Bomb Ninjas by Thiago Nascimento
This was supposed to be a compo game, but I missed the deadline =(
Took this oportunity to learn something new, and that is Unity + Photon PUN!
It took me two days to get the lobby working and I had only one day to finish the game. You will see that there is no polish at all, apart from the main character model.
I am very happy with the result and if I had more time things I would do would be: -Polish the visuals and add sound; -Make bombs bounce off walls; -Study and implement more effective lag compensation methods;
YOU WILL NEED SOMEONE TO PLAY AGAINST YOU - Just create a room and wait for someone to join. Photon PUN free servers only support 20 players at a time (like 20 people would gather to play a silly LD Game haha)

The art style is super cute, the ninjas (and their little bums) are super polished and I can't believe you made this an online game. I do wish the environment had the same level of detail to it. Incredible job though overall. Can't wait to see more people playing this!!
It was also too difficult to hit people imo but maybe I just gotta git gud. Other players certainly did manage to kill me lol.
One time I died and just stayed dead for a long time -- so I don't know if there are lives that run out and then you need to wait longer or what?
I think it could use a lot more UI - like "[player1] killed [player2]" or "[player1] exploded themselves" would make a huge difference. A re-spawn timer would be really good too, so it's not such a surprise when you come back.
When you die you will respawn after only one player is left alive (A score count should exist as well hehehe)
@cozygamepals thanks, it was really ambitious, specially because I had no prior experience with it. But hey, jams are for learning right?
We enjoyed playing your game, maybe cause of these sweety characters. Gameplay isn't complex, so it may be dull after few minutes, but I understand you didn't have time to add more features.
Networking works pretty well.
Maybe it would be useful if there will be chat in lobby.
Scoreboard could be nice.
Of cause there is lack of audio (music or just simple sfx), but you know it ;)
