It's not difficult but it's a fantastic mechanic. I love the trial and error and not having any sort of 'shot' counter that's a little too common in explosion physics puzzlers. Especially in the last set, being able to tweak my chain reaction by tenths of a second and quick resets was a stress-free brain exercise.

This was really good game, specially i liked that earth part on this game. nice idea man, i really give you respect for creativeness.

I liked the fact the bombs stayed where you put them so if some explosions worked and others didn't you were only concerned with moving the ones that didn't work 5/5 :)

Clever and intuitive puzzles, original mechanics, variety in puzzles...this is one of the best puzzle games I've ever played on Kong.

best part of the game? no 5 second "checking....." at the end of the level to see if you did it or not, it knows instantly once it's been beaten

It bothered me a little that you included levels outside of the earth set that relied heavily on timing, but it didn't bother me enough to discourage me from playing. Beyond that, this is what puzzle games should be like: simple in their concept, but creative in their execution.

@squidsquid: I consider it a cheap tactic because it makes doing what you did in the previous levels harder for no reason. He doesn't add any real depth. i found where to place the bombs for most levels on the first go, but i just kept resetting because instead of clicking i had to guess how long i needed the fuses to me. The mechanic itself is fine, but i don't feel it fits with the rest of the game. if anything it should have been in from the very start so you would have had time to make more intricate puzzles that take advantage of a delayed explosive.
The idea is that many of the Earth levels require a precise sequence of timing, or 2 or more bombs that need to be exploded at nearly the same time. This would be impossible (or extremely difficult) without the timed bombs. So the timed bombs allow for different types of puzzle in my opinion. You may be interested to know that the original plan was that all bombs would be timed. After playtesting I realized this was overly fiddly and many levels did not require the precise timing - so the timed bombs were saved for one level set only. I do agree there's not a strong thematic connection between Earth and timed bombs, but most people don't seem to mind ;)

The timed bombs feel like a very artificial way to make the game difficult and doesn't feel right for the game. if there had been real difficulty in the final stage, it would have been 4/5, but because of the cheap tactic, 3/5.

I do think the timing out needs a bit of adjustment in air levels - for instance, I'm currently on level eight, and it keeps failing me when just a few seconds longer would complete it. Otherwise, quite a good game :)

Good Game i like the elemental theme, and i'd like to know where i can buy some of that grass that never catches on fire. Good Job! :)

This is a puzzle game of perfect difficulty . While many levels need you to refine timings and retry, it doesnt ever become so boring that you quit .

I loved this game. I found the idea of level sets to be brilliant. It stopped the game from going stale like many other puzzle types do. I rarely post comments but this game is well deserving of one. Thank you for making this.

Dang my fail ignore the first post
The first time I did the earth levels and found out it was timed bombs. That is different. brought a big smile to my face. First game in while to do that. 5/5

The first time I did the Fire levels and found out it was timed bombs. That is different. brought a big smile to my face. First game in while to do that. 5/5

This is the BEST puzzle game on kongregate. If I had kreds,I would donate them. Sorry I don't have any. But good game! I LOVED IT! I agree with Rastilles review.

Great game but many times the game has ended the level even though I was just about to finish, which is kind of annoying.

Excellent game! I really like the timed bomb element. My only complaint is that the game felt a bit too short! I'll take more content any day! =)
