made by sink_t for LD29 (JAM)

A game where you play as a bunker-busting bomb. Made in about 4 hours as a last-ditch effort to produce something this LD, since I had been busy during the weekend. Very buggy and altogether a short and brutish experience.

This LD has turned out to be mostly a failure, so I won't blame you for giving me 1 star on every category.

Good attempt for only 4 hours! Couldn't figure out how the score is calculated though. Very much appreciate you listing all the controls for the game. Would be nice to see what you can do if you had 48 hours :)

Not exactly sure how the score is calculated, but I like the mechanics. I could see this growing into some kind of level-based "bloons" kind of game where you have X amount of bombs and you need to destroy X percent of all the bases to move onto the next level. I'd like to see that :)

apparently did not understand the game and does need major tweaking and can get boring quickly. needs features!

Not bad for four hours but yeah, pretty basic. Needs to be a bit clearer about how the score is calculated (is it just how much "bunker" you hit vs. dirt?).

In the current (submitted on time) version the score is supposed to be the number of bunker tiles in a 5x5 square around the detonation point. In practice, this is done with a piece of magical voodoo potato, whose precise workings haven't been deciphered yet.

I don't understand how the score works, and a BOOOOM
would have helped. Playing as The Bomb is original tho, I like that.

For 4 hours it's not bad, shame you didn't have more time

This game is buggy and don't run well on my Chrome. Also, don't really get the point of this game except to bomb up the white tiles...

I have no idea what the score is in relation to, but it's pretty interesting.

The game is a bit too simple for my tastes, but I understand the time limits you had. It's actually sort of an interesting idea, and I could see it being a cool mechanic in a larger mining-related game.

Ok result for 4 hours. Looking forward for an entry where you're able to invest the full 48h

The first few tries were fun, trying to detonate at the best spot. The game would be more fun if more content can be added in. But nice job for 4 hours work :)
