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.\r\r@Orni & @olafurw - I agree, the camera is something I would I like to improve upon.\r\r@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."},{"author_name":"Dir3kt","author_uid":"12434","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 7:50pm","epoch":1377719100,"text":"Fun game!

The first time I inadvertently burst through a wall like the Kool-Aid guy I nearly fell over laughing. That was a hilarious feature. The voice-over was a nice touch too.\r\rOccasionally 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.\r\rLovely game!"},{"author_name":"GaTechGrad","author_uid":"19778","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 1:31am","epoch":1377739560,"text":"@BlennosoftGames - I didn't think about Kool-Aid man. That's too funny.\r\rHonestly, I really only wanted the blocks to move if they are hit by a bomb.

I'm sorry that you didn't find any friends - the hints were pretty subtle, but I guess that's what 48 hours without much time for playtesting do to you. Hope you still enjoyed it a bit!\r\rA 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!"}],"images":["ld27\/19778-8c815d2ef487c1dd85ce920c384eb4fc.jpg","ld27\/19778-095c9769704938d584ff5dd28628f560.jpg","ld27\/19778-2cefb788e65a933e0aaa74d13b4ea748.jpg","ld27\/19778-0c5b90f10abda346fed4c925a83e7651.jpg","ld27\/19778-aaf61677d140da9496f7268a9b85f7d9.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.levidsmith.com\/ld\/ld27","text":"Web Unity"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.levidsmith.com\/ld\/ld27\/BombSquad.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.levidsmith.com\/ld\/ld27\/BombSquad.tar.gz","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.levidsmith.com\/ld\/ld27\/BombSquad_mac.zip","text":"Mac OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I80GQoIyRa8","text":"Time-lapse Video"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"22784","g_author":"19778","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"22814","g_title":"Bomb Squad","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"596","g_commentcount":"33","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/19778-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/19778-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/19778-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/19778-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/19778-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Best played with a gamepad.\r\n\r\nEvil terrorists are spreading bombs across the the city.
