Really sweet! It took me a while to realize I could double-jump, that was really handy. Nice job on the smooth background music, it takes off the edge!

@greytyphoon Thanks so much!
Hi! Amazingly tuned and balance arcade game, one of my favourites so far. Had a gorillas.exe DOS vibe that i loved, nailed the Nes Battle City main menu style, incredible experience. Graphics are really good and music surprised me in a good way. 116.15 my score. Thanks a lot.
Very fun and tightly scoped! All of the little touches and polish really make the game feel great to play.
One of the most addicting Games in this Jam i love it :)
highScore.png Another game made in the game maker, I'm always happy when I see them!
I don't know why you composed this jazzy song, but it was amazing, I don't know because it reminded me so much of some sonic phases.
The game is fun, the controls are responsive and the art fits well with the proposal, congratulations!
I have to say, you nailed the theme with this one. Nice work on the game
Hey this was actually pretty fun and surprisingly polished. I can really appreciate the small animations you made and I also loved how bombs get slightly sucked towards the player - that just made the game feel a lot smoother!
The music is very good but I do not know if it fits the game too well. I would probably have gone some other route to create a piece that invokes the feeling of rush and hurry. But that is up to a debate and as I said, the song is good and catchy!
Great use of the theme, a good vibe with the music and the graphics... Really like it !
Nice game! I had much fun playing it and managed to survive a bit over a minute. : D
Oh man, this one was a blast to play through (no pun intended). It got super hectic near the end trying to pick up more bombs before the blew up what little pieces of bricks remained. The graphics and music are great too! Would love to see this expanded on more in a post-jam version.
I think it would have been great if the initial terrain wasn't quite so spikey, but there's some great game feel here. Great level of polish; well done!
with the speed of the bomb character, it was sometimes hard to get to the other side with the terrain.
Great game! I like that the other bombs destroy the level, adding urgency to get it. The overall presentation is very polished too. My favorite game so far.
Great game, simple and fun :)
The game fits the theme very well, I like the fact where (Apparently) is impossible to survive forever, at some point your character will explode
Quality offering on a solid and simple premise.
Simple gameplay, but it has legs. It was a lot of fun.
Simple, but great!
I am be a bomb, but so is this game.
Please turn this into a full mobile game. It's a winner formula, super fun, quick to play and easy to learn.
I did it!!! Nearly 3 minutes!!! I had some sketchy moments. Such a simple, pure game! Capture.PNG
You've done a lot with this concept, it's really great!

really cool and addictive game
SO BLOODY INCREDIBLE! Nice and responsive controls, great sfx and music and really AWESOME visuals!!! A top pick for sure!
Simple and easy to understand! but hard to master.
You and your dad should be really proud of each other, great team and great game!
cool idea. and a really fun little game. My highscore was not as high as others posted here, but I still had the same amount of fun :)
This game is really fun, very simple but very addicting! I appreciate how the player is given the balance of either sacrificing bombs that are too far away or risking getting them at the last second with very little time reward. I managed to get 6:47!
@waffleworksgames Woah! You beat my record!
Great concept! I love the graphics and the music. Got to 1:14.18.
Very solid premise. Cool design and implementation was very fun to play! Well done ! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1447330384 Enjoyed playing it on Stream!
Fighting fire with fire :wink: Manic gameplay - a lot of fun even if my keyboard disagrees. Kudos to you and a nod to your Dad's smooth audio.
Very straight forward. Go and play that instant. Music volume was too high. There could be a way to mute it. Well done. I really enjoyed playing.
Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1447203079
Great little twist on classic arcade game style. I had a great time with this one.
Interesting take on the theme. I liked the effect that as your platform shrank things in some ways became easier, but you did also approach your inevitable end.
It's a nice little idea, the game is simple and fun to play and I love the arcade look, nice job!
Unexpected and funny take on the theme! Really fun to play, polished, simple and effective, well done!
Thanks for coming to my stream! Here's a recording in case you'd like to refer to it https://youtu.be/aJkdjOKW03M
Cool idea, nice title insertion as you blow up. What's really great about this game is the arcade style that it derives from. The font, the art style, the playstyle, it all fits in as if it's a game made in the 80s. Just need more bomb variations, maybe big bomb destroys more tile, small bomb destroys less, all dependent on timer. And that's it! Good jam entry, hope to see you in the next one.
Great concept idea! Enjoyed playing it on stream. Good fit for the theme.
You have created an addictive game here! I totally got hooked and played several times. Very nice idea and logic. Great work man! :)

I had tons of fun the game is really addictive and awesome to play great entry Thank you! :smile: Couldn't beat that High Score sorry xD Screenshot 2022-04-07 042316.png
Super fun and simple, but I REALLY SUCK! An interesting concept for a endless arcade type game.
One of the most original ideas I've seen in this ludum 50. Really amazing how such a small scope could be so brilliant. I'm using your game as a reference in my simplicity, objectivity and fun in my game group. It is very polished and ready to be released.
Congratulations!

@very-bad-bunny-studio @tranzit Nice job on the record!
@nash Thanks for noticing all the little details!
@cruise-elroy @jesus-gonzalez I plan on adding more / making an android of the game since so many people asked.
@bluishgreenpro @jcmonkey The terrain was made hard to traverse so that it was not possible for you to grab all the bombs.
@nardandas @drentsoft @dannyk1994 @marcmagus @caudatecoder @alexthehuman2 @jitspoe @kaminos @wassim Thanks for playing it on stream!
@macabreartgames I updated the game to have volume control, you can use 1 and 2 to change the volume. Thanks for the feedback!
@euler-moises I hope your game group finds it useful!
Really fun and innovative concept, loved the double jump and the randomness of it all.
This is a really simple but fun loop.
Very cool entry ! Max score on innovation for sure. It is seemingly very simple, but it is also executed perfectly. Can see myself wasting hours on this to do better. Well done ! Thank you for submitting this gem !
and now I'm addicted...! What a fantastic, simple game! I spent over an hour playing it, trying to beat these scores from the comments :) Well done!!
Lovely little game!
I love the simplicity in art, music AND gameplay. It's highly addictive! Innovative concept with smooth and response controls. I'm not sure if the level was randomly generated? Let me know! I didn't quite pay attention to that part haha. I loved how the bomb actually blow up the stage rather than just themselves, great little touch!
Thanks for sharing this game!! <3
@kepsert It is indeed randomly generated, along with the background! Thanks for playing the game!
I remembered the Worms game! Only here you play for the bomb :) And you have a bomb problem! :) A little harsh sound, but overall very good! :)
Fun game really liked the concept - nothing bad to say!
2:30 was my best, good fun and a very simple concept for the player to understand! It was quite frustrating at the end that due to chance, all bombs fell in holes in the ground and blew up immediately for about 5-6 bombs in a row so I died, but hey - it is only delaying the inevitable ;) Good fun
I love a good arcade style game for sure! This was a blast to play on stream! I like the very snappy controls, they are perfect. it's a cool game. highlight: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449896005?t=01h08m51s
I really like this game! The game design is actually really superb. You'd think at first you'd be able to exploit the game by staying in the middle to have a smaller playing field to protect, but since you're on a timer yourself , you need a big playing field to collect all those time bombs, so the smaller the field gets, the more f'd you are, lol. Really nice!
Very fun game! I loved the sound effects and art style!
Good One. You nailed the theme. Well Done.
Really addictive gameplay. Was trying to be smart by prioritizing on central bombs but eventually ran out of time. Fun game well done.
Hi, really enjoyed your game and shout-out to your dad! Maybe this could use more chaos, more explosions, more ways the arena changes.
this game is a bomb :bomb:
Nice one! Really enjoyed this. Cool graphics and style overall. Great entry
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

Super cute game! At first I was sceptical of another bomb game but you really nailed the theme in a unique and addicting way. Great work! :smile:
The best part is that this goes aginst our instincts, you have to collect ticking time bombs rather than avoid them, also really like the arcade feel, reminds me of the old Y8 flash games that i enjoyed so much
Had fun with this one, I like how some strategies can emerge from the simple rules of the game (for example allowing some bombs to explode walls to make it easier to move around the map)
My current highscore is **1:50.78**

@benjamin-halko Great work on this! This level of simplicity is something I strive for but I seem to always over-develop my games. Super fun concept and well executed! Also, tell your Dad his music taste is sexy as hell. Lovely LD50 entry, Benjamin, keep it up!
@jesus-gonzalez I just finished making an Android port!
Very nice retro game, really fun to play!
Fun little retro game to play. I suck at retro games :\
Loved this. Felt like a really tight arcade game. the visuals were great and kept things really clean. The gameplay was fun and addictive. I don't really have any complaints here, it was a fun little game.
This is a really well executed game! It controls great and there's a surprising bit of depth to it for how simple the mechanics are.
Really enjoyed this little arcade game. I respect that the dynamic nature of the level meant that it acted almost as a sandbox for players to design a strategy, but in order to build a strategic landscape it requires some rng and discipline. Loved the old school arcade feel, reminded me of being away on camp as a kid and playing bombjack.
Thanks for your submission! As others mentioned, I wish your scores were not so dependent on the rng, this takes away autonomy from the player. It was frustrating to see bombs falling far away with no chances of being collected.
Fantanstic game, very good use of the theme! I would like to see this like an endless runner!
genius idea!! you don't only have to eat the other bombs to survive, but also to save the ground under you (or else you fall into the void). also bonus points for including a multiplayer mode :>
Great entry! Got 3:04.10. Felt like a nice score. Nailed the theme, the art is real, the game is solid, mechanics feel good. Add more variety and this is super cool. :D
Honestly this is an amazing entry! I barely have any feedback to give. Really smart take on this. I think perhaps the tileset needed a bit more work and the music didn't quite feel like it fit, but I really can't say enough good things about this.
Love it! Thanks so much for submitting :) Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1452837878
You had a lot of awesome, simple mechanics working together that makes for a unique and cohesive game. I gave all my feedback and some ideas on stream so I'll leave that here
@ 9:50 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1450339064
The android version is excellent!
I'm not very good at fast games like this, but I felt the inevitability of my end all the time. The gameplay is fast, smooth, and easily understandable, although there is still a space for some decision-making as to which bombs are not worth picking up. Well done :bomb:
so simple concept yet great mechanics comes out of it. loved the audio loved the art. but the mechanics are very very cool it opens up to many different approaches of play which i consider one of the best practices of game design!
So simple but downright fun and addicting. Nice job!!
Props to your Dad for the music, very cool! :v:
For such a simple concept it was fun to play, it became super challenging when the ground split into islands or particularly large pillars presented themselves.
It'd be cool to see you develop more, perhaps with more bonuses / moves , like some sort of sideways dash to jump across wide horizontal gaps, perhaps with a penalty of using up some fuse time or something?

Very fun little game, congratulations, loved the execution of the theme, this is a more interesting timer / survival game, and if you miss a bomb it reduces gradually the space in which you can catch more bombs to increase your timer, but you can also let bombs explode to flatten out the terrain I would have expected to die if I'm caught in a explosion though
Nice audio, nice graphics, juicy and responsive, very fun to play, congrats! Screenshot_2.jpg
Wow what a fun game, it was simple but I liked the execution. I played the 2 player mode and that was even more fun! With some refining of the platforming code the game could feel a little smoother. But I was impressed by the fun factor of this game, nice job!
Such a simple game and yet surprisingly enjoyable. Very good use of juice, and a nice balance of easy to get into but challenging to master.
Great game, simple and fun
