This game is hilarious, love the concept. I almost flubbed a pick up right next to granny but just managed to huck it out the window in time. My top pick game so far I think. Great work!

grandma gonna give me a nightmare the way she's looking lol
GRANDMA NOOOOOO (I like it, great job)
Must protect grandma! Nice game, only missing sprint key. I kept hitting shift hoping for more speed!
Great game! Very fun concept. I really like the idea that you can't actually tell what window the dynamite came through, and they all look the same whether broken already or not. Forcing you to rely on other cues. Good stuff. My only very minor complaints are: on my first try, the second dynamite went under/into Granny's chair, so I'm pretty sure it was impossible for me to get to. And then secondly, on my next try, nothing cheap happened and it was a bit too easy. Would be cool to have 2 dynamites getting chucked in at once and having to scramble to remove both! :)
Thanks for coming to the stream, submitting your game and sticking around for so long to watch the others :) Loved your game and it was hilarious when grandma died. Very funny and well polished, great job!
This is one of the funniest games on the jam. Good job!
Looks kinda nice game! it's a cool concept! check out my jam game!
Really funny concept, the bombs could land in the walls making them unable to be picked up which was a bit frustrating and I also would enjoy if the difficulty scaled as the game progresses, but other than that, great work!
@rsninjadev Thanks for trying our game! We noticed that too sometimes, were there any specific walls that was an issue or just in general?
@mickxe the wall by the kitchen, could be others as well idk
Great fun idea. Good SFX and I really like the humor behind, like grandmom being priceless ))) because you have to pay for the damage. The pickup controls are a bit hard, but I guess it adds some difficulty to the game. Overall I like it!
5/5
The tense feeling and amazing looks and sound really felt great. Still, I had to put the game down after like 4 rounds. The controls were quite hard and I think it didn't help that I had what felt like latency when looking around. It got really frustrating when I stood right next to the bomb, unable to pick it up or throwing it against a wall because I was still turning even though I stopped moving my mouse.
Besides that, great game and I think with a little bit of tweeking on the controls it would be amazing.
@fribolin that's a shame, thanks for playing though and sharing the info.
may I ask what your computer specs are and if your graphics drivers are updated?
@0x01f0 16GB RAM, Geforce GTX 960 Intel Core i7 All not the newest, but still working for most games. Graphics drivers were actually old, but I updated them and it didn't really change.
While playing again I noticed something off with the menus. The How to play is also in the in game menu and I'm not sure if it is supposed to be there.
Looks pretty fun but it was laggy as hell for me, I couldn't even look around properly :(
Nice!! game
@fribolin kudos for checking! 🙏
UE5 is pretty performance hungry but those specs should be able to run it, for sure!
I'll have to look into it.
@frigusterio noo, you too? such a shame.. if possible, could you tell me your computer specs? I'm looking into some graphics settings.. anyway, thanks for plating and letting us know!
That is a fun and unique concept! The grandma scares me though - with her empty, far away eyes :fearful: Graphics is very nice and humming fits surprisingly well - adds to the slightly creepy atmosphere. Very niecley done.
What I wonder is - who did the grandma piss off? :wink:
Got a perfect score.

I can't even imagine how you could think of something like that))
Good job! You've made a very fun game)
The game's fun, but the dynamite is pretty small so picking it up is a bit finicky and annoying.
I like the sound effects, though.
@0x01f0 i have an Intel Core i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz and 8GB of ram (I copy pasted it from my pc's settings). Since I'm on a laptop that's probably why it's laggy for me
@frigusterio thanks for the follow up! I should include a settings menu next time and include system requirements. Unreal is beefy and especially this new version 🙈
Haha omg I am absolutely in love with the humor and concept of the game haha. Had a blast with it! I think the sound effects also add to the humor and overall I think this is an excellent submission! Great job!
The game looks and sounds great. I don't think I had as much lag as some of the other players, but I also gave up as it was very hard to pick up the bomb. I had to be very close and the aim had to be exactly on the bomb. Maybe it should be possible to pick up the bomb as long as you're within X distance of it and looking at it's general direction, even when the aim is not exactly on it?
Also, when the bomb fell away from the lights it was hard to see it and aim at it.
I also tried playing with a controller, but turning the camera with the right stick was extremely slow so I switched to mouse and keyboard.
Even though it was very hard to play I believe this game has potential to be very fun. Nice take on the theme, btw!
@tex-killer thanks for the feedback and these kinds words! :)
good point, we're going to expand the collider for the bombs and fix the controller issue.
may I ask if if your mouse sensitivity felt high and if you noticed this (slightly misplaced 😳) setting?

Funny game :D
A super funny and very well made little game. Well done.
Original concept! I like the art, the ceilling is a little low, it's fun to throw bombs through windows, after a while it gets repetitive, maybe needs some other goals, but I enjoy it, the mechanics and sounds are very good, I really like how you implement x-ray vision to see where the bombs fall, cool work!
Concept is pretty fun. It's a little sad there is not some additional variety in the types of bombs/interactions to get rid of them, but I guess it was already a lot to pull out in the limited time of the jam !
Great concept. The game looks really nice and feels really good to control, even though picking up bombs can be a bit unresponsive sometimes. The general gameplay idea is great and if this got some background music and more levels, this would be a banger game (pun intended).
11/10 would rescue grandma from a barrage of bombs any day
The idea on the topic is very cool, I liked the graphics, it's really cool.
I thought the game looked very polished and played quite well. My only criticism is probably due to the theme, after I figured out the controls I found it was very easy as the difficulty never increased and I could get into a rhythm of just yeeting bombs out of windows.
