I liked the bombing mechanic to progress further down, but needed a moment to really get into it. Also, I first tried to collect the red enemies instead of avoiding them. :slight_smile: Altogether a cute little game. (The music might be a bit repetitive though) Good work! :thumbsup:

your core mechanic is pretty similiar to ours haha. It's funny how different people can come up with similiar yet different ideas :D

I like the core mechanic, but the jump will be higly improve being faster. Also the music is a bit repetitive. great job for making all this by yourself.

Cool idea - I liked it! It was sort of like a side-view bomberman, which worked well, especially with the enemies there to add some challenge. Having two separate bomb types to use was a nice addition, though the hitboxes for the explosions could've been a bit clearer and I did get hit a few times when I thought I shouldn't. The artwork could've been better, but to its credit it was clear to me what everything did and the different tiles added a nice bit of visual flavour, so nice work on those. The music got a bit repetitive too, but it was much better than just silence. Great work on this game!

Bomberman! Great entry it felts like a really interesting version of that old retro dig dug game but with you know bomberman. The music is pretty bad but hey you are an excellent programmer!

Nice one. I gave you 20 ratings :)

LmaoI really liked that, it was really creative entry. I hope you can find a way to jam in some crazy particle effects, and increased overall speed of the game. This has the potential to become "think on your feet" kinda game. The only flaw I noticed, is that its too easy to put yourself in situation where there is no way, but to take a hit.
