How does the game fit the theme?
This game is focused on a crazy miner throwing grenades in enclosed spaces at monsters and flying via the explosion's shockwave. What could possibly go wrong?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything was created during the jam except for the bomb sprite (I made it for a previous project) and the cave enviroment, which is made up of default Unity sprites (squares, hexagons, etc).

Feels good but there is some stuff that could be better. Great game otherwise!
Others have mentioned that there are some polish things that could be done, but the premise is fun! Reminds me of rocket jumping, which I love.
my helmet is rotating LOL ,this little game is so fun to play,love the art design and game mood
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Actually a fun game,
sometimes those bomb jumps felt a bit random, so that is something to investigate, I once got a whole red bar and not died, which is cool but I don't if intentional or a bug.
But still I love the hat flip, I love jumping and throwing bombs, overall a really cool idea :3
Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into the bombs bug you mentioned. As for the health bar, it is comprised of a green bar starting off being fully filled across a red bar. Sometimes, the green bar will shrink to the point that only the border is left, which blends I to the red. I meant to fix it, but it completely slipped my mind 😅
I like the style, fun game.
as feedback, :
- may be take more time to polish your game. The base idea is pretty cool but a little more juicy and it can be awsome !
- add more feedback, sometime it's hard to read what happen
But it"s a cool game good job team !
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely make sure to try and better polish future games.
loved the game concept
Nice little game, i loved the hat spinning round when he jumped (dude needs a chin strap)
Fun mechanics I like going around throwing grenades and bobing around the map as a miner, level difficulty is also pretty balance. At the start I keep bombing myself then i keep dying and I'm like huh then I walk pass the text of don't get hit by your bombs then I'm like oh. My own critique is like for the enemy projectile is a so small and hard to notice sometimes.
Thanks for the feedback! I do agree that the monster's projectiles could do to be a bit more visible.
The bomb mechanic made this game easily 10x better. Loved the idea. The visuals were really sweet and simple too like the hat spinning. I only wish the music was a bit less repetitive, but great job overall!
Thanks! I have no experience with music creation and I forgot about it until late the last day, so I didn't expect it to be any good. The first time I tried it I think I managed to create some new, cruel form of torture 😂
I always appreciate a good bomb jump mechanic, and the flipping hat animation made me happy. Overall, I think this is a great concept, nice work!
Thanks for the comments! I never expected my little hat animation to be such a hit 🤣
It's always the little things haha!
Nice game ! Congratss !! Movement could be a little smoother, but the bombs are awesome, cool concept and fits the theme =)
Thanks for the feedback!
the bombs are so satisfying. you nailed that part so hard
I am glad you enjoyed it!
This was such a simple concept but my god the rocket jumping was soo fun to speed through the levels! Also the way the dude's hat kept flipping had me chuckling. Great job guys!
Thanks! I was playing around with animations and I hoped people would like the hat
The bombs felt nice to throw and the graphics gave the game a lot of character. The flying mechanic was well executed. It would be helpful if the bomb had a visual radius so the player could get a feel for when they would take damage. The level progression was nice and the map design led to some fun moments. I enjoyed the music too. I loved the players hat flip animation. Great submission!
Thanks! I've tried and tried to get the bomb to be more visible, and I just can't get it to work 😅
Bombs ftw 💣
Quite a fun game! I didn't have enough dynamics, but I liked flying away from the bombs. However, I died several times trying to take off :D
Thanks! Tbh, I haven't actually beaten the game in one go; I kill myself trying to take off too🤣
But it's fun :D
