In what way does your game fit the theme?
In this game the goal is to blow up an island, and placing explosives closer together, creates stronger explosions.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Not all assets were made by us. Everything was made by me, and @IndieWafflus, besides:

- Skybox from the Fantasy Skybox Free Asset.
- Sand texture from Tileable Pack 01 Free Asset.
- Song "Sea Shanty 2", belongs to Runescape, and was created by Ian Taylor.
- Water shader was created by following the 3D Stylized Water with Refraction and Foam Shader Graph - Unity Tutorial from Binary Lunar on YouTube.
- Explosion particles effect was created by following the Unity - VFX - Toon/Anime Explosion Tutorial from WuzzyWizard on YouTube.

The game is good. But the mouse sensitivity is really too high.

Interesting concept to apply the theme. I saw a twitch streamer playing a similar game before with fireworks, reminds me of that game (can't remember its name)

Mouse sensitivity made the game a lot harder, I had this issue with multiple 3d games in this jam that did not include a setting for mouse sensitivity.

The barrels rolling around made a little bit tough to setup glorious chain explosions :)

Normally I would write out a long review for each game I play, but lately I haven't had much time to do so. I hope what I said in the video is helpful feedback!

Very fun game and graphics, but mouse sensitivity was too high.

Satisfying gameplay, it always feels good to blow stuff up. I wish the controls were a bit tighter, it's not a platformer game, so the player shouldn't really think about the movement. The relation to the theme is phenomenal and totally unexpected.

BOOM = FUN. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO satisfying to see all these things blow up. Graphics are very nice (water shader is kinda fucked but still doesn't matter). Audio is very nice, but my ears blew up after being in the middle of the explosion. There is only one thing left to say: I NEED MORE!!!

Boom. Is. Fun.

It's nice to see a 3d game because there aren't many in the jam. The sensitivity of the mouse was way too fast that it made my head hurts :P

Other than that I think everything is good. Good job :D

This game is really fun and it's great too see more 3D games in this Jam as it is mostly 2D games, good work!

Thanks! I was going to upload a version with a mouse sensitivity slider but seems like uploads are disabled for the duration of the jam :/

Green will show up even if you have used all your explosives limit, so keep that in mind.

Thank you for trying it out!

Sorry guys, I couldn't work out what was going on here. I managed to drop dynamite and cause it to explode with the button, but even when doing that with a barrel, it didn't seem to do any damage, either insider or outside a structure.

Also, the mouse was massively over-sensitive. Walking up the planks on the water tower was very difficult.

Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!

Every object has HP, and every explosion takes away some of it's HP, some objects are very sturdy while others are not. You can break smaller things to get enough money to buy more explosives.

We've also added an Instructions area in our game page so that you don't feel so lost anymore.

Thank you for trying it out!
