I love the bomb mechanic! It was *just* hard enough to give me those "Ohhh, now I get it" moments!

Nice game! Surprisingly little hitbox jank for the concept so well done!

I loved the idea and the music was amazing. Very well done on those points. For puzzle design, I think there's two ways of thinking about it, neither of which are wrong. Either you want a very narrow exacting way to play or you loosen up and fudge the physics and reward the thinking part not punish the bad execution. I couldn't get past level 3 but I think I had the right idea. Might be a skill issue on my part though. Still, I found it a bit tough. Even the level 2 bounce took me a few tries.

Very well done, I really liked the style and gameplay. One question, was the music inspired by cuphead? Very cool.

Actually, the song is from an exceptional artist that offers a large catalog if credited, absolutely think everyone should check them out! 
Music is:

Interesting mechanics but could use some tighter level design.

Really interesting concept! Thought it was gonna run worse in the browser but it actually went pretty well :>

amazing fun concept, unfortunaly my short fuse for puzzles didnt let me get far bu it was a very creative phisycs base puzzle that call to my primal urges to bomb myself and local factories

Short and sweet but so fun and quirky to play! The bounces and timers were great uses of a bomb mechanic - great submissioN!

You have a really cool game mechanic, I like it. The levels were also cool, I loved launching myself using my other self.  Really nice and polished entry overall.

I really liked this game, I love the mechanic but it was anoying sometimes when you just finished the level, and then you have to do it again because one of those blue boxes were at the end. But overal, really good game

Nice game! Took me a while to figure out some of the more nuanced mechanics, but the tips are all there on the wall! Well done!

That time mechanic was really cool! It combined with the explosive made the game really fun!

Especially the starting levels, the way new mechanics were getting introduced every level
First the explosion
Then the timing mechanic
And to top it all up, the boost you get from another bomb

But I feel like it could have grown more, I was expecting stuff like setting up 2 bombs to perform a combo, like more complicated stuff which required the player to actually think as to how and where to place a bomb. (It reminded me of portal lmao)

After beating the game, I was left wanting more, which is a good thing, as you can expand the game much further lateron. I can see this idea resulting many fun puzzles!

You did a great job! :D

Really cool game! The music is so goofy and the design is nice, I love it. Level 3 was so difficult🥲
