Bomb Fuse Madness by svntax



You're trapped in a facility with an experiment gone wrong! A huge bomb keeps creating fuses out of thin air, and there's no end to them! Try to delay the bomb from exploding for as long as you can.

Just one thing I'm not sure about, it looks like the shredder stopped working after a while in the web build so I wanted to ask whether that's something intentional or not.
The rope physics are a bit frustrating, I suppose it matters where you grab the fuse but given the move speed of the character, I found I had a lot less agency than I'd hoped over things. Especially before the shredder pops up.
Overall lots of stuff to do and mechanics at play. Nice work!
Two things that should be easy to address but have a big positive effect:
-The collision for the shredder extends notably far below the sprite, which makes an already tight area really hard and unintuitive to navigate.
-The length of time the shredder is off for felt too long to me. The game, in keeping with the theme, does a good job of building tension and making the player panic (in a good way) as they get closer to an inevitable end, but I think this was one area where it's tuned a little too harshly.
I really enjoyed it on a second and third playing, once I knew all the mechanics and quirks. It was fun and felt intense to play towards the end! Great job!
That said, it’s a really clever concept and I actually would be interested in a version with some kinks ironed out.
