You have 10 seconds to defuse the bomb! Cut the correct wire in time, or the bomb goes BOOM!

Tracing the wires in 10 seconds alerted me. If you continue to develop this, have you considered gradually introducing the tangles?

Thanks for playing!

@ethankennerly: I actually tried to gradually introduce the tangles and ramp up the difficult as you go. The first few levels only have 1 curve in them, then more curves are added as you play to make it harder. The problem is that there's a big different between 1 and 2 curves, but then less of a difference between having 2 and 3 curves, even less for 3 or 4 curves, etc. It's an interesting problem though.

Cool locking game but sound would be nice :)

It would be better if the wires didn't have sharp kinks. That should be possible if they're made out of cubic Bezier curves.

Good game though, I got 180653 on my third try :)

Thanks everybody!

I agree that sound would be nice, it just didn't happen.

@HeroesGrave: the same kind of crazy person who leaves exploding red barrels next to groups of enemies in every shooting game! :D

@Kramin42- they are indeed cubic Bezier curves, and I did try to get rid of the kinks, but this is the best I could come up with. I'd be interested to hear how you'd do it!

Makes me want to join the bomb squad. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I enjoyed this game. Nice one Kevin!

Nice little game. Seems easier than it is at first, which is great! Some sounds like ticking and a scissor sound when cutting would be cool.

Fun entry, quite hard sometimes when ALL the cables is like a ball in the middle :P

This could be a really good mobile game if you polish it more =)Sound is definitely needed.

Nice and sweet game, short and to the point. The lack of sound is a great disservice to this game, but other than that I really liked it!

Have a video review :-)
