I really like it very nostalgic, great game

A little bit of a learning curve but fun overall! Maybe add green-yellow-red transition to the timers on the bombs just to make it a little easier to know how close they are to exploding.

This was a fun, creative concept! It took me some time to adjust to the combat style but that's exactly what made the game fit so well into the theme. Nice job!

It felt like it was less a game about directly attacking enemies and more about setting up the environment for the kill, which is really cool

Cool concept, wish bombs had a more clear indication of when they're about to blow.
Great base for a cool game

This was so addicting I really love this. Killing and dodging all the enemies is so fun, music was nice too, I liked how it becomes quiet during the upgrades, nice touch.

Really fun, but it could use more visual feedback for when a bomb is about to explode.

very fun game, a bit punitive at times but I enjoyed the challenge. well done <3

Fun little game, good job!

Nice Idea. There can be two strategies: Just running away or grab-and-throw. I like the game that can make players to decide what to do in simple rules.

Super fun little roguelike! Simple concept but I think the upgrades and the relatively strict timing for hitting enemies keep it interesting. Good job!

I love the duality of the bombs as both your weapon and as a level hazard! Great game!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed the bombs as a weapon and hazard.  It was hard to pick them up with just clicks, though, and I found it difficult to know when they would explode.  Short and fun.

short and sweet experience, I like the visual polish and the two-way gimmick of the bombs being both a weapon and a threat!

A very fun game with a lot of potential.
Some feedback:
I did not enjoy the clicking to pick up bombs as i had to aim the mouse while trying to dodge enemies and also looking at bomb timers.  Maybe a press "E" to pick if close enough to bomb could work better.
The enemies flying over spikes was a disadvantage. I could not plant bombs and bait enemies  to stay near them (would have preferred this). This also blends into the next point which is that it is very hard to guess where the bomb is gonna be and where the enemies are gonna be by the time the bomb explodes. You could play around with concepts of sticky bombs or some other mechanic if you want, but it felt much more efficient to just walk around and dodge rather than throwing bombs.

A cool little game. I liked the core mechanics and having to time when to throw the dynamite (which is why I often blew myself up

Submitted(+1)

A very nice little game. The overall art size should've been just a bit bigger, but otherwise, its perfect. Good game

The fun title made me want to play this one. I wasn't very good at tossing the bombs so I just ended up running around trying to avoid the bombs and the monsters. It was still a fun game even though I was bad at it lol
