This was a nice little puzzle game. Good minimalist design and some interesting puzzles. Had a few small issues with the physics engine (which from the looks of your youtube video seems custom made, in which case I can overlook this). Overall a nice submission.

Hello! I made a video about how this game looked from start of the development to the finish. Check it out!

Great game. Excellent level design. Really made my wife and I think hard to solve some of the puzzles. It could potentially be really frustrating if you have the solution but it didn't quite work because of a slight misplacement. Might be good to discretize the angles the player can shoot to avoid micro-mistakes. Or a shot-prediction like in pool games.

It seemed like some of the bombs blew up faster than others. I'd appreciate some indication of how long they'll take to explode.

Really liked it.

I am honestly not satisfied with the physics in this game, simply because I wrote them from scratch and not using an existing physics library. It contains a lot of hacks and sometimes makes bombs move unexpectedly.

Explosion timing is calculated by how close the other bomb exploded. And there is actually an indicator for their timing. They blink faster when timer decreases and they become fully red without blinking when they are about to explode.

Anyways thanks for the feedback! It’s really appreciated!

Really cool concept!
