Bomb Time! by CogComp

made by CogComp for LD25 (COMPO)

Bomb Time!

You play Alfred the evil bug who doesn't like they happy integrated circuits. Alfred is intent on killing them all using his special logic bombs, but he can't get too close, so he has to deliver them using the natural route, which passes antivirus protection and other obstacles.

Remember you're the villain! Help Alfred rid the computer world of these pesky happy chips!

I didn't have time to make a lot of levels, but if you do get stuck, just hit 'b' to skip a level.

Download the "Windows with Redist dependencies" version if you get the "MSVCP110.dll is missing" problem

It's an interesting idea, but unfortunately pretty frustrating to play. My biggest problem is that the length of time holding the mouse to set a bomb is so different from the actual detonation time of the bomb, making it incredibly difficult to time your attacks in the game. I ended up just guessing at the approximate charge and sending as many bombs as possible just to hit the chip.

Also, the graphics with everything on the screen moving so much at a fairly low frame rate, I started to get a headache. I think the animation needs to be smoother or the patterns toned down a bit.
