Thought it was your basic platformer up until I saw how to use bombs. Then I just blew the crap out of everything! :) That was pretty fun, but the frame rate seemed to lag pretty significantly. I imagine each of those blocks might have been doing a bit too much causing the game to run a bit slowly. Overall cool dynamic terrain effects.
Nice block physics, with the sand and dirt and water. The water physics especially look like a tricky thing to implement, good work on that! The puzzle solving is fun. Nice sprite and animations -- especially when a block falls on your head!
There are some crashing issues, like if you hold down z and fire a bunch of cannonballs, which ended up stopping me from getting too far in the game.
Not bad. It got a bit repetitive after a while, and the knockback from the cannon made digging laterally pretty irritating. Overall it was a good entry, lots of content for 48-hours.
It runs terribly slow on my laptop, and game crashes but graphics and physics is good.
Some technical problems, but man , the game got me after a level 2 :)
the particles when collecting the treasure was such a rewarding experience. Like a happy little goldsplosion
Captain John. Arrrr!! This game is fun, but after some levels, I started to think if they were procedurally generated. Or if there was an end. After the second one I lost count (?). But I know I beaten more than 10.
Nice little terraria styled game. I really liked the collapsing dirt effect and the water dynamics.
Good ideas for a basic little platformer. I've been kicked off the computer so my daughter can play it, thanks.
runs too slow on my laptop to play ::::(((((, looks pretty coolcool
Most polished platforming mechanics I've seen so far this compo, but runs very poorly. You've managed to create an impressive amount of levels considering the time limit and the graphics are basic but pleasing. Good job!
I love the bombs. I just blow everything up until some rock falls on me.
I have a crash in the next area if I pick up something :c
But other then that. The game looked good!
Really cool! Ran fine for me. I love the feel of the bombs and the attention to detail with the grass animation
Well that's fun isn't it? Excellent pixel art. You get splatted a lot, but it always feels like your own fault.
Not réally innovative, but like the way you worked it out. Fun to play, clean game. but drop the bomb sfx pls
Very nice!
I had some performance issues but other than that I enjoyed it very much. It's a very satisfying feeling wrecking havoc with the bombs and it was funny the first time I got squashed by my own greediness.
It would be nice to be able to go back a level since I accidentally jumped to the next one.
It's laggy, it crashes, and it's fun!
I love Captain John's movement animation.
i had to install directplay to play it ;p i like the fluidity of it.. and love the little particle anims when you pick up a treasure.. crashed if i set too many bombs off tho ..good job :)
Really fun and interesting, some levels are challenging, not bad! :P, graphics are nice too
It's odd that I can throw more bombs in late levels but if I throw more than one at a time on the third level(first bomb level) I almost always crash.
The mechanics and concept are very cool. I stopped on the level with row of chests because too many bombs were required to get through all the dirt and I kept crashing :]
Best entry so far. I love how you can blow up everthing with enough patience.
Cool game, feels good to break everything with bombs :D
The music makes me want to move ^-^
Unfortunately it crashes on Windows 8 due to that nasty Game Maker sound glitch. Also I'd recommend to put the file into a ZIP rather than making it a raw EXE download because antivirus programs typically don't like that.
Bonus points for destructible terrain and particle physics! Too bad it crashes often. Keep it up!
Other than the crashes, showed a lot of potential, and a lot of fun.
aaargh. neat game with cool graphics - too bad it kept crashing on me. good job.
Really fun, however I had some trouble in understanding the trigger for the blocks to fall, but it seemed like the explosions could trigger this + some stochastic transistion
Crashes if you throw too many bombs.
But overall is a small and enjoyable game.
Love the physics. Other than it laggy, the game is quite good. :)
pretty good, nice well polished gameplay. just a bit too shallow.
My question is this: where are all the bombs coming from?
Perhaps it's best not to know.
I really like how the world falls on you. It's great that it's not simply an average platformer, it allows for some much more interesting puzzles.
Pretty fun (in a Terraria like way).
Had a random bug where I glitched through walls though.
Awesome, Captain John is awesome! Can't find a fault in this. I'm running on a laptop but no performance problems whatsoever.
Loved bombing everything into oblivion until it crashed. Had a nice run though.
Overall presentation is good. Controls are responsive. I liked the Dig Dug + Terraria + sort of real physics mix. And you managed to make a lot of levels.
Solid throught and through.
You should do a post jam version for sure. Good work on the controls very fluid.
Fun little game. Maybe needs some polishing on the controls, but anyway, was fun blowing everything up!
You did very well! Those ratings :/, This game was very fun for me, I don't care what people rates but this game was fun for me and I loved the style and the idea. I hope you make a new game for ludum dare 30! I'm making a list of people who made me have a good time and are going to participate in ld30, you are one of them and I wanna rate your next game :), so let me know if you are gonna participate! The next time i'm gonna be in the jam! Really good luck!

You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
First off, the game crashes if you flood bombs! Other than that, nice game. The theme is not that clearly visible in this one, though. Audio is fine, and graphics are good enough. Solid. :)
