An interesting concept! The art and sound is extremely well done for such a fast project and shows some real talent. However the game's direction (or lack there of) lets it down.
1: There is no clear indicator of how to progress or even a simple tutorial. While discover-able game-play is always great, with ProcGen, it's just not realistic to expect players to understand. 2: The major mechanic, exploding every 10 seconds, is poorly represented, with no visual element to tell you how long it is until your next explosion. 3: Death happens at random for poorly explained reasons. Could be fixed with better explanation. 4: Explosions could be way more impactful; blowing up many blocks in one strike would provide urgency and also make the explosions far more impressive.
Still, it was fun running around on the first level for a bit, seeing the cute main character and hearing his lil explosion noises! Good work.
