Hello Pirate Jammer, Thank you for the submission. Starting with my experience playing the game. This is a pretty weird one, the random background art that resembles genitals notwithstanding, I thought it was fun if a little punishing on some of the platforming. I ended up screen transitioning weird a bunch and getting killed or disorientated. The art was simple and mostly cute mario-esque. You would want to clean up some of the memes for a release of a game like this. I liked the background music and the sound effects were funny. Finally, the GDD you made ticked all my boxes and you executed well, if silly goblin style, on what you set out to do with the time you had. Thanks again!

Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes Sir!

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes Sir!

Summarise your game!
Be the Bomb jumping, running and exploding to reach a hand to be thrown.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You play as the ultimate weapon... the Bomb! Also the wordplay made me laugh so i went with it. Second brainstorm was mind as weapon so i tried to give you a beutiful story instead of destruction at the end. Thank you for the oppurtonity to learn more about myself. Much gratitude.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Added the Mahvel Babee! because of my background as a Pro Gamer... i just had to ^^

Got to level 3. Funny game. I noticed your "hanging bush." e_e also the jumps should reset if you land on a red orb. The death orbs also look like the red orbs... why?

Haha love the sound effects. I didn't have time to play for long but the controls felt pretty good. Managed to get to what I think was the first checkpoint. The level design also seemed fairly complex.

Wasn't sure what the deal was with the red blobs though. The blue ones seemed top be switches but I didn't notice anything change from the red?

I had fun with this!

Help, My Fishing Rod is Cursed!

Very good. Gameplay is a bit confusing though. There are red cirles , should I destroy them or not? Also they look too similar to spike red balls, and I feel I wander randomly without clear goal, there is no enough curiosity or sense of exploration.

Fun game, love the concept! Big fan of the voice acting as sound effects, made me chuckle. The player character moves a little slow for my liking but still really cool submission.

Some checkpoints would be nice, also those voice lines are hilarious! I just love how flatly you said "You're dead" it was really funny.

Hehe. Thank you it was really fun recording.

I'd recommend adding some more checkpoints so the player doesn't have to start from the beginning if they die. Good job !!

This is a really nice game! A bit of feedback: I think a bit more direction and guidance would go a long way. Sometimes I died because it wasn’t clear something was going to hurt me or not. Maybe consistently using the colors to indicate danger would be a way to alleviate that! Great work!

Also love the notebook entries on your GDD! :D

Loved the sound effects lmao. I wish there would be a little bit more feedback on what the player is supposed to do or accomplish. I wasn't sure if I had to explode the red coins and I was also killed by thinking I had to blow up some of the fire balls. I like the simplicity of it with the artstyle and it's nice on the controlls. Good job!

Thank you.
