Great example of how simplicity is a good thing! Great concept that was well polished. At the end I found myself wishing for more levels. You should definitely take this concept and expand it, and I'm sure with more time you could make a great puzzle game.

This has some cool ideas in it. A couple simple rules make for some very cool interactions.

I think that just from a usability standpoint you could have made the delay before the explosion about half the time.

Overall some very nice work.

I didn't think I'd be compelled to plow through all 10 levels... I was wrong. You've created a solid puzzle game with a few simple concepts executed very well. Integrating new devices (TNT) and rock types felt very natural and opened up the puzzling nature of the game a bit. Great job!

Neat little puzzle, great tutorial levels. Made me think on last level, but every thing is beatable! Thanks for the game!

Game feels and looks very smooth! I thought the song was a little annoying. The puzzles were great! Maybe the early levels were a little too easy.

Very good puzzle game, I liked it a lot!
Some improving ideas, if I may :
- The music is pretty excessive, maybe at least letting the player cut it
- The transition between level is too long too ;)
Good job again!

Nice concept, easy to understand, easy to read. There's potential for interesting puzzles, but, at least for this version, the difficulty was lacking.
Anyway, good job, good luck!

Like the art, the sound and the concept, but the puzzles where easy. But I still really like this game.

This comments section must be full of geniuses, I found the difficulty level just right. Had to try some levels a few times to complete. I liked how you teached different techniques and then gave a more difficult level with them next. That is good game design. :thumbsup:

After all levels bombed

Pros:

- Simple and solid concept
- TNT always rocks
- Simple and effective graphics
- Properly scoped difficulty
- Gradual introduction to new mechanics
- Multiple obstacles
- Funny music
- Good sound effects
- Nice touch with skip

Cons:

- Wish it was longer
- Don't know if the music really fit the game, but hey, at least it's there!


A fun game and solid compo entry, which would definitely be playable as mobile title! Great job!
