Bosses & Bombs

Can you stand your ground before it gets blown away or will your boss fire you for playing at work?

This is my first every jam and I may have bit off a little more than I could chew this time. I would up getting stumped on a bug where balloon bombs could not be destroyed so they would just wind up going straight through the crates and wrecking all of them along the way down to a death plan.

The jist of the theme that I was going for was that for every wave you go through, your bomb arrow gets stronger and stronger. To the point that shooting a balloon close to the ground would start to become dangerous as you progress. On top of that your boss would keep making the rounds to see you every period of time. He would see that you would be working so well that he would promote you everytime but would find more and more reasons to come to see your progress since you you keep making him happier! Next time Jam though, I think I'm going to just stick to one mechanic satisfying the theme :sweat_smile:

There is a bug in the game at the moment where the cursor will not unlock on the game over screen so you'll wind up having to close it out via the task bar.

Overall, I would say this Jam was a success for me since I wasn't too sure how I'd do in just 72 hours and I had some fun!

I do not get money for mentioning it... ;-) But this video helped me a lot to finish my game this time...

LD 39 I had a realy nice and fancy idea... But couldn't finish... This time (LD40) I did it the other way around... Simple gameplay and then the nice and fancy things... Ok - it's just a tetris clone but I broke the curse of not finishing in time ;-)
