I think that's quite bold to try to explore the theme with 'minimal gameplay' because it seems like there's not much to it, which can't be good. But, you really managed to make a lot of fun with a very little. Downsides have already been said, I agree with Benjamin about the colours - maybe a desaturated foreground, or background, would make the player more distinct.\rAlso I somehow didn't realise that bombs need to be touched to go off, at first, and my first instinct was to just ran in a straight line placing hundreds behind me... :)"}],"images":["ld26\/18748-89d94af339f5e1d87388e2eb281e2e4c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/94622838\/Ludum%20Dare\/BlockBreaker.jar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/94622838\/Ludum%20Dare\/BlockBreaker.jar","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/94622838\/Ludum%20Dare\/BlockBreaker.jar","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Tahooey\/BlockBreakerLD48","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26119","g_author":"18748","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"26149","g_title":"Block Breaker","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1230","g_commentcount":"23","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\/\/233892\/18748-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is my first ever game for Ludum Dare and I am very happy with it.\r\n\r\nLanguage: Java\r\nExternal Libraries: None\r\nAttempt at Theme: Minimal Graphics and Game Features\r\n\r\nYou have 100 seconds to blow this map up\r\n\r\nWith Firework Bombs\r\n\r\nYeah<\/p>","title":"Block Breaker"}
