  • Fantastic cooperative game that strongly emphasizes teamwork, communication, and problem-solving under pressure.
  • Engaging and thrilling gameplay that provides an adrenaline rush and intense experience, simulating real bomb defusal scenarios.
  • Educational and mentally stimulating, offering challenges like learning Morse code and enhancing communication skills.
  • The free version is very limited, requiring payment to unlock most modules, difficulties, and content, which many find expensive.
  • Certain modules can be confusing or frustrating, especially the musical symbols and some controls like multi-touch buttons and manual navigation.
  • Technical issues including bugs, lack of multi-platform save support, and no in-game manual which complicates gameplay, especially for new players.

  • humor

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely praised for its humor, being consistently described as hilarious, fun, and a great source of laughter when played with friends or family. The comedic moments often arise from stressful, fast-paced interactions and the amusing communication between players. Overall, it delivers a highly entertaining and funny cooperative experience.

    • “This is such a good adaptation of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. It's funny, fast, and great to play in pairs or more!”
    • “Super fun, played with my mum and brother, it was absolutely hilarious and fun.”
    • “Very fun to play, always laughing with friends playing this.”

  • music

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect in the game receives mixed feedback, with players appreciating the concept but finding the musical notes module confusing, tedious, and sometimes buggy, causing frustration during gameplay. Many suggest adding clearer instructions or names for musical symbols, as well as addressing issues that prevent disarming puzzles correctly. Overall, while music elements add challenge, they can also create stress and hinder the fun for those unfamiliar with music notation.

    • “Great game, loved playing. The only thing I would recommend is to add the names of the symbols in the musical symbols module, as not everybody knows them.”
    • “My friends and I all play music, so you could probably guess what our favorite module is.”
    • “Great game for teamwork. The only issue is the music symbols module, but I will still play because it is fun.”
    • “This game was fun, but my friend and I could not disarm one bomb due to the music note/morse code module not disarming, even if we matched up the music notes perfectly (partially by sending each other screenshots, which is technically cheating).”
    • “The game is fun, but some bugs make it impossible sometimes. For the musical symbols, the morse code '-----' means 0, but the symbol for 0 is not possible to enter on the bomb.”
    • “The musical symbols module is really annoying!”

  • monetization

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the absence of ads and dislike having to pay to access additional modes and difficulties, suggesting a preference for ad-supported free content rather than paywalls. Some recommend implementing ads for free players as a fair monetization approach, while others find the current payment system restricting and feel misled by ads promoting the game as free.

    • “No ads so far.”
    • “I also like that there's no ads.”
    • “Very beautiful game with a great idea, but I need to pay to unlock other modes and difficulties, which is not available for me. I would prefer if you put ads instead that show after every game.”
    • “Sorry, but you should stop advertising paid games as free.”
    • “Not going to watch ads just to learn how to play.”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, fast-paced, and interesting, though some users feel it is a less valuable imitation of a similar game and question its price given free or better alternatives. Overall, it offers enjoyable mechanics but may not justify its cost for all players.

    • “Super fun, make sure the person at the manual has experience under their belt to make for more fun, easy gameplay”
    • “Amazing fast paced gameplay”
    • “Very interesting gameplay”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding elements, such as navigating between bomb parts or changing batteries, to be unintuitive and tedious. Repetitive tasks like collecting musical notes also contribute to a sense of monotony, suggesting a need for more streamlined or user-friendly mechanics.

    • “Moving between the elements of the bomb by zooming in/out becomes tedious. There should additionally be a left/up/right/down cursor or even better, a miniature picture at one of the sides where one simply taps the desired element.”
    • “Is changing the flashlight's battery considered a riddle in itself or why is it so unintuitive and tedious?”
    • “I love this game but the musical notes are so tedious.”

  • story

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is praised for its engaging, progressively challenging bomb defusal missions that immerse players in a thrilling, Mission Impossible-like experience. Users find it highly captivating and wish the full version were freely accessible.

    • “This was the best mind-blowing game I ever played. It literally puts you in the shoes of the characters in Mission Impossible.”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the graphics for their smoothness and visually appealing design, highlighting that the visuals enhance the overall gaming experience and complement enjoyable co-op gameplay.

    • “Great controls with smooth graphics; it definitely makes you think about how to describe what you see for others to get the same picture.”
    • “Great game, fun co-op, and nice visuals.”

  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the game emotionally engaging, enjoying the sense of accomplishment from solving challenges, which makes them feel smart and keeps them invested in playing.

    • “It was interesting and made me feel smart when I was able to solve it.”
    • “Emotional experience, I love it and I am still playing.”
