Hi All - at the last minute I hacked mobile/touch support into my game and was surprised how well it worked on my Android devices.
I'd be really interested to see how it behaves on Apple or other types of devices if anyone is willing to take a minute to try the web build on their phone.
Glad you liked it. Some kind of progress bar and sorting out the landscape were next on my TODO list. That's the problem with 3hr jams, something always gets left out
The algorithm for the proc-gen is super simple - like a dozen lines of code. (And, I think, it's kind of broken) But it kind of works because of the bombs because when it create a broken level you can bomb it into compliance :)
Glad you are enjoying it. I discovered you can bomb yourself out of the cave if you mash the button enough and fall through the endless grey nothing until you die. That's probably a metaphor for something.
I'd been playing around with TIC=80 before which I really liked - I grew up programming C64 and Atari ST and felt really at home. Fixed game loop and access to a bitmap.
I took me a while to get godot as it forced you into it's structure. I almost feel simple things are more difficult in godot - I just played your game and I reckon I could implement something similar in TIC-80 in half the time I could with godot. On the other hand more complex games are definitely easier in godot. A lot of that is familiarity too - I guess.
I'm loving the ability to easily throw a bunch of bloom and CFT shaders on top of everything though!
Just randomised layout and names. I had plans for a difficulty ramp but I really wanted to actually finish one of the 3 hour jams in 3 hours ago so they had to go.
Totally, I ran out of time for play testing. All the times are just plucked from thin air. Some more indication of how thirsty the customer is would help too.
