The theme fits well, and the movement already feels pretty solid as a starting point.\n\nHere\u2019s a bit of feedback that might help for future updates or projects:\n\n- Audio cues: It\u2019d be great to have more sound effects for the bomb. I died a few times because nothing happened, and I thought I had to kick it to make it explode. A clear audio cue would help a lot!\n\n- Character polish: The skelly boi isn\u2019t 100% clean. There are a few stray pixels in the animation that stand out a bit. Cleaning those up would make it look even better.\n\n- Visual clarity: Making buttons and tiles more distinguishable would help with readability. It could be nice if the tiles looked a bit more like the ground\/bottom ones for consistency.\n\n- Level design: The level design feels a bit rough at times (as others mentioned), but that\u2019s totally normal! You\u2019ll get better at it with more time and experience.\n\nOverall, you can absolutely be proud of this as a first jam game. It\u2019s playable, fits the theme, and is genuinely fun to play!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1168753,"author_name":"LDJam user 236256","author_uid":"236256","epoch":1759866594,"text":"Unfortunately I don't really understand what to do.
