I love the idea, there are so many cool things I think you can do with this with more work. Great work, excited to see what you make.

Fun concept, The idea was nice and the prototype was nice as well, Some work and this can turn into something really fun, Good job.

Cool core mechanic, well implemented switching and supportive objects for making it useful. The base combat is a bit sluggish, and while i understand that the focus is on using the environmental objects to attack instead, the projectiles collide with other things very easily and so even if you set up an explosive perfectly the shot you make to set it off might not connect. Overall still enjoyable, could definitely see a full game of this, maybe more puzzle-like in it’s design.

Interesting exchange mechanic. I think if the boss touches a bomb box they die instantly. I also wasn't sure how much health I had or how much health the boss had.

yep sadly it’s still buggy to all hell. Thanks for trying it out though!

"Keep it simple" was a good tagline. I like the main mechanic and implementation on the boss battle. Needs a little bit more feedback so you know that you are doing damage. Good luck!

Thank you! Yea I wanted to add more features like a health bar for the boss and differing attack patterns. The idea was to make it a sorta like those ball in a cup tricks where they shuffle the cups and you choose one, but for the boss, it shuffles between obstacle types and you choose one by shooting one particular cup for a bit and that cups obstacles get released on the field. But hey, it’s my first game jam! Coulda been worse!
