Hah! Brilliant! Reminds me of what I loved from "The Button" on Reddit, but in reverse?

Very original idea. Got the fuse over 30ft. Guess I can call that a win? :)

What a great idea! I love it! I can't wait to see how many times the bomb blows up by the end of the jam! :upside_down:

I really like the online aspect of it and how simple the mechanics are. The graphics are really nice. I see that someone is watching me play it... guess that is you? I have been waiting for someone to ignite it so I can put it out lol.

I really like seeing things that aren't necessarily games in LD. Cool idea!

A unique take on the theme. I wonder if a leaderboard (or a wanted board) would be interesting to spur engagement as much of the fun is when others are online as well. Explosions to length of wick burned would be an interesting statistic. Or if visitors have limited butane/CO2 to ignite/extinguish with.

Agreed, this is probably the most unique take on the theme yet. Instead of delaying the inevitable-game-mechanic, you're delaying the inevitable human desire. TECHNICALLY.........we could go through this entire jam proving you wrong, but that would've been utterly impossible to achieve.

..I suppose someone out there could run a clickerbot that constantly extinguishes. I'm not sure what will happen in that case with your code. Maybe if enough saboteurs banned together they could overrun said bot.

Nice concept! Too bad that there will not be many people playing at the same time, I would be curious to see how it goes! I actually launched it in multiple browsers to see if it works, and it does :p

The visuals are very nice, that bomb is so cute! Would have been awesome to have some sound effects!

Cool entry!

What a genius idea! The design of the lil bomb guy is great, and the whole interface is very clean looking. Some sfx like an explosion and a nice tssssssss for the fuse would be some easy improvements. Great job!

This game was pretty cool, but there's just not enough people.

Love the idea! Graphics are very nice and the animations on the bomb's face as the fuse burned down was a nice touch!

I think some sound effects might have helped make the game feel a bit more immersive.

Had to open it in two browsers to experience the multiplayer part. Would love to see the chaos of a ton of people playing at once.

The concept is really cool, I wish it was playable alone too.
