What a fun entry, really enjoyed this one, actually laughed on my first watch the ending was a really nice twist. You nailed the story telling on this one, the setup of the villain taunting or hero is very well-paced and you didn't spoil the ending at all. The villain animations are a really nice touch too, especially the watch checking one stood out to me. My main critique is with the color palette. I felt the brightness of the player, villain, and background green clashed heavily with the muted stone bricks and dynamite in the rest of the scene. The art itself was really well done but this minor thing hindered it a bit imo. Overall, I thought this was a very well told story with a neat presentation and some very solid writing. Great job!
edit: oh and the music slaps too, but like others have said missing a nice big explosion sfx
