bump bandit [browser]
Play as a quirky little thief determined to snatch every diamond in the city in the puzzler Bump Bandit by Air Guslar.
Got stuck a couple of times, but there are limited moves you can actually make, so not too frustrating. Strange that it just starts again after the end scene.

I saw that too. I think it's when you sit too long without clicking anything. Annoying in a puzzle game where sitting and thinking about it is a lot of the fun!
Agreed. Maybe some people do a lot of trial-and-error, or guessing, or just investigating interactively. I tend to do it as you describe: noodle it out before moving. But having that button appear seems not to serve any useful purpose, so I wonder why they do it.
Way too much overhead for such a simple game. Animation stalled repeatedly and page blacked out twice, had to reload, fortunately resumed where I left off.
Played one or two levels and logged off because I was interrupted. Now when I try to run it again I just get a black screen with some slow music, and no way to restart.
Pretty easy, only got slowed down on one level.
ReplyDeleteThere were so many on the last level, lol.
Very cute game. I really liked it.

ReplyDeleteMeh, I mean it was fine, but this isn't anything that hasn't been done a million times already.
ReplyDeleteSo are crossword puzzles. Sometimes, you just want more of the same.
DeleteWhy does the "play" button show up every so often?

ReplyDeleteNice and easy
ReplyDeleteNice game.
ReplyDeleteI love the little "unh" noise he makes for "ouch"!
ReplyDeleteCall me "Anonymous C." I really like this game. I've been playing it over and over. I look forward very much to more games by Air Guslar!
