The game I enjoyed the most so far, you can see that the retro theme is very well applied. The gameplay is a lot of fun, the puzzle mechanics are well executed - not too difficult but definitely not boring. The music is great, giving off a total Bomberman vibe. 10/10.

Very nice, and very polished for a jam game! It looks nice; you've designed some interesting mechanics, and you've even somehow had the time to put all that together in a way that is fun and puzzley. Wowee!

Small issue, and didn't really have any effect on my rating now that I think about it, but a restart button would be really nice. The number of times that my stupid stuff would end up with the green... stuff(?) everywhere and in need of a restart were countless.

Again, that's a very small thing. Overall, this is freaking great!

Super fun. One of the best games from the jam for sure. 

I love the aesthetic and the puzzle/action gameplay.

I also agree with the group. 

A visual cue to indicate blast radius would be super helpful. Failing that, having bomb placement snap to the grid for it's initial placement would also allow the player to predict what will happen.

 Remote detonation would be a huge plus as well, though maybe that's not the style of play you want.

Overall super impressive, and I hope you keep working on it!

Thanks!

Quite nice, the water got really annoying when you killed all the enemies but a puddle of water prevents you from going to the next level

Nice twist on top of the original game! 

One thing I think would make the game better is to have a clear visuals showing the size of the explosion (similar to the original where players can see exactly how many block the explosion will reach.).

A really fun Bomberman throwback! Runs butter-smooth (except when exploding the gunpowder barrels, which makes the game lag temporarily)

A few problems: 1. Being able to blow up the slimes is a bit too tricky. You should have a button/an option to detonate the bombs prematurely 2. This is really nitpicky but there's no pause- nor restart-button

Very retro! I really like the puzzles because of the challenging enemies. Really cool that the bombs shoot eachother around.

Good job!

Jam winner spotted.

Honestly this isn't even a "puzzle" game, it's just an action game that's super fun. I love fighting the spiral so much, this needs to be an open-world mmorpg now.

This was initially created as an action game, but I couldn't resist adding some puzzle elements. Once a puzzle man, always a puzzle man

Not bad. Very good!

Very fun, and mixes a lot of puzzle elements with the combat!
