A good use of the theme ! The art was neat and the game was polished. But the game was hard and the E & R buttons made it more harder. And the walk animations doesn't work when the Arrow keys are used.
Oh oops! The game engine I was using had arrow keys implemented as default movement, and it seems like I had completely forgotten to remove that feature, thus animation does not with arrow keys. Even so, the tutorial did said "WASD to move" and did not mention about arrow keys. Thanks for the feedback though!
for me, it was to hard. the controls were weird, and i couldn't figure out what to do at times. great game. hard, but cool.
Very cool game but too hard for me :sob: (I suck at video games).
Very neat game, and great use of the theme. I thought the art and polish was great, and I like how you not only had to throw the bombs out of the castle area, but you also had to aim them towards the enemies. My one complaint is that I'm not a big fan of the "e" and "r" controls. I wish it could have just been "e" for both pickup and throw, which would have made things feel a less clunky.
Hello! thanks for trying out my game! I definitely agree with you that there should be only one button for the bombs. However, during development, implementing this has caused a bug where a bomb gets picked immediately after the previous one has been thrown, making the controls quite weird. Didn't have time to think of another solution to this, so i just went for the 'e' and 'r' controls :P
I like the retro style a lot and was a good way to use the theme.

Cool idea, I wish the player had 8-directional movement though.
Clever use of the 'keep it away', pretty fun.
Very nice game design!!
Pretty good game. Love the graphics. No diagonal movement and needing to press E then R to throw bombs makes the game way too sluggish, though. Throwing and grabbing bombs definitely needs to just be one button.
Had a ton of fun with it otherwise, though. Got a high score of 16500.
i found a glitch that when certain bombs are near, you can pick them all up! used it to my advantage and got 3000! great job had fun playing it
Haha nice! Found out about that glitch early in development too but i decided to make it a feature as it makes the game more enjoyable haha. Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool game, but a bit hard
Good game
