The core gameplay was fun and intuitive. I'm a bomb, throwing bombs! I also like the bomb character :)

I feel like some type of score should be shown. There's the number of bombs left, but maybe a count for how many squares I exploded would be good.

There were some issues with buttons. In the info screen, the exit button was half off-screen. The start button was only half-clickable. I played it in windowed mode at 1920x1200.

Congratzs on finishing <3 I played your game, and its fun well done! but in order to improve it i would say you need to let the enemies come from far places or out of screen or where the player is not, since i did not know they come from the middle only and got hit many times :D :D some sounds effects, bomb effect should be more transparent and i bellieve it would have been better if the bomb also bounce back from the enemies(if you are doing it using a timer) or let it explode once it collides, both would work but overall was a nice submission, Thanks! goodluck :)

There isn't much, but the idea is great.

Graphics is quite nice, however you could make some simple enemies instead of white squares! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Also, it'd be good if there was a kind of pause menu.

In general, this is good idea, and you could add some slight features to make it even better :slight_smile:

This is really nice for a firs ludm dare game :) There is room for improvement, such as graphical, showing the score, making a better UI or things like that, but the game is already playable, is nice and is good for a first compo ;) Good job !

For a first ludum dare game, this is amazing, the overall concept is good, but the graphics needs a little bit of work, and, the ui was a bit glitchy, but, overall, this was amazing!!

Hi, I like your game. I really like how many different things bombs are uses. Multi use mechanics are awesome. My biggest complaint is that there is no score or anything. I would add a score counter that is relative to how may blocks you blow up, that would also incentivize the player to use bombs rather than just hold on to them as a life currency. One last thing: spawning enemies randomly in the middle of the screen feels cheap to the player. Overall good job and congrats on finishing. I am sure you will only improve from here.

Hey!

Pros: - Idea: Bombastic! :) - Boom animation.

Cons: - UI: Half clickable buttons. :( - Graphics: I noticed, that the "child" bombs are not lit. White squares as enemies. - Level: The two sides are off camera, so i can't see what is happening there. I don't know if it's intended..?

Your ideas are good, a little more work and improvement and you'll make even better games! Congrats on your submission, it's a good one!

The description says "this also supports linux and mac" but I only found Windows .exe binaries. Are some files missing?
