• While reading through your GDD, I was really excited to try out your game since I enjoyed your inspirations a lot! I think your spin on the jam's theme is really neat! Wanting to be a bomb that defuses itself is such a neat idea! However, the actual game play was really tedious. I'm unsure if it was my screen size, but it felt like trying to actually click on things to grab/select them had a tight pixel allowance for what counted as a real click. Such as in the Clear Screen puzzle. I also had a hard time with the Enter ID puzzle. I could not figure out how to consistently click into the text box. I got it once, and every other time I tried, I ended up exploding before I could click in. Other than that though, the preciseness did not bother me too much. I also want to say that I enjoyed the artwork for the game. It sets a lighter tone, but still conveys the goal of the game clearly! A well done game, that with some interface tweaks, could be even more fun!
• Art style was enjoyable, but may need tuning for UI readability. While understanding this is supposed to be frenetic and challenging. Often text was overlapping with other dark borders and added strain. The text on the hold timer puzzle was constantly jumping around, and needed to be fixed with. Would like to see scaling difficulty for these puzzles. Some easy then hard, keeping the player on their toes. While the custom mouse cursor design looked and animated great. That inherently brought performance issues with mouse lag causing unnecessarily puzzle failure. Great use of SFX and sound in the puzzles. Music was background enough to not interfere with gameplay audio cues. Visually the danger meter was too out of the way or didn't pop out enough to keep tabs of. ‘Enter ID puzzle’ I was clueless on figuring it out. If it required keyboard input typed in? It did not work for me.
