The absolute definition of the jam, loved it!!
It was cool how everything interacted with another and how polished the game is.
Very fun game!
I was born to play this gave 5 out 5 in every metric
The game was really fun the music and sfx where exelent puting presure but energy at the same time the graphics are good I really enjoyed this game.Good job.
Interesting take on the classic hot potato, I like it!
Keep up the good work!
bomber man remake, and damn the game have a final boss that's crazy, the most fun game I've played in this jam so far!
This was super fun! I love the variety of bombs and levels, and the mix between frantically placing bombs and coming up with strategies (and accidentally blowing yourself up).
I didnt expect a bossfight its very good
Great concept! "Bomberman" with timers on bombs , and destructions can chain! nice game!
Really fun!
I like the variety of different level types and how they can feel different to play with the different bomb types.
Being forced to drop the bombs constantly adds the right amount of pressure and with the different types having different count downs its fun to try and chain them together if you get a type with a shorter time than the one you just dropped
Fun arcade game!
My poor penguin didn't survive. I bombed, lasered, nuked and torpedoed myself so many times but it was extremely enjoyable
Well done
I really like how you took the same set of bombs and had the player use them in different level types. The level variety made it feel like one of those old arcadey plug-and-play games where you had 50 different games in one. The music also perfectly captures that vibe as well. Nicely done!
my poor poor penguin got blown up so many times, but i really enjoyed this game lol! it was fast paced but i didn't feel panicked or like the timing was too quick. the graphics were really nice, i love the penguin heaps! this is my first experience with a bomberman game and i quite enjoyed it, well done! <3
Loved the feeling of urgency imposed by the constant dropping of bomb and great choice of music!
The first thing that came to mind was the Romestead, but it's completely different. This game makes more flexible use of bombs and countdowns. It's amazing!
It designed like an arcade game I really like it. Well done!
Hi. I just want to say that your bomberman like game is excellent. I really enjoyed it. Congratulations.
Why did I choose the friendly bomb ~_~
This was fun :D
The friendly bomb is a top-tier pick imo since you can use it to stall and get to safety when your other bombs are about to explode (though I usually avoid picking up a second one if I can)
Dropping explosives through portals onto the penguin keeps the gameplay super engaging, and the varied level concepts stop it from getting boring or repetitive. It's really enjoyable to play through, and the news article backstory gives it so much charm, great work!
Cute penguin you have here!
What can I say, the spritesheet is literally named "cute.png" 😄
