How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
Because you're a pinguin wich cant fly orjump high you instead use bombs to get around

This is an easy 5/5 across the board. Simple idea executed flawlessly for such a short jam period. Sad I only recently discovered this one.
My Gripes:
- Not being able to strafe in the air feels like an arbitrary limitation, and not a good one in my opinion
- Visual indication of some sort for when the bomb explodes would have been a nice addition
- Player movement sounds and feels good but visual looks stiff. The particles are perfectly fine but more animation would have gone a long way to juice everything up
Seriously though, once again, this is basically the perfect jam game. Not a flawless game, but a nicely polished experience that executes a good idea well. Very impressive!

PropagateAdorable and really fun game. The main thing that would improve it is allowing the player to easily inch forward one pixel at a time, like in Mega Man. Lining up the final bomb launch was way harder than it should've been, because tapping the button for milliseconds too long would move me too far and screw up the trajectory.

The Sisyphean Ninja Escape SequenceReally great idea here, and well executed! I think this was just a me thing but it took me more time than I would like to admit to find out that the bombs would shoot you off in a velocity relative to your position of the bomb and not just upwards. Loved the gameboy artstyle, and the audio was pretty fun too (though could have benefitted from some cute penguin noises). Great job!
Penguin is very cute! Very nice job in the art! great choice of palette! It was very fun to play! Fav++

WrenchformCool game. I love how you drop bomb to fly. Sometimes it gets a bit hard. Also the in air movement is a bit messed up especially when you try jumping then moving, but I do see why you did this so you couldn't just fly through the air and choose where you want to go after using a bomb. Other than that very well polished and a very fun game!!

Slicey BulletThis game is amazing! The graphics are incredible, the sfx works well with them, the bomb mechanic is easy to understand and works well. The length of the game is perfect for a game jam game, in my opinion. It does not need to be longer. The game is overall very polished.

Fine DiningBombguin Ups and Downs
Ups:
- The graphics are incredible. They really capture the aesthetic of a classic Gameboy game!
- The audio is also top notch
- The concept of moving through the level by explosion knockback is really clever and used really well!
- Explosion knockback feels super satisfying
Downs:
- ...
Seriously, I can't really think of anything wrong with this game, other than that it's pretty short. But given the limited time frame of the game jam, this is pretty understandable. Awesome job!
