'd appreciate a little tutorial or something to give me hints. Nicely done! If it were mine, that might be the next thing I'd work on.

t8kk 2018-04-25 11:48

Oh interesting fusion of genres! I can definitely see potential in adding enemies and racing against your friends in real time would be sweeet. It got a little repetitive after some time but the audio and atmosphere is real good man, excellent work!

baski 2018-04-25 12:55

@T8kk I will work on that in postmortem version. Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciated.

@jshaffer94247 Thanks. There is no tutorial because I started working late =D . This is about 4 hours of work only. Had no time that weekend :)

Interesting concept. I had a few issues where I couldn't place bombs, and I think the difficulty might be a bit too high. Bomberman has a tight playfield because you're supposed to expand it as you go along, but by scrolling new areas in all the time, there's never enough room for more than one or two bombs at a time, which is a big part of the fun in the original.

jezpez 2018-04-26 10:01

Great work! And with a working leaderboard! Well done with the 2 simple genres put together nicely. I played it a few times :)

justinooncx 2018-04-26 10:01

That's a pretty good game! Works surprisingly well to make a very tense situation, since you need to wait for the bomb to explode, while the back wall slowly catches up on you... not to mention, big explosions are actually rather detrimental, since you have to run further back for cover sometimes! Could use a bit of polish, though. I remember spawning in a blocked off 1x1 square... but blowing myself up didn't kill me. Which was a little confusing. Still, great job!

anudin 2018-04-26 10:18

Critique: - The music isn't fitting. Also, the music changes everytime you click out of your browser and back into it. - Aim for a coherent color theme for power ups e.g. blue good red bad. - If the dot on my character is his nose he's facing the wrong way (looking left when I go right). - You can spawn in walls and then get teleported around. I actually got stuck in a 1x1 space. - It should be clearer that you died when the wall touches you. Some kind of animation or sound effect. - It seems that I have 2 lifes, it would be nice to see that indicated somewhere. Actually I think 1 life would be better to emphasize on the danger of bombs.

Positives: - It's really cool that you implemented a leaderboard. Adds alot. - I liked the powerup which reverses your movement direction!

Wrapping it up: The combination of genres is great! Works really well together although I'd maybe slow down the wall and add enemies to get some more Bomberman vibes. Implementation could be improved generally. Solid entry!

baski 2018-04-26 10:38

@NTurnerGames Maybe you too wrong power up and lost all your bombs :D But thanks.

@JezPez Thanks :)

@justinooncx Yeah spawning is little bit bat :D. You have 2 life at the start and can get more. Life powerup is really rare. I will do the postmortem version :D Lot of people played it and want it to become full game :D

@Anudin Thanks for the detailed review :) I do not compose music because I had only 4 hours for this LD :/ (I was competing in European Championship). That is hat ball :D Like in original Bomberman :D Yeah power-ups are a little bit confusing. Maybe I will zoom a little bit with fewer rows and it would be clearer. Spawning is the issue I know. The wall was slower in first version, but It was so much easier to get 15 minutes or more :D But thanks :) Really appreciated :)

anudin 2018-04-26 11:14

@Baski 4 hours? LD always remembers me how slow I am... If you like the review consider giving it a heart so I get karma. That would be greatly appreciated :)

tomdeal 2018-04-26 11:41

Nice one, really cool idea of combining bomberman and endless runner. Some minor critique points: Sometimes you start in a block. On the first start, it is not clear what is a wall and what is space you can go through. The powerups could use an ingame description. And finally the level should get harder the longer it runs, so more walls. But you see, thats all very minor points, I really liked the game! I think it even has potential to do some mobile game with that idea.

baski 2018-04-26 11:45

@Anudin Yeah, sure. I always do :D. The first night I created some weird shit. :D (platformer + survival game + clicker) But it was not enough good for me so next night I started from scratch (11 pm), with last night sleep only for 3 hours with this game :D I ended up fall asleep on laptop :D Next day I just finished LD description and published :D

baski 2018-04-26 11:47

@tomdeal Thanks, man. I tried to visualize that using top red walls so :D But if you play Bomberman. The grid is always the same :). Yeah, I know about spawn sh**. :bed: Already planning to do mobile MP version :D.

3dleon 2018-04-26 12:20

The graphics feel a bit confusing with that colours for me, but funny game btw

gexalmighty 2018-04-26 13:13

Not exactly the most innovative project seen by man but it is nice simple and solid

saoi-games 2018-04-27 06:50

I’m not sure if you were able to see it, but I played your game on my stream at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames tonight.

This is an interesting take on Bomberman. It seemed like bigger bombs and more bombs were actually bad for you though, since there were no enemies to fight and bombs only destroy walls that they are directly adjacent to. Changing out the powerups or adding enemies would have probably solved this.

toulou 2018-04-27 11:19

Super interesting concept ! It definitely deserve to be expanded, it's super simple and a bit repetitive after a while, but it's harder than it's seems. I had fun playing your game, even if there is a few bugs. Like, on my first play I spawned in a wall :P Or one time the wall just near my bomb didn't explosed. Overall, I liked your game a lot, good job !

baski 2018-04-27 12:28

@Toulou If the bomb didn't explode your bomb reach was lower then 2, so it explodes in place :D. But thanks for the feedback. :) I will expand it don't worry :)

@saoi-games I will add PVE and PVP mode :) This game was made only in 4 hours total so :) Thansk for feedback and playing my game on twitch.tv :)

@3DLeon Graphics is simple because of no time :D But thanks. Will do postmortem version :)

nilstastic 2018-04-27 18:23

This was fun! I spent quite some time playing it! Thanks! Good job!
