No comments yet? This game was great! Very nice pixel art, cool concept and lots of levels! I think your concept has a lot of potetial for further development. First I thought that the time above was the time limit to complete the level. But once I figured out that the timer above was my own fuse it made a lot more sense and allowed me to explore and strategize a little more. Really good idea. I never played such a game!

Thanks for trying it out.... There are like 1.8k submissions, so I am not surprised that no one found my game yet...
I really had a lot of fun making the game and hoping to continue working on it.. I would love get your opinion on this game, do you think the game structure would work better as levels like it is currently or a rouge like dungeon like how 'Binding of Isac' works...
That's a good question! The timer of your fuse seems to indicate that shorter sections are better suited for your current gameplay. In addition players also lose time when they receive damage from enemies and blow up. But I think it could be a very interesting twist for a rouge like dungeon crawler. The fuse allows lots of interactions that could be engaging, like a consumable that stops the fuse or refreshes the timer. Personally I would build a small prototype for a week to test if a rogue like could work with this mechanic. Since you have to use your own life to kill enemies it could lead to avoidance of enemies, if the players have a longer section in front of them. If you want to make a rogue like I would add more mechanics that allow the player to regain life (or explosive charges).
I imagine that it could work for a fast paced gameplay but I would test this hypothesis with a prototype.
Yes you are absolutely correct, I am thinking of creating a prototype to test that out and most definitely I want to give a mechanic to get more life while the game is running and also a buff debuff system ( timed and run bassed), I created a buff debuff system for another game jam last year I'll borrow that I guess 😂 ("Ronins Dilemma"- you can check it out from my profile)
