This is so cool conceptually. One of my favorite parts of the game is considering how I am going to move the house to the present, great use of physics here. The graphical polish is great, I love watching the debris from the bomb coat the level while sending entire buildings across the level. About the only thing I think is missing is some sound, (couldn't hear any on HTML5), but the music is more than adequate and gives the game an upbeat vibe. You've got a great entry here. :thumbsup:

What an amazing and fun game! Such a unique and easy to pick up mechanic! I found the strategy of spamming a lot of little bombs and then watching for chaos to deliver the package to be not the most cost effective, but the most fun for sure.
Small suggestion is to make soundtrack like a global object, so it's not gettings reseted every time you restart or open new level.
Well done!

The music and sound effect are fitting the game so well.
The visual and style are so cute !
The gameplay is simple, fun and addictive. Who doesn't like explosion everywhere !

You got an amazing game ! :thumbsup:

A very nice idea! Lovely art as well. In some levels I didn't understand how I could pass them, so I ended up just spamming new bombs, which worked like 50% of the time. Maybe a more gradual level progression would be nice, so that the player slowly learns how to use the bombs mechanic to solve various puzzles.

Levels 9 and 10 are impossible for me to do, but it was very cool to see shooting everywhere :)

@mavvy I'm happy you like it ^^! And indeed, I did't have enough time to create ideal VFXs so there is only background music. (I was busy on academic stuffs and I did't make up my mind to participate LD53 until the second day)

@lisyarus Yeah the design of those levels are not soild enough. Therefore it feels more like a relaxing bomb game than a physic puzzle game.

Actually there are some advanced techniques such as drawing a cannon to launch forward the second bomb. You can briefly control the direction by drawing different shapes. (This is the designed technique for some hard levels). Spamming bombs is indeed a practical strategy, but the result is far more chaotic XD.

The minimal version of this cannon technique requires only 2 bombs. Just watching the bomb fuse to burn and put down the second bomb at a right timing. (The keypoint is that you can never boost an existing bomb since they explode earlier than new ones)

I was planning to added more bomb types and tutorial levels, as well as online leader boards. But I didn't have time to implement those stuffs.

@moebiusmeow Yeah, I figured the two bombs technique, but I guess I failed to master it - in some levels the second bomb never went the way I wanted it to :)

I love this game, my favorite of the submissions I've played so far. I wish there were some explosion/placing sound effects, but otherwise this game is perfect. It's funny, art is clean, pleasant, and consistent, and I mean c'mon, I can draw arbitrarily shaped bombs -- amazing.

Also I love levels 9 & 10 (not sure if this is how they were supposed to be done)

Really cool game! The concept was really clever, the physics felt good, and the art was great. I wasn't really picking up any good strategies so the most effective strategy for me was to just spam haha. I made it to level 9 before my spamming skills were ineffective. Great work!

Brilliant entry! I had a blast with this. Need I say more? ;)

@ollie-d Thanks! And for the level 9 & 10, yes indeed, this is what that pit for. The "proper" way to solve these 2 levels is bomb boosting but it can be quite challenging to control. Instead, I left this pit on the ceiling and those who notices it would find an "Aha moment".

@fusionnist I'm glad that you like it! You've got even better score than me in some levels XD

I have to say that the graphics are over the top. Really nice job over there. Gameplay is fun.
LDJam user 3368512 May 2023, 18:10
Insanely good game with fun challenge! maybe the bomb could use a sound effect or something similar to indicate when to time the next bomb, also building big bombs in the menu is very fun

Quite a relaxing game blowing things up, although some of the levels are quite difficult.

Great little game! I really like the idea of delivering packages with bombs :D ! The atmosphere is calm, and it makes you scratch your head a bit to figure out how to deliver the packages! Congratulations on this game.

Really fun. Quite addicting gameplay. Sometime when desperation set in it's nice to just spam a ton of bombs to see if that somehow made the situation better :)

This is wonderfully chaotic and innovative! I love the background music too and the little cat shape cloud for added fun detail.

Very unique overall! I'm quite impressed. Got stuck halfway through but enjoyed every second!

像素艺术的处理是完美的,而不是简单粗暴地用了一个模仿像素风格的贴图,非常感谢你分享了源码!物理效果也给了一个非常愉悦的反馈;以及玩法的设计非常创新和有趣!不过如果能加入一些爆炸以及撞击之类的音效就好了
