10-Second Bomb Squad by SpeakWithPlants

[raw]
made by SpeakWithPlants for Ludum Dare 51 (COMPO)

Introduction

Welcome to the Squad! Use your mouse to rewire these explosive devices so they don't detonate when the timer reaches 0. You'll know if you've done it incorrectly.

Take 10 seconds to familiarize yourself with the example explosive device below. Don't take longer than that. Trust me.

I really like the idea for this one! Such a simple design, and it pays off. Nicely done.

I quite like this one, very well designed puzzles with simple mechanics made hard by time pressure. It looks great and I like the way that the wires are drawn, they work well. The only complaint I have is that after messing up a later bomb several times I wish there was a way to skip the timer on bombs that I knew I had solved, maybe some disarm button that triggered it as if the timer had run out. Overall a great game, well done!

interesting! I like the use of logic gates, it's fun to work out the flow under time pressure. It took me a while to actually understand how it all works, but it's very clever once it all clicks into place

I absolutely love the graphics and the audio is minimal but good. The interpretation of the theme is pretty cool, though it is pretty easy to just unplug everything without thinking too much. I think it would be cool if you had to plug the wires back in somewhere or the bomb would explode.

Brutal when you die and have to start all over again! Great theme, art, sfx. Really well done

I thought this was great - totally fits the theme, nice colour palette, simple to pick up, but fun to play repeatedly!

Graphics and audio are fire. However I didn't get why I can't just unplug everything that's unpluggable? It seems to solve any task, but this solution is trivial =\

I love the graphics, too bad it's so short :(

Awesome grafics, sound creates tension, very good, unfortunately you can just undo the plugs without plugin in them anywhere and level is complete. So just don't do that! Try to find a solution!

wait a minute ,,So I just pull off the line connected with the TNT and game passed ?? I like the game art style ,line curve and game logic,,,but I feels confused and not know some design about and lighting ,,,,but this is a very nice game design and I hope you will work on this with more time and desiagn more levels ,,,and I believe this will be a nice game ,,,good job man

The simple graphic style works really well ! But I am not sure to have understood the gameplay, if you just deconnect the TNT and put the wire anywhere you will win super easily every level ?
This make really every logic gate useless unfortunately.

I found a bug! If you keep a wire at the end of the time you can connect it to the other bomb and so on. This is another way to play ? :laughing:

This can be a very good game! The graphics are great. Simple, focused on the essential :thumbsup:

Nicely made game. The only thing I would like is to have a restart on the same puzzle. I now have to do all the others before ending up on the one that I was killed by.
So many deaths......... I'm not cut out to be in the bomb-squad.

Well done!

Having to wait for the timer to run down is a bit of a drag, and I wish I could replay the mission I died on!

But the concept is great, and the logic is a very neat addition!

I think this is great, my only grip is having to start from the beginning when I fail which is a bit annoying.

Awesome idea and really well executed! I think one possible improvement could be to automatically move to the next bomb when one is successfully defused, but at the same time I can understand that the anxiety of knowing whether you've defused it correctly sort of plays into the theme. Would love to see you expand this idea with even more levels!
