Nice, little, theme fitting game. Some of the traps cought me off guard :) Also some bg music could have worked well.

This game is very well polished and cool! The graphics are simple yet pleasing. It would have been great to have some music but it's still overall a really cool and addicting game.

Thanks for the feedback!

I tried to make some background music for it but music isn't my strong suit, it sounded really bad.
I'll be sure to play all of your games!

Awesome game! I really like the mood and the visual design seems very polished. The sound effects feel very fitting to the overall aesthetic. The gameplay is also super straight forward and fun, but also challenging at times.

This game is awesome! Graphics are simple but fit the style very well, and the gameplay itself is quite addicting. Some background music would've been nice, but this is already really good for two days of work. Really polished game overall!

Cool simple game, I tried expert mode and it wasn't that hard, but I always died to "big block" trap.

Cool!! The feedback(screenshake and sfx) of the bomb is great. I like the speed of the level, and the feeling when throw the bomb to the wall.

It will be great if I can play it on the phone.

Distance: 247!

I love it!

Fun to play, challenging but not too challenging, with nice simple graphics and great sound and visual effects that make out a great feedback!
I love how bombs can be used to destroy walls, and lasers destroy bombs etc.!

Plus the little cutscene at the beginning is kind of funny!


Overall, the only thing this game lacks is some music in my opinion


Ended on my favorite games list!

Neat game! The look is very good, everything is of one mold. I love that you can use the mines to blow up the blocks.
Some parts are really hard, but that's the gold old RNG :)

Nice little game you've got there. Really like the gradual introduction of mechanics as the level progresses. Starting out, the speed might be a tad on the difficult side (could probably start a little slower and ramp up) but otherwise not bad. The graphics are minimal but consistent and the intro cut-scene was a nice touch. As several others have mentioned, some background music would go a long way, but otherwise it's a pretty solid, condensed experience.

Nice little game. Graphics are nice, sound effects are solid. Nice little cutscene and i like that the game shows you how you died! I felt a bit confused and my character died a few times before I understood how to play (need to move obstacles out of the way) but after that I had a good amount of fun. Great job :)

Awesome entry. That death screen that shows you that 'yes you definitely did just ram that mine into your little dudes head you idiot' is a really nice touch. I like the playable titlescreen as a standin for a tutorial as well. Great work all around.

Awesome game. I liked the use of mines to destroy the blocks, and always died by the big rock + other threats (+ mines more times). I liked the simple visuals and animations are smooth. Awesome!
And the detail to screenshot the moment of your death is gold. Good job!

Really cool game. Like the simplistic graphics and audio, they remind me of simpler times. The mechanics of the game are a nice approach to the jam's theme. Good job!

Fun stuff! Simple but polished art and a nice take on the theme. The only thing missing is a banging soundtrack.

Great job, fun and challenging little game, and I love how you randomized the levels each time. I love the art and game play. This game could use some music though. Great job, keep it up.

With each passing day I appreciate simplicity more. Few colors, few mechanics and lots of fun!
I liked very much.
But there was a song missing. We would enter the game much more with a soundtrack, no matter how simple it was.

Congratulations for the game!

Simple yet very fun! Like everyone else says, that falling block caught me off guard. I love the basic black and white graphics, cool entry!

The art style looks great. Audio sounds good. Took me a few tries before I understood how the game worked (I was trying to move the character). The random generation was great, but there was a couple of times where the character died as soon as the game started.

Very good game! he simplistic art style is fantastic. Sound worked well. And the game fit the theme perfectly! Kudos!

Difficulty was a bit too hard for my taste, but maybe I'm not hardcore enough. Good Job!

Amazing artwork. Fun little casual game which could be interesting on mobile device. Main gameplay fits with the theme. I had fun playing. Thank you ++

Hah really awesome concept that comes together nicely! Simple controls that you can iterate on, objects that interact with eachother in good/bad ways.

Got up to 350ish, then the big blocks started. :laughing:

Good work! :)
