Really fun, and addicting. It's a bit hard to get the mines to go fast enough to explode, which adds to the challenge.

ok this worked twice and then broke (i used wine because the C++ wouldn't build - that's why you don't use microsoft vizzel C++), but what i played was quite cool so here we go
oh wait it's working now
this is pretty nifty, i think it's been done before but not with big inflated bubbleheads so it's pretty good for innovation
the smallest bobblehead size is a pain in the arse to sling a mine into - if you'd dropped that, i wouldn't have wasted so much time on level 4 (i gave up) and would have awarded you another star
theme is existant and it works
graphics are fantastic, it looks like a flash game but it's even better because it isn't
audio works really well, especially those ambientish sounds you get when you win or lose, also kickdrums are fun
not sure if there's humour so i'll say N/A
overall this is a good game if you feel like wasting time
no journal so 1 star for community
Wow, the "solidity" of this is fantastic, all of the effects contribute to make it feel like a real world. A bit hard for me to get into (didn't get past Level 3), but fun!
Simple, but fun. It's a little hard getting started, but I was really getting into the swing of things by level 3. Level 7 was just too hard for me to get past, though.
I didn't realize just how fantastic the graphics were until I'd taken a break from slinging things around, but they do look really good. Lots of subtle effects.
I'll award humor points for the concept of "saving" your "friends" by slinging mines into them until they explode. :-)
I couldn't get past level 3, but not for lack of trying!! Nearly everything about this is good. Clean and coherent graphics, lovely effects. The attention to detail is what makes it. I'd say mix the extremely satisfying drum beats into some kind of background music, add a scoring mechanism (for time, style, whatever), and you have a winning, addictive casual game.
Sweet little game. As other have said its really tough. Could of done with some sort of indicator of the health of the dude in the middle tho.
Doesn't work under Wine because of missing MSVCP60.dll I think... I'll try to get it later if I'm motivated enough. First trying games that work :).
Very nice graphics and a simple but addictive concept.
I probably would have played for a lot longer had the mouse not been restricted to the window preventing me from moving it to a more convenient place. :)
Okayyy so I found a copy of msvcthing60.dll and copied it into the game's directory, which was enough to make it work. I didn't understand the instructions at all; why not write simply "pull the mines towards the big round white thing to make it smaller"? (Which doesn't make any sense, but I would have understood it better anyway :))
Then it's way too hard, not fun to die at first hit. But it's nice and reacts well.
Pretty nice. I didn't always understand why some mines would blow on the enemy blob thing and other times not. Is it a speed issue, or do I have to have held the mine?
Fun but wish the mines killed each other or there was a place to throw them.
