Thank you so much for playing!
Yeah, we were trying to make a mini version of Outer Wilds mixed with Minit. I still need to actually play Outer Wilds myself, but it's only ever on sale for like 40% off. I'm waiting for that 80% discount before I pull the trigger. 😆
I'm honestly shocked to hear that people are brute-forcing the candle puzzle! I thought having to get past the dog would make it too time-sensitive for anyone to try that.
As for the bridges, I deliberately added them as a tense little challenge because you're constantly racing against the clock. I was actually very close to making that section even longer!
Like with every game jam project, a lot of the feedback people have given us are things we're already aware of. We just needed more time to polish everything and think through some of the design decisions. To be honest, there were times when we weren't even sure we'd have the energy to finish the game since we were both working full-time as well. But I'm really glad we pushed through and got it done.
I'm happy you enjoyed the game! Short Fuse was amazing, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see it make the Top 100. I guess I'll see you again next year. Haha! 😄
