Bob's Budget Bomb Disposal by Dark Roast Studios

[raw]
made by Dark Roast Studios for LD 42 (COMPO)

A game about decommissioning audinance on a budget! use the arrow keys to steer and space to drop a bomb your carrying, bombs are collected by driving into them.

Bombs come in three classes, Red, Green and Yellow. Each class must placed into the correct machine, red will become green, green will become yellow and yellow will be decommissioned. Machines take time to process bombs.

Bombs are delivered to your receiving bays, each can hold three bombs. If a bay is full when a new delivery drops off then it will expload!

I wrote a post-mortem here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/bobs-budget-bomb-disposal/post-mortem-bobs-budget-bomb-disposal for anyone interested :)

Pretty cool. Dropping the crates is a little frustrating, sometimes inaccurate (it go into the square further away than expected). The conversion mechanic Red->Green->Yellow is a great idea, nice and simple but increases the complexity.

Fun concept! I found it very difficult to control the forklift as I couldn't tell which way was up, but I like mechanics. Nice job.

Nice game with a nice idea. I also found it difficult to control, but overall, it is nice!

I like the idea of having to put the different coloured bombs through different checks and it definitely makes the game hectic as time goes on (which is good for the theme). I didn't like that the truck automatically picked up a bomb I went next to - I would much prefer to press a button to pick up because it is a button press to drop as well (when really it could auto drop the bomb into shoot if it's the correct one). Good job overall!

thanks for the feedback @lastleaf @rillep

@rob-white yeah I nearly changed to a button for picking stuff up, but by that point I didnt really have time to make the changes. Thanks for the feedback!

I really liked it! Could use with a backing track though. Over all well done!

Well done. Gets hard very quickly :). Game was explained well, and I had no trouble playing the game. I do wish there were some soft ambient music in the background, though.

thanks @htmichael yeah backing tracks/music are skills I have yet to master. Would have been better with one for sure, maybe next time :)

I really enjoyed the game. At first it was a bit confusing the way you had to dispose the bombs, though. Maybe movement could be made faster and a game controller would be a nice addition too. Sometimes it was hard for me to control the machine.

While simple, the controls were surprisingly fun! I'd tool around in a more complete version of this.

Excellent Compo submission! The difficulty gets very intense after a while! You did really well!

Really nice lil game. I appreciate the theme used in it, i just suggest improove sound/music could be more attractive. Keep it up pal !

@randdir yeah sound is always a weakness for me, need to work on that! Thanks for the feedback

Cool time management game with very good graphics (especially for a combo game). Music and more sfx would have been nice. If I'd have to name one thing I miss, it would be the big explosion when I eventually mess up! :boom:

That was really challenging but really fun. I would have liked the snapping to be a little more forgiving but it was pretty great anyhow :)

This game is hard, but it's cool. By the way, there is a typo in the game page, "them*e Running out of space" below the game window

@maartene thanks for the feedback, I'll be focusing on better sound next timme, and yeah big explosions can go on the post-compo update list :)

@nathanhoad thanks for playing and leaving feedback :)

@trocentraisin d'oh your right, thanks for pointing that out!

Very difficult, I thought the core premise was pretty good, the forklift (?) moved a bit slow for my taste, too much time spent in transit, and I gladly would have traded control fidelity for speed. I think there's some legs for expanding gameplay, or conversion to a mobile game. Great job!

Very challenging to get all the boxes placed in. I'm glad you have a white square letting me know where I'm going to drop - I think I would have been very lost without that!

The difficulty of the game feels very high.

@cristihkj thanks for playing :)
@occultone @candlesan Yeah I think I may knock the difficulty down a bit if I do an update, thanks for playing and for the feedback!
