A very fun and engaging game! I love the music in the last 10 seconds, very frantic. Great work!

@i-cam The music changes with every 5 points (up to 15)! Though kinda hard to tell since they'll both progress steadily but time may have even been the way to go so that you hear it all when time runs out!

This is a really simple but fun game. Dashing feels pretty good and goes pretty far so it feels nice to snipe guys at a distance. I was able to get a high score of 30 which feels pretty good. There seemed to be set spawning with a timer so is there a hypothetical "top score" or is there no limit?

@smoore that makes sense, I saw FMOD in the zip so that makes sense, great use of middleware on a short timeframe!

it's cute how the music changes through the game play

Cool

Obviously not really a looker, but oh my god this game is **FUN**. And the adaptive music is a great touch.

But seriously, the mechanics here are both dead simple and rock solid. This is fantastic work. Love it.

Always impressive to post a compo game! Well done :)

Super fun game! I loved the little critters, and the arcadey feel of this game. I also love the adaptive music! Super impressed to see that level of thought and execution put into a compo entry. It compliments the gameplay really well and oh boy is that an addicting combo. Well done!

a Joyfull bombershark) music is... interesting.

I didn't get a hang of the mechanics quickly, but to repeat what others have said, it's a fun clicky mechanic. Knocking them directly from the top lane is fun. Don't think the bombs are helpful in the game tho? thanks for making it!!

Fun little game! Nice moment figuring out you can just sortof punt them from the top platform, but if it gets totally covered it can be difficult to interact with at all. I would also look into trying something like one-way platforms to make the movement a little more permissive, like you can jump or get knocked through the bottom of a platform and land on the top.

Wow, this took me by surprise, and it kept getting better the more I learned, like throwing the bomb, bumping into the creatures and then throwing them! It proved to be rather hard but surprisingly satisfying.

This was a great arcade type game. The controls took a few rounds to get used to but once I had them down I had a lot of fun. I loved the chaotic pacing and the music matched it well. Great job.

The movement and bouncing around with the bombs feels super smooth, well done!
