the music is ok, graphics are ok, the game seems interesting, but i just cant get the controls of this character down. i keep spinning out of control.

Interesting concept.

Controls are pretty wobbly. I did not quite understand what i had to do, or how to achieve it

@fachscahfttf Yes - the robot controls similarity to a Segway - it tries to keep upright on its own. I have uploaded a video showing how to play the game in case you are curious.

Like the mood and the concept. Took a while until I understood that I was controlling a robot and not a bomb :face_palm:

the googly eyes were a great touch! interesting idea for a game.

Nice graphics, but I also found the controls a bit too finicky.Otherwise a very well executed idea. Well done!

Neat idea, very polished entry. But boy, the controls are doing me in! :)

All the time I keep rolling the bomb too fast so it misses the eviction shaft.

It feels as if the gravity is changing to the right (you can't fly up as easy as in the left part). Also, the force of the jets not linear? My instinct tells me keeping left or right pressed should give me more force, but it feels like there's a cap.

The 'segway' type characther was interesting, althouhg it was hard to control it witht the porpolsors!

Got rid of 3 of the bombs on after some tries :p

Sometimes ago I heard about a Ubisoft rules to make good game you should have good 3C: - Camera - Caracters - Control

And like other I had lot of pain with the control, but I enjoy the Caracters and Audio

Hilarious concept - the robot is ridiculously ill-suited to its task of ejecting the timebombs, and yet they're the only one there to do it! It's like a house is on fire, but the only one that can save it is the goldfish - flopping around over the phone trying to call the fire department and operate a foam fire extinguisher. I really liked this goofy yet challenging game.

Well, it's definitely unusual control. But it's really hard :/ I think it should be improved. Especially the movement up.

I liked other things: visual, audio, and the concept of throwing all bomb in one hole, which can be used also for moving up.

So, generally not bad game!

This is one of the games that make you ragequit, but than you come back because you want to finish it. Cool game!

I know it's innovative and it's supposed to be fun the wonky controls but i couldn't get the hang of them and didn't like them after all. I do in fact like the idea, just as the graphics and the audio in the game. Congrats on developing it in 48h with an innovative approach as well.
