ITS GANNA BLOW - Bomb Squad Academy Gameplay Impressions

[@infernus6278]

Buzzer wasnt really optional :)

[@Chrono_Mitsurugi]

LOL Splattercat, that buzzer was NOT optional. That switch would either send power to detonate or the buzzer.

[@Deaconfrost2100]

The timing of the "big red button" was perfect!

[@NLTops]

You got me to buy this game. I love logic puzzles and these seem really fun. Btw on split the current level (18:13) the hint of "splitting the current" is about two little tricks hidden in this level. Here is the logical analysis: The input comes in on two "lanes" (one for each rotary in the first column). The output requires 4 lanes to disable A, B and C (because B is connected to an AND gate. The signal must be split twice to make this happen. For the top, this is done by routing the signal along the bottom, allowing it to reach the fork in the white lane. One goes to A, one powers B's AND gate input 1. For the bottom, the fork is hidden (as a wire you called shifty on your first try), the wire takes the current to B's AND gate input 2, whilst the white path underneath it continues to power C. You did not have to snip the top wire, but I think it's a good idea to, given your propensity to just start flicking rotaries :P As always love your content. In the "Buzzer May Activate When in Use" level, you did have to add the buzzer. Or it woulda boomed.

You know, you may have said it was a game not many people will be interested in, but this indefinitely will be watched and played as much as any other game you take the time to check out.

[@ipo732]

Did anyone else feel satisfied that the wires would cut where you would click... That little attention to detail makes this game for me.

[@trophosphere]

I'm at work designing electronic circuits for medical devices and watching splat play this game at the same time. What a world we live in.

[@juddcarreon9236]

I loved how he just beelined to the red button and killed himself XD

[@VipermanSBD]

Back in my Yoot, we had Bomb Squad on the Intellivision. This game just jacked it to a whole nother level!

[@w01fcvbnozombiegaming79]

We love your effort Spattercat

[@pcppbadminton]

Somebody set up us the bomb.

[@locoluck777]

Thank you for the gameplay review. This is game immensely fun to play and is a great game for brain training.

[@wbartyna]

Thanks for that one, love puzzle game! And you dont have to prove you are smart. I know that you are, that's why I like to watch your videos :)

[@pubcollize]

They should add the ability to solder wires, but it takes 20 seconds and blocks your view of the board.

[@natanoj16]

I love the expression "Foster Clock"... Especially since Foster means Embryo in my language (Danish) xD

[@ivyscripting7240]

I’m not going to lie I’m really loving this game. It feels like the kind of thing I’d just pick up whenever I’m bored and want to do something fun, though perhaps I’m just weird 😅

[@DigbyCCeasar]

Love this game, have for ages, and it's really fun watching someone fun and enthusiastic like you do a play-through of it. I know it's a short game (although it did get a recent update with more puzzles), but it would be enjoyable to watch you play along some more, to when it starts getting REALLY complicated! PS - (personal aside, and only because it's my one real bugbear and I give my kids hell for it all of the time *sigh) - you cannot do something "on accident" any more than you could do something "by purpose." I know it's becoming common parlance, but it is really jarring when people say it. Sorry man, it's just a tip not a critique. I love your content no matter what. :)

[@PhoenixNL72-DEGA-]

@15:06 Well in real life you would have just removed the battery(or put something non conductive like a piece of paper or cardbord between the battery and the contact), at the top right, from the device to defuse the system! XD

[@Alexander_Sannikov]

lol @ that AMD reference on all the AND gates

[@solipsist20]

Seemed like you were having fun. Cool game.

[@Hybban]

It's nice and fun game! Thanks for showcasing it.

[@ArunasPupelis]

Good game. More of this please

[@ArunasPupelis]

I'm going to be a electrician so it's pretty interesting to see this game

[@simonvannarath]

[@kingwafflemonger5703]

Yay Splats, king of defusing!

[@torkdork69]

Lolz on the non optional buzzer. Cool game though for sure.

[@KhaosElement]

Splatty, over explaining the hell out of some easy ass solutions.

[@serenityrose9674]

...I disarmed that bomb on accident... hold on... :) :) very entertained :) :)

[@Gunjamed]

This is a oldie but good game

[@dev6rehab666]

just turn the detonation one off first and then flip all the other ones on really fast.

[@Diluted37]

"I clicked that on purpose" Aight shure u did

[@HelixMantis]

Single player "keep talking". I'm good with this, my friends hated working with me!

[@alex4alexn]

wow, buying this game

[@vannoo67]

Splatty, you kill me.

Live with this game?

[@mdb45424]

basic electronic engineering ;3 now imagine this game without the tracker paths, thats how real bomb defusers do it

[@Manzarch]

More please I really liked the game, and please do another Merchant life please love the game.

[@Jacob_Proto]

fun one!

[@Chrono_Mitsurugi]

Splattercat solves a puzzle completely by LUCK while trying to purposely detonate it. Says its an intuitive puzzle. Classic Splatty.

[@LuisMartinez-vu1fj]

[@Diluted37]

This game legit should be sold to computer engineering students.

[@milanstevic8424]

why?

[@Diluted37]

@@milanstevic8424 Its a joke. The game teaches you in the tutorial how to use switches, logic gates, etc.

[@milanstevic8424]

@@Diluted37 thank god it was a joke then. because it has almost nothing to do with real computer engineering, and in fact, the game authors are well aware of this and have provided a disclaimer in the main menu.

Comment and like for comments' and likes' sake

[@davor340]

Reminds me of "The incredible machine"

[@milanstevic8424]

The incredible machine was a sandbox puzzle about Rube Goldberg machines with cartoony elements. And this game is a time-based bomb-defusing game with simplified circuitry and gate logic. So other than being a puzzle game, where's the resemblance??

That game music. Pretty sure it's using generic copyright free music. I've heard that same song in another game : Either in this one store.steampowered.com/app/385250/ or this one store.steampowered.com/app/642650/

Lol discord mention

[@MrNovaStreams]

I'm already angry that they start off the game with incomplete circuit diagrams.

[@milanstevic8424]

ah so you're the reason for the phat disclaimer at the bottom of title screen

[@MrNovaStreams]

@@milanstevic8424 Oh shit. Wouldn't call that phat, but completely missed it. Guess they got me there. It's still a entertaining game. It just irks me on that one part.

[@milanstevic8424]

@@MrNovaStreams in fact circuit diagrams are frequently incomplete IRL as well. Plenty of times there is no need to show the return loop (right after the consumers or main logic), and the current is shown to leave the graph with the grounding symbol, as with electric circuits. I'm not an expert but I've seen a fair share of electronic diagrams while I was researching EE relatively recently. I'm thinking this is to declutter the diagram when it's used only to convey the concept, rather than to show the actual design and implementation, because this is the only time it matters to have each local connection, if you have to make plans for the actual board.

[@MrNovaStreams]

@@milanstevic8424 We must have very different jobs.

[@milanstevic8424]

@@MrNovaStreams I wouldn't know. I'm not sure if my job has anything to do with it, though I am a game dev with 30-ish years of programming practice and I like to think that I'm fairly acquainted with computer electronics. But as I said, I'm not really an expert in EE, programming is a different beast altogether, what I said is just my experience from thoroughly investigating EE, while trying to design a puzzle concept similar to this game. Btw, I was amazed just like you, but after a while it started to make sense. In reality we don't really care about currents having to close circuits, we only care about the logic and general connectivity. Their work is what matters, while bringing them back to their source (normally, a battery minus) in diagrams provides no useful information, it just clutters everything. If you think about it, diagrams are very similar to giving instructions. I.e. "go to the grocery store and buy eggs". Bringing the eggs back is obviously implied. At least I hope so. I've also seen entire (true EE) learning simulators which not only allow, but run incomplete circuits. There are some online, but I can't remember the names. They're probably easy to find, though. In this game, however, having incomplete circuit boards is wrong, because it depicts actual physical boards, and not diagrams, so I get you, and I also get why they had to write a disclaimer. But hey it's only a puzzle.
