Very cool puzzle concept. I particularly liked the twist in level 10. I appreciate the clean presentation and overall package.
A small thing that would be nice: track which bomb you tried to click on your previous attempt,
Nice job, I think you could definitely develop this concept into something really cool!
Ah! That's a great idea! Adding it to Todo list. Thank you for playing! <3
FUN FACT: Level 10 was based on a bug lol. I was creating a new level and I accidentally placed two bombs in the same place. The bomb prefab has two colliders: one at the center, used to receive collisions, and one that goes like a cross to collide with other bombs. Normally, two adjacent bombs can't touch each other, so their center colliders won't detect collision until one bomb enables the cross-shaped colliders. So, when two bombs started in the same place, their center colliders touched, and they count as being activated, thus creating self-exploding bombs. It was not planned in the original design, but the accident inspired those puzzles: level 10 and 12.
Spinning a bug into a cool new idea.. love it :)
Hello everyone, I just added a video showing all puzzle solutions. Some have been getting stuck at level 11 and I just wanna make sure the puzzle can be solved and it is not related to bugs. Thanks for playing! Of course, if you haven't played, I highly recommend it first!
This game is very cool and a bit hard, especially level 11. I couldn’t finish this level, but at least I succeeded in the previous ones :)
It seems some are being stuck in that one hehe, I did arranged it so only one bomb makes the chain work. I'll make a little video showing all solutions, at least for this initial release for the game jam. Once I get to work on more levels and blocks I'll move that one to further difficulty levels. Thank you very much for playing! <3
This has some nice puzzles, good job! My only want would be a "fast forward" option. Also do levels not save which ones were beaten across sessions?
Yes! I've been thinking on setting a slider on some place in the screen of all puzzles to allow the player change the wait time of the bombs and other blocks. As for the save, it's only persistent across scenes. I actually learned how to do that at 3 am just hours before the end of the jam lol. So I still gotta learn the one for sessions. But definitely adding those to the ToDo list! Thank you for playing! <3
got to level 11, and for some reason no matter which bomb i clicked on it wouldnt since explode the grenades. was a really nice puzzle game concept.
Thanks! I checked and the Level 11 and it works as expected, however, Sync Bombs need to be hit at the same time in a 0.5 second time window. I wonder if is something specific in your case that is making them not get the hit collision in that window. Anyway, I'll do a video solving everything, in case someone gets stuck in a level. Thanks for playing! <3
I thought this was a great game! It was super engaging and the levels were doable, even if they seemed hard initially. Only criticism is that it could have had music, but that's a minor thing really.
Yes! This definitely needs some nice music. I was not able to find one that I liked, and I had not enough time to make one. This definitely will be added later :) I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing! <3
