Bomb Squad by GaTechGrad
Best played with a gamepad.
Evil terrorists are spreading bombs across the the city. These bombs are set to explode in ten seconds. It is your job as a member of the elite bomb squad to disable them and save the city!
Cut the wire that matches the color of the bomb to disable it.
Cutting the wrong wire will make the bomb explode.
Your suit will take damage from exploding bombs. When your suit reaches 0% the game is over.
Exploding bombs will damage objects, which will add to the property damage. Try to achieve a low property damage value.
Source is in the Windows package.

I like the idea and this is a decent execution of it :)
About the game, good idea, although it took me a while to notice the disarm buttons (no gamepad here). Maybe you could show them on the load page, or similar?
lots of fun - although the camera angle/movement could be improved
well done :)
@michail - Thanks for noticing. It's sort of a running theme in my games, and it all started with my first XBox Live Indie Game "Resistor", where it plays "Lev-Lev-Level Complete" after each stage.
@Orni & @olafurw - I agree, the camera is something I would I like to improve upon.
@ddionisio - Glad that you were able to enjoy it with a keyboard and mouse! Each mouse button (left, middle/wheel, and right) should correspond to one of the colors. I'll make sure to disable the right click popup in a future release.
Occasionally when two different colored bombs spawned really close together it would try to disarm both, and blow one up, other than that quite fair, and solid.
Lovely game!
Honestly, I really only wanted the blocks to move if they are hit by a bomb. I'll need to do some more tweaking to the physics engine setting to make the blocks not move when hit by the player, but it sounds like people are having fun the way it is.

I thought it was funny.
The controls are a bit hard with the keyboard. You should port this to the Ouya. Good game.
I like the concept :)

A game that uses gamepads? Great! There aren't enough of those in my opinion, especially because Unity makes that so easy. It was super hard to match the buttons to the colors though - I mean they have the colors, sure, but my finger doesn't know that! After a while it got easier, but still, my best percentage was 60%. The voice over was a pretty nice touch!
