It's a basic but really fun platformer. I like the dynamite interactions and could see the idea expanding a lot!

I like the idea. It is definitely fun to play , but it is annoying that you can't see what's below you so you just end up kinda winging it and hoping that you land on ground.

OMG THE JUICE!! I've never seen so much screen shake in my life and I loved every second of it. Throwing out excessive amount of dynamite and watch the fireworks was so satisfying. Well done!

A very, very, very awesome game! This has so much juice, I think I just drank a coconut! Great job, and would love to see more games like this.

Well made game. There were a few spots where you could not know if the jump would put you on a platform or you would just fall down.

I really like the mechanics of dynamite jumping, it felt good to figure out the timing and consistently get huge jumps. I enjoyed how well you incorporated progressively-more interesting and challenging jumps to make.

That said, I kind of wished to see more use for the other mechanics - you can wait for them to explode, set throw power, and even nudge yourself in the air by firing but why do those when just shooting the dynamite at my feet pretty much solved everything?

The level exit sequence with the bartender and animations was very charming!

As others have said, the mechanic is really solid. The pixel art animations are also quite good, like the explosion and the bartender!

 Also, I think I might have found a minor bug. If you spam dynamites just before finishing a level and then exit, they'll all explode on the next stage. As I said, nothing major, since it doesn't impact the gameplay, but I thought you might have wanted to know. Good game!

Very fun and juicy game! The shotgun and dynamite had a real kick to them. Well done. The last level is a bit hard, but I did manage to win it. Nice graphics and fun to play. Thanks for the game!
