Cool idea to make a game where you want to get caught! Very nice art, music, and gameplay! The scoring system is also a great way to give it replay value.
I found it a little odd that the bombs explode after a certain amount of time, not a certain amount of turns, just since everything else is turn-based. I also was scrambling away so I wouldn’t get caught in the explosion, before I realized bombs don’t hurt you :). That could be a cool mechanic though if you wanted to expand on this!
I found myself doing the same thing when playtesting it! I think it could totally be explained better for sure, but ultimately time constraints really limited us. I think it would be cool to have bombs be like bomberman, exploding after 3 moves or so with a blast radius. Thank you for playing and giving feedback! I'm glad you had fun.
The bomb mechanic is where everyone just kind of went all over the place in how they understood it. I really should have added another tutorial page for them in hindsight, but hey what can you do?
And THANK you for acknowledging how we used the theme, I was super proud of what Steve and I came up with in regard to that. We struggled to make that fit narratively, but we made it work!
Enjoyed this a lot. I think the difficulty is just right; you can complete most levels after a few tries. Really nice game! Good job! :)
My only nitpick is that I found the text a bit hard to read on the instructions screen.
Wow. So much effort toward polish for a game jam. Like Deylz said, I'm glad you took a bit more time to get this to the state that it's in. I agree with the others that it's would've been better to introduce mechanics through gameplay rather than a text dump but honestly I skipped the tutorial and the mechanics all became self explanatory pretty quickly. Overall, very well done. I'm very impressed!
I'm glad you took a little bit time extra to deliver this complete and quite polished experience.
Sure the tutorial could have been incorporated more smoothly, but this is a level of polish I simply don't expect from a gamejam, especially not one that is this tight on the dev-time. On the contrary I'm glad you made the effort to implement a tutorial.
I really like your art style, but I wished the teleporters would have been better distinguishable.
Overall I think you delivered a nice and clever game.
Thank you so much! It's always my goal to make every game I develop as polished as I can (within reason of course), so it means a ton when someone acknowledges this. Trust me, this game wouldn't be as polished as it is had I not gotten Steve on board for the artwork. Thanks for playing and for your kind words!
Nice entry! Sure your development time was over, but the art and music are great and the puzzles are good too. In a more flushed out version it would probably be easier for the player to have each mechanic introduced separately instead of all at once in the text dump at the beginning. Still fun to play though! I averaged 2 stars across the board.
