This is the kind of game where you go like "how did i not think of this earlier" cuz i can tell you this was such a creative concept and executed so well with the art and music! very very fun to play, and also very impressive for your first puzzle game ever!

Simple idea, but polished to the core

It was a pretty good game, the use of theme was done very well, both the bombs and the moves countdown implimented the theme in a creative way. Everything about the game including the audio and art was good. I only wis there were some more levels inbetween the existing ones, and I wish the progression level was a little slower. Solid entry to the gamejam. Good job!!

Every level was well done and super enjoyable. Great puzzle game!

I really loved this game, puzzle games are always a joy to play, and this one really stood out because of how precise the level design feels. The core mechanic is easy to understand, and the difficulty ramps up naturally as you progress.
I also really liked that most levels allow for different approaches. What seems like the obvious solution at first isn't always the right one, which makes solving each puzzle even more satisfying.
I had a great time playing it. Great job.

Cool puzzle game. The level design is quite thoughtful.

A simple puzzle game with a single core concept! I'm glad you left some room for error in the levels :)
Good job!

I forgot to remove the level editor! This was just supposed to be a feature for myself to make levels, but i forgot to turn it off at the end of development. If you want to use it press 0 to toggle it and 1 and 2 to choose items. It doesnt save if you reload the page and as it wasnt originally intended for users it has many bugs, you cant change the spawn point or the amount of  moves you have, maybe you could send a screen shot of levels you have designed. If i continue developing this  game i would add a feature that lets you make, save and load levels.

Great puzzle game :)

I had fun playing. It requires good strategy and planning without being too overwhelming. I like the soundtrack too. Some of the numbers on the bombs were a little difficult to read, so if there was a way to make them a little larger, I think that would be helpful.

Cool game, it softlocks if you paint yourself into a corner though. Cool concept, and amazing for a first try at a puzzle game.

Very clever concept that creates a lot of fun puzzle variation immediately!  Balancing both total moves and avoiding spots had me hopeful, dissapointed, then satisfied again.  I had to seriously think to understand how to beat the first proper puzzle but getting into the right mindset helped further.  I love the art and sound too even if simple - altogether nice and cohesive.  Nicely done!
