I think mechanics of subtracting and adding bomb timer/damage/speed is super cool idea! I didnt see nothing similar to this and it feels really fresh.
Also i think it should has simple control bindings or mechanic to add a little more casual gameplay, because now i cant win bot with my claws lmao 😭
Maybe i feel that you should adding mechanic that will slow game, when bomb will be near the player character, to give player the time (from 1 to 5 seconds) to choose perk to reflect the bomb with. Even if you add key binding to each perk it will be faster and easier to remember controls. I've drawn the interface, maybe it will seem interesting for you.
I really liked this your game, thank you for done work!
