Cool and simple, good job! Keep it simple is my favourite design principle as it is always so difficult to do that, but so effective if mastered. I really enjoyed this product.

Cool idea, it's quite similar to "There is no game". Has the music been made in Chrome Music Lab?

creative idea, but bad graphics and i had no idea you need to press "b" to place a bomb. also not too detailed, and very much like the game "there is no game"

I do not really know about the "there is no game" game so I cannot comment on that. About the graphics, my friend, Harrydadev, was supposed to do that but he fell ill and could not help and I had to do it and my art skills are not very good.

Apologies for that. My friend, Harrydadev, was supposed to help with the game but he fell ill so he could not help, and I had to finish a lot of it myself, so the quality was reduced :(
