I like how you stylized the game! The sound with the graphics really gives it this funky atmosphere which fits with the game

I had some trouble figuring it out at first, I thought at first that pocket man was the little guy on the tiled screen below since he was kind of small!

Sometimes I feel like it was fairly RNG-dependent on whether I could sit on the right chair in time, but I can't deny that some ticking time bomb somewhere alongside the intense music was pretty,,, well, intense!

(Also the world record of 13 is mine now muahahaha)

Thank you!

Yea I feel like I could have done the instructions differently.

I assure you its not RNG-dependent, while testing I made sure it was possible to get from the two farthest chairs on the fastest bomb speed.

Congratulations on the world record as well!

What a weird concept (I mean this as a compliment haha). I love his little flailing arms! I personally wish I could play this without needing a mouse (I play on laptop with a trackpad, ugh) I feel like the bomb countdown is a little too fast. It could start off a tad slower to let the player get their bearings and then the speed could increase after a while. Kudos to an original idea and job well done on the game itself! I <3 pocketman.

Thanks for the feedback! Slowing the bomb a little would've solved some things now that I think of it. Was it not working at all with the trackpad?

It was! It's just more fiddly and makes it a bit harder, but I still managed to play (sat on three chairs before dying haha)
