I wished I had someone locally to play with because that was amazingly fun! The tv aesthetic was spot on and I loved the beginning cinematic that came with it. The visuals are beyond amazing and I wish you well with any further developments

I really liked intro cinematic and art style. Though the game itself did not feel as amazing. It was really unclear what to do and what enemies did. Another thing is that it seems that standing in the same spot is optimal, which kinda defeats the whole purpose.
That intro is really cool :) Fun game concept, too. Definitely needs even more obstacles, though ;)
Fun game, good take on the theme ! I could watch this intro all day long ahaha
Super detailed premise and story for a game jam. Love the art. Was a bit confused about what to do at first but got it eventually. I think it's a good polished game. Just a bit short.
Fun game, I like the art style and easy to make a room to play with friends online. Only issues it's a short game, but from what I've read from other review, it's a bug. Would recommend to others.
Nice job!
I had to wait for a second player to help me out, else I failed horribly.
First of all, the art and music are amazing. I loved the intro and general setup of the game's world. The art fit the worldbuilding beautifully. At first we thought we may be able to intentionally set the connection between the two players on fire for an easier win, but that was a stupid idea and we lost xD
Did manage to win later though :)
The game's art and its Art Deco aesthetic is absolutely tremendous and very well polished! The sound design was likewise excellent. It amazes me how you guys managed to create a established world in only 5 or so scenes and a couple of sentences, something which the clear characterization of the antagonist superbly. I have two criticisms. One is that although the tutorial tells you how to move, it doesn't tell us that the rope between the two bombs block the incoming objects. The second is that the gameplay is just frankly a bit too short. I think I spent more time in the intro than the actual game itself. Introducing the different types of enemies and obstacles more slowly would have better paced out the experience. Excellent game! I hope to see more like this in the future.
10/10 story of a toiler paper man being racist towards bombs who want nothing but their freedom, very sad made me weep almost
jokes aside the game looks amazing and is fun to play!
This game's technique and art are absolutely 5 star.
Very impressive!
Absolutely impressive amount of content and polish. Tons of features, A+ presentation.
music is so good it stays in my mind, and the flow of game is good, GREAT JOB guys
