A good game like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. A lot of high-quality work was done for one person. Thank you for the game!

Fun game didn't have a friend available when I played but still enjoyed the experience. Trying to quickly determine what type of the missile was and what the bit switches were was fun.

@firewater09 Thanks for the feedback. Yes, since the game is based on jam, I decided to simplify the balance a bit. A game to spend an evening with your girlfriend or friend :)

Cool premise, was a bit hard to learn at first. Well done!

If you overcome the barrier of instructions, then most likely you will like the gameplay. I personally especially liked the sounds and mechanics of matching the wave to the rocket. Potential of the theme is revealed

I liked the game. If you play with a friend, the game reaches a whole new level.

EN The game is simply "THE BOMB." It's extremely well-made. A little work on smoothing the immersion (so the mechanics aren't immediately accessible) and you can release it.

RU Игра просто "БОМБА". Очень качественно сделана. Немного поработать над плавным погружением *чтобы не сразу механики были доступны* и можно релизиться.

@cawa Thank you! I'll think about it.

Well... it is fun! A lot of work to destroy a missile indeed. I had to read all the help section first in order to play it properly, and even then, after getting the data from a missile, for each step I had to look in to see if I should toggle it or not. Definitely need to play with a friend this game, or I should just learn each rule and only then it will be possible to disrupt a missile in like 30 seconds. Graphics are amazing, same for the audio. Perfect game! :smile:

Great game, but unfortunately I didn't destroy any missiles. I would like the instructions not to cover the entire screen.

nice

The game is really well-made and has a lot of potential, but the instructions are so long, and I don't have a friend around to play with, so I'm just too lazy to play it. But I'll still give it a good rating because I like the game overall.

Ну эт качество!

Очень хорошая игра, жаль у меня нет прямо сейчас рядом друга, чтобы вместе поиграть, а в одиночку пришлось достаточно долго ждать пока произойдет какой нибудь движ. В целом исполнение просто шикарное!

Since you were targeting an international audience, it would’ve made sense to have English set as the default language.

The error-switching buttons are very small—they could’ve been bigger (I was playing in windowed mode). The art looks like it might be AI-generated. I don’t have anything against AI, but stylistically it feels a bit undercooked.

Because the defusal instructions are quite complex and take time to memorize, I couldn’t manage it. It’s a pity the game doesn’t automatically pause when you open the instructions. I didn’t attempt another run.

That said, it’s a really enjoyable game. It’s great to see the theme explored from different angles through gameplay—that definitely deserves a high score.

@cat-in-hat-games Thank you for your feedback! The default language is the system language. I will check your case, this may be a bug.

The graphics are completely hand-drawn by me. AI was only used to generate the color palette.

And yeah, the game has a high entry threshold.

cat-in-hat-games 2026-04-25 23:18

@pacelin Okay, my bad. Sorry for assuming it was AI.

Здорово, арт очень красивый. Было очень интересно поиграть, я классно провел время в этой игре. (за русский отдельное спасибо)

Very cool and well made game. Great job.
