This reminds me of the old Mac shareware game BOOM, which is a (very well made) Bomberman clone with Doom assets. I would recommend anyone who likes Doom or Bomberman to try it!

Damn this hit me in a weird spot. The game looks fun, but the fact that you said "i cannot code" and managed to pull this off with sloppy ai is really scary.

I know this is just fun and games, but i cant even start to imagine what the code is like.

I'm honestly impressed. I've seen many early games where countless concepts were tried (with mixed results) and you've found something entirely new with extra points for it's extreme simplicity.

Am I the only one who finds in bad taste to use "Epstein victims demand release ..." in the game? Is rape and pedophilia already normalized and I didn't notice?

It is a part of life, why shouldn’t it be in games? Does it cease existing if you don’t see it?

It is absolutely wild seeing people who do not know how to code building and shipping computer games. This kind of language is fascinating/terrifying: > I assume doing all this computationally is more processor-intensive than using pre-rendered monsters, but it’s very smooth for me on both desktop and phone, so it must not be too intensive. I guess I’ll hear from people if it’s choppy on their device. I think the nat…

The Photographerizationing of software engineering has come.

Cracked me up for some reason. Thanks for the laugh!!

I just Doomscrolled 1878 meters and killed 3482 monsters. How far can you get?

Great game! Few impressions of the gameplay - Way easier on laptop compared to mobile; the monsters still spawn at the bottom of the viewport so you can camp at the top much further away on a laptop - The game almost gets easier the more powered up you get. To make it more challenging you could consider speeding up the lava at the top
