Ability to just skip levels kinda ruins the fun, but I've tried to complete each level while collecting the most money I could and restarted a lot to ensure it, so it was lots of fun. I like multi-genred games, great work! I only wish platformer mechanics were more solid and that I could jump higher."}],"images":["ld29\/30272-3a54200f28f1dd013fa60c9570124d8b.jpg","ld29\/30272-6309e9fce478d3fe4edc652ad2858083.jpg","ld29\/30272-3b0e29e6ce73c9792c672c2483842b00.jpg","ld29\/30272-829fdaf30aceb20d73c2f1a8efa87b41.jpg","ld29\/30272-5a9e4c1f6d27732eea318256d4f410ac.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.peterharries.co.uk\/I%20like%20big%20BOMBS\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/folderview?id=0B2KpboB-0ZVWU2pualV2eFgzbE0&amp;usp=sharing","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/folderview?id=0B2KpboB-0ZVWWlVhdU5HQ2t2cGs&amp;usp=sharing","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/folderview?id=0B2KpboB-0ZVWYWdxalZsWHkyUDg&amp;usp=sharing","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.peterharries.co.uk\/ilbb_source.rar","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"20398","g_author":"30272","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"20427","g_title":"I like big BOMBS!","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"709","g_commentcount":"21","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/30272-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/30272-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/30272-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/30272-shot3.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/30272-shot4.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The game is about dropping bombs on stuff then jumping down into the smouldering craters to collect all the loot!\r\n\r\nYou use the mouse to select bombs and drop them wherever you like.
