It looks like it would have been a really fun Bomberman-clone if you had more time to work on it. I had the chance to try with a second player, and it was fun. Some simple additions like a way to restart the level or tally a score would have made all the difference. Also, the way the characters bounce against objects is pretty disorienting.

I've seen your screens about it, let's see that you could do.

Bouncing is funny, graphics are neat, gameplay is promising! But how is it related to the the? Still, 5 overall!

nice bomberman tribute. I really like the walking sound effect - it fits just right with that retro gaming style.

Nice twist on bomberman. Oil barrels were a good addition to help keep the pace up with the single bomb at a time restriction.
