The art, music and gameplay are amazing. Everything feels extremely natural. I could really see this do great as a full game.

The settings menu doesn't seem to be implemented and the music was a bit too loud but otherwise I don't have anything to complain about :)

As I don't have a QWERTY keyboard, I was kind of confused about the controls at first but figured that one out pretty quickly :D

Thanks for the feedback and ideas for improvement!

Because this was a game jam entry I could not implement everything that I had planned. Torches / darkness and fast travel were definitely on the list.

So far the feedback has been very positive, so I am considering to turn this into a full game. Any further feedback is always welcome :)

Very nice rework! Especially the animations seem a lot more alive, well done!

If you want to keep improving the game after the jam, here are some ideas from my side :)

• You could consider to reduce the speed at which the player can look around (with high mouse sensitivity there are often problems when navigating in thess kinds of games)
• It might help to have a minimap showing all areas the player has already visited. This makes moving around the maze easier after collecting / destroying everthing in the way
• Instead of the bomb sprite you could use more actual enemies (maybe still bomb based) that move around the maze. That makes the shooting aspect more important 

Thanks for playing the game!

I had many ideas that I thought about implementing but couldn’t because of my limited time to work on the project. I tried to show that the NPCs are all self-centered (reflecting the confusion you had when reading the game’s name :D), and that the player feels unfulfilled with working in the mine. Seeing the current feedback, I might actually keep working on this afterward to make a bigger game out of it.

The coordinates were an initial concept for fast travel inside the mine, which I scrapped, however, because it didn’t feel like it improved the game loop in its current state.

I hope you enjoyed it, and good luck with your own project :)

It is honestly extremely impressive how good everything works together considering you used nothing but html and js.

Also cool to see how far this game has come since your first blog post

Really cool concept!! This arcade shader (i guess) is super cool!

Pushing gladiators into corners seems to be the meta :D

The stress level is a really cool concept that made me rage a few times when I forgot to keep an eye out for it

Well done! I really liked that you have recolors of the bomb for more variety!

Very nice! The way you implemented the tutorial text to go with the player is a great idea

Nice game! The cloud in the third level was a bit too high up (at least for me XD) so I always had to wait for it to come back down

Very cool idea! I think it could be even more fun if the entire movement woud just be based on the bomb

Great game design! Some hints would have been nice tho XD

Awesome design, shaders and particles!!

I am not sure if its just for me this way but the UI is cut off in fullscreen

Really fun once you are familiar with the controls. I would have loved to be able to destroy the icicles in the way!

I didnt get a single one :(

there was however like a portal in the middle of the map which I destroyed with a bomb

Really nice! The art is amazing and the song will probably haunt me for life. After the song stops there don't seem to be any sounds anymore

Once you get the hang of it, this is extremely fun to play! Great job! 

For a full game I would like to see a more cards or maybe even different kinds of bombs.

Thanks for playing the game! I really appreciate the feedback.

Also thanks for pointing out spelling errors (woopsie) XD

I love these kinds of games! However, I think that the bomb placement could have been a keyboard input (maybe it is but I could only figure out the mouse input)

Am I missing something? Where are the monsters?

Very cute aesthetics. I think it’s a bit unfortunate that you lose all your progress when you die, but overall it’s really nice. By the way, the skybox looks great (where is it from? :D). Also, your key-obtaining sound seems to cut off.

Very nice! Awesome sprites and animations! The music is great as well, although there is a part in the theme were it seems like the player is running out of time (like in Super Mario).

Also amazing with the dialogue. Overall a 5 star game for me. Let's see how many get to see the wizard hat ;)

Really interesting. The mechanic is quite special and I wish there would be a longer race track. Cool game :)

Great concept! Some sounds would be cool but I really enjoyed the game

Great concept, it looks amazing, sounds great and just feels really cool to play. I think there are a few things that could be improved like having a Key action to switch bewteen cats. Another thing that I noticed is that the dead cat can push blocks outside the screen. I am not sure if that was intended :)

But who cares, here are your 5*

Oh ok that's new..

I will take a look at it, thanks for pointing it out!

Really great concept, cool sounds and art looks amazing :)

Cute art but would have liked to have atleast a cat enemy. The QUIT button seems to crash the game

Nice game! Some sound effects would be cool. A few more levels would be cool too or a messge that all levels were completed

Cool idea and nice art! The overall positioning could be improved so that the cat is in the center of the screen and the live bar can be seen completely. 

Otherwise cool game :)

A dealing cat that's new.. XD

Really cool idea! The game can be improved obviously but you said that you were lazy so I hope this will be a future project of yours :D

Really like the music, idea is very cool :)

Really cool! The art is great and the music is amazing! I think it would be better to let the music continue on the game over screen

Nice game! I really like the music!!! One thing that is missing for me is that the mouse doesn't have a move animation, the smoke particle is great though!

Great music, cool idea! The text was a bit hard to read. Otherwise really great!

Really cool idea! I love these rage games XD

Two little things, however, I got stuck in the upper right corner and wasn't able to move further (the cat's huge cry face was up the entire time; which is a cool effect btw)

Another thing is that the beeping in the music was kind of annoying.

Great game :)

Really nice art! I think it would be better if the cat could walk on diagonal platforms 

Coop tetris is a really cool idea, I think during a game jam it is more like a play to tetris games at once but overall really cool.

I would have liked to hear some good old tetris music though :)

Really cool! Some background music and it would be perfect :D

The darkness mechanic is a bit confusing at first but when I understood it, it was really great!!
