this is a banger! I love how this character's whole existence revolves around pipe bombs.
Also you've really done the point n click genre justice - navigating felt great!

The backdrops looked great! Sometimes it was a little difficult to figure out where a click would send me, perhaps a different cursor or some cursor text would help

This game is mildly terrifying, lmao. Really love the muted, eerie sound design. Really solid submission, even if there's not too much gameplay-wise.

Interesting interpretation of the theme. The visuals were good. I did have some trouble finding the gunpowder though

From looking at the pictures I was not expecting a point-n-click game. Very good job with the visuals! Not sure why this was your go to for a delivery game though haha.

A very reasonable way of solving the noisy neighbor problem 10/10. Also loved to see Myst-like point and click at Lududm Dare. More puzzles would have been nice :)

@cheesepencil that's the plan every LD, then I attempt to do it and give up :D

Jokes aside, maybe I'll get around to it some day. Its not really as simple as clicking a button with a custom engine

My brainstorming didn't go here so well done on the unique approach to the theme. I really enjoyed the visuals, it was a solid and impressive collection of pipes. The music really fit the narrative well. I think one constructive piece of feedback would be making the click zones a bit easier to navigate/find.

Graphics looked really great! I appreciated how the music got louder the closer you got to the house. The navigation was kind of strange at first but I got the hang of it pretty quick. Reminded me a lot of Myst. The puzzle solving was a nice touch.

Wow amazing! Didn't play too many point and click adventures in LD games. Amazing graphics too. The music getting louder the closer you get is a great touch. Great job! One of my favorites I played so far :).

I have a bit of an unusual issue, the game crashes on launch for me for some reason, the terminal says "creating window 'ludum dare 53'" and then "window created successfully" then crashes, I'm using Windows 7 btw and it's not a anti-virus issue, not sure what causes this but it's a shame I can't try out this game

Point-and-click games (with custom a engine) FTW!!! :metal:

@0x-void-x0 That's certainly odd... The windows build of the game is compiled with x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-posix (quite a mouthful, I know) on Linux, so maybe there's some missing library or something. Thanks for letting me know though, I'll add this to my TODO list to check out.

Would be nice if the arrows changed directions to represent how you're gonna move :)
