Last Second Hero by ghostonline

[raw]
made by ghostonline for LD27 (COMPO)
The game is controlled using the arrow keys. When stuck, press 'R' to detonate the bomb prematurely and restart the level. Note that time only runs while you move, so you can take your time in solving the puzzles.

In this game you play as an unfortunate bomb disposal robot. You are tasked to safely dispose of a few bombs in a local industrial complex. However, for some reason your breaks have started to malfunction, so you are only able to accelerate and rely on your surroundings to slow down (by blindingly smash into it). On top of that, each bomb has only 10 seconds left until detonation. This really just is not your day.

I like it! It reminds me some levels of the pokemon ruby in the last gym hehe. Nice idea for the theme!

Very nice. Reminds me of the board game Ricochet Robot. I completed the game, it's quite challenging but not too hard. I like what you did with the additional elements, and that everything was mostly self-explanatory. Good job. :)

Lovely game! The later levels felt easier than the first levels, actually.

Good : Nice little puzzle game. Nice graphics and transitions.
Bad : Levels are a bit simple. The "R" button doesn't work on Opera/Mac

Hello! The game is very well done. It feels finished, the minimalistic pixel art has that retro vibe and the sounds compliment it nicely. I love the attention you've given to detail with the moving bomb eyes and the small particle effects together with screen shaking. It gives the robot impact a really nice feel to it.

Not being an avid puzzle player i find the levels challenging enough to be interesting too :)

Nice use of theme in solving the puzzle. I was also trying something similar at first but it never occurred to me not to count time when you are not moving. Thats a good strategy!

Nice work man! Finished it and thought it was great. Nice minimalistic style, simple puzzles and enough different features to keep even the short 11 levels interesting. Very solid entry!

Great challenging, wish it could have been a little longer, it looked like at the last few levels you were just beginning to add in new elements and things :D

Awesome puzzle game! Definitely a great take on classic mechanics!
Art is just as much as needed, robot acceleration is fun to watch.
Great job!

Great puzzle game! Reminded me of "Fling". You should release it for mobile! :)
But it's true that the last levels are actually easier than the first ones.
