Man this is cool! Considering how amazingly well done every other part of this entry is, I think the gameplay could be a little tighter. 

Feels like the bombs should probably block you and enemies walking past, and they should get placed on the grid so you know exactly where they're going to go and how far the blast will reach. Falling of platforms and ladders also somehow feels wrong, like you're able to slide around horizontally in a way that you wouldn't have in something like donkey kong.

Honestly this is a few tweaks away from being perfect, Great work!

Wow. It reminds me of Bubble-Bobble, with Bombs! Good work, it catches that retro feel very well.

Thanks for all the great comments :)

Freaking good!!!

great game

This game is amazing. Keep up the good work!

The memories from my Colecovision came flooding back to me, and that devil is horrifying...in a good way. Bomb blasting enemies was tricky, but it's just a timing thing to get used to. 

Any chance you could extend the range where the player can leave a ladder to step onto the platform by a pixel or two?

Well polished and well done!

Gonna try this out during the weekend.

thanks - let me know if there is anything you think might improve things :)

I've just tried it a few minutes and it is really cool.
