Short description:
A big wave of 10 seconds time bombs are going to kill that cute rabbit, you must save him.

Story:
Lollipop is a small happy rabbit who lives in a field with his family. Suddenly, a war started in the area and two different opponents are fighting each other with timer bombs (or explosive pineapples) and it becomes harder and harder.
Unfortunately, Lollipop's family died in the war, now he must survive to revenge his family (maybe some day he will kill the responsible of this war, who knows).

Features:
The main player is a cute rabbit.
Multiple SCOREBOARDS !!!!!
Multiple game modes (10 seconds wave or continuous)
Options menu (Try the explosive pineapples!)
Music

How to run:
java -jar timebomb.jar

All versions are available here: https://bitbucket.org/rephus/timebomb/downloads

If you have a small screen resolution you can resize the screen, the aspect ratio is made for phones.

How to play:
Click at any place of the screen to guide Lollipop (the rabbit).
Stay away from the bombs.
Stay away from the borders of the screen (a bomb could suddenly appear).

Credits:
Developed using LibGdx,
Most of the graphics are handmade using Gimp (bomb and pineapple sprite donwloaded from Openclipart)
Sounds made with CFXR.
The music has been generated with autotracker.

Update:
I have just uploaded a web version, available here: http://www.coconauts.net/timebomb/

If you hit the scoreBoard, leave a comment

Have fun =)

Cute game, I like the sprite of the rabbit :) The main menu seem a little buggy on my laptop. When I clicked on the text, nothing happened, but if I click a little under the text, the game started

Thanks. About the main menu, that happened to me in Mac and I fix it moving or resizing the screen. It didn't happen when I was using a smaller resolution, so I think I should change it again.

Nice work! Cute graphics and more polish than usual for games of this type. Works fine for me.

Cool game. Difficulty seem to be well adjusted, it's nice. I would like more bomb types !

Neat little game. Gets a bit boring after a while though.

Simple but very effective ... I like it.

Very fun game. However, there were two things that could be better.

1. The game screen was excessively tall. It didn't fit on my laptop screen.
2. The most common cause of death was a bomb spawning right on top of the bunny, making m unable to save him.

pl0xz0rz for 1, if you are using the html5 version, just zoom out the browser

My rabbit got to eat a lot of carrots while dodging those pineapples. ;)

I had to use the web version, as both of the .jar files quickly open grey windows and close them. Very quickly.

I would have liked to control the rabbit with the keyboard instead of the mouse. Still it is a cute game and it is quite nice.

Thank you everyone for your comments . I will release a new version of this game after ludum dare so I really appreciate your suggestions.

@pl0xz0rz sorry about the screen size, that's why I uploaded two different jar versions with different sizes, however, you can still resize the game window to fit your screen in java, and as @manuq said, you can zoom out the html5 version too. You are right about the most common cause of death, I suggest you stay away from the borders of the screen, I will improve that on the new version.

@hypp nice suggestion, it didn't occur to me

@NuSan at first I wanted to add more bomb types, but I thought that the key of this game is that is "simple", but I will keep your suggestion in mind for the new version.
