I enjoyed playing that. Straightforward and fun. :-)

Some levels were impossible, either that or I was just bad at the game, haha. Other than that pretty good game.

Fun game! The simplicity of the core mechanics made it pretty intuitive and smooth to play, and re-play. The 'pre-plan your route' idea was a nice way of balancing the short time limit and I liked the 'dizzy' effect when you touch the bombs.

The random level generation could use a little more work though, I had at least one level that didn't have an Exit (maybe it was behind something?) and two levels where I started with a brown-bomb right on top of me.

Overall, good job!

Good start for a platformer, and the randomization kept it interesting for a bit. I would work on the graphics, especially how disruptive the shaking and star thing are. I definitely panicked as the clock ran down, so good job there!

Like the random generation of the map. The game itself needs some more to make it stand out more. But getting random level generation stuff like that working is not easy in 48 hours. Good work

straightforward, pretty fun, needs a little something though, I'd love to play a polished version :)

Nice work! Enjoyed it very much. Add some background music to make it even better and to improve t he feel of urgency. Really liked that you have to plan before starting and deciding to go for that 2x power-up is a really big decision.
