If you make a mistake, Derek detonates - so nothing can go wrong. Literally

The game has a charming, retro vibe that really shines through in its 8-bit art and humorous presentation. For instance, the shooter minigame becomes too easy if you spam left click, and the platforming sections can be frustrating if you have to restart the whole sequence after failing the last challenge. Overall, nicely done, definitely fits jam theme!
Cute game :3
Not bad I like the tension you get from having that countdown timer the platforming for me was a bit too swirly but all around solid
I may have exploded way more than i would have liked but it was fun! nice and short. If you were to add to it i would say to add more mini games and a randomizer so each playthough is differnt, wouldnt feel so repetitive then. Love the art style, its very cute!
Cute little game! Especially love how derek turn back to us when we fail and the bomb explodes!
Really fun and charming game! I really liked the charming aesthetic and I think the silly music really fit the game.
If I could add one thing is that I wish that the shooter games kept shooting if left click is held down, and that the third game had a way to be beaten faster since you have a timer, and having to wait around with a timer ticking down doesn't feel great.
Those are small details though and don't detract much from the experience, overall you did great, especially for your first game, good job!
So much fun, would love to see more to it. Good job!
Loved the choice of implementing small minigames as parts of the game! But man is it frustrating to start over, if you fail at the last one. xD
Very fun game!
Really cute art, music and lose animation :)
Game is very challenging
The art is soooo adorable, makes the game really unique. Its fun to play, so well done!
Happy to hear you liked the art and enjoyed your playthrough! :D
Nice take on the mini games and cute art
Thanks a lot.
I may or may not have gone against the name of the game and detonated Derek a lot cx fun to see so much added into a game jam
Uh ohhh... Thanks for the kind words.
Super interesting, each mini-game in the form of a gameplay that's quite different and requires a good level for each one. I'm a fan of the visual style too, especially the character who turns towards the player before the bomb explodes xD Well done!
Thanks a lot for the nice comment! Glad you liked the art, Derek really is the shining star of this game. :D
I like the Bomb lore for mini game, and Cuteness of Derek. I'm not really fond of mini-games, surely because I'm bad at it :(
Yeah it's not every cup of tea and we definitely didn't make anything revolutionary with this game.
Loved the art a lot as well as the minigames! (the shooter one is pretty easy and long so it does get a bit boring if you have to play it again)
Sorry Derek you had to die a lot before I could finally stop the bomb.
Happy to hear you like the art. It was my first time game designing so that's very nice to hear. Thanks for the feedback!
Loved the sound effects. Good one congrats :-)
Thank you very much!
Very well done! Absolutely everything went wrong because I kept making mistakes haha! I've always liked the concept of mini games in a game. And is that Kirby? Congrats on a game well made!
Thank you for playing! Glad you liked the minigames. Concepts like this are also one of my favourites. Games in Games are always really fun. Didn't realise Derek looked like Kirby haha, he's a Warawara.
This is amazing for your first game! super cute visuals and fun gameplay. I blew up Derek a lot, sorry lil guy XD
Loved this one, super cool art and really fun concept. Sorry Derek :(
I've exploded Derek so much too... Ups. Happy to hear you like the art! :D
Very cool game concept and amazing art, congrats!
