sweet game!

Fun game, good character & humor.
You get extra points for the level editor :)

Couldn't get high score on one of the levels. Other than that it was great.

Argh. Ham's IRC voodoo hypnosis didn't work (I think) but I'm still sprinkling 5's over this one. The thing I love most is how the little fellow moves - that lurchy acceleration thing is just spot-on. Not too keen on how some levels scale to an uneven pixel ratio causing stretch artifacts, but I can live with it. The explosions are just magnificent, as are the sounds (too bad the music didn't make it).
I beat all the levels at last, but the final one (gotta catch 'em all) was quite tricky. Fun fun.

A good concept. The 'chain reaction with explosions' is a but overplayed this compo. The different goals in teh levels (nuggets, barrens, multipliers) is fun, tho.

Very nice!

Lubberly little game, nice pixelling and nasty time limit ;)

Good stuff.

Feels a lot like some old c64 game, which is not a bad thing at all =)

Took a couple of tries before I realized I have to drop the barrel =)

Samiljan

Great game!

I DONE EXPLODED!

A fun little puzzle game, it seems to have all the little things that make it fun.

Sophie Houlden

very impressive tbh, and lots of fun :D

chaotikZA

Awesome game!

It was bit hard to figure out the menu first, but thanks for help - maybe it could have had arrows or be more conventional:-) About the game itself: Very sweet levels, good graphics and the explosion particlefx is really nice! :) I really wish this will make it to top3. On the minus side there is a bit of need for polish on bits, but i appreciate the levels > polish :)

Simple awesome that a game this polished can be done in 48.

Needed an indicator so you know when the wick was going to be lit.

Best death sound ever.

gimblll

Very nice looking game and it was fun too. Needs some kind of ingame indicator about when the fuse is going to start.

This was great. Running around with the burning fuse following you can be really nerve-wracking, specially if you try to go for points as well as survival. Fun! Great character, too.

Would've been nice with a visible timeout before the fuse starts burning though, and maybe some music.

Deepflame

A sound game. One of the fun ones to play. :) I'm definitely giving this a special spot in my LD48-10 directory.

Got a chance to try some games in Vista today, started with this, so hard to compare yet - but so far it's a clear winner. Only 5 categories I didn't rate it 5 - but maybe I have to lower this if the other games I try are better :)

jhauberg

Very good use of theme, very nice menu and over-all polish. Love the explosions.

As mentioned, an indicator of when fuse will light would be nice.

Seems that you run faster when going diagonally. (e.g. up+right)

midwinter

fun to play, and not too too hard :)
the story makes me laugh...

philhassey

Fun :) I really liked that you kept the difficulty level within the reach of mortals. So many games (including mine) tend to get rather over-hard after the first couple levels.

Impressive menu and highscore system :)

- I was able to pick up coins after being exploded :)

greencow

great work mumuman
