Rocks-n-Blaster by HuntTheWumpus
update #2: I provided an additional love file for macos which uses the space key for laying bombs (since some mac machines don't have a right control key). The other versions are kept the same. (I hope this conforms to the rules.)
Instructions for macos uesrs: (untested, since I don't have a mac myself)
The love2d engine is available for mac here: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/love-0.8.0-macosx-ub.zip
From the love2d webiste:
> On Mac OSX, a folder or .love file can be dropped onto the Love.app application bundle. On the Mac OSX Terminal (commandline), you can use love like this (assuming it's installed to the Applications directory): open -n -a love "/home/path/to/game"
(More instructions: http://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started )
update: I FINALLY GOT INTERNET :) So. Dropbox link ftw ^^
old entry:
Jay. My internet broke down.. Tethering FTW. Main download is on google drive.. Which doesn't download automatically.. Please click on File -> Download. Sorry for that, but dropbox didn't like my Tethering.
So. It's Rocks-n-Blaster, a boulderdash/bomberman type game. But You Only Get One Bomb ;-) Tutorial included.
Written in lua with LOVE2D 0.8.0, Tiled level editor, The GIMP, and many other things.
The Rocks-and-Blaster.exe file can usually be run in linux as well. Just make sure you have installed LOVE 0.8.0 and type
$ love Rocks-and-Blaster.exe
Have fun!

You designed some nice levels with a bunch of variety between them. You also seemed to delight in dangling victory in front of the player before cruelly snatching it away. Good job! :)

You will need a right control key though.
@squibbons: Neat idea. Unfortunately no, there's only one solution. :(
In fact, the controls were my only problem with the game. WASD would have been a nice option to have, since I'm more used to moving with my left hand now. It also would have been nice if you'd made the movement snap to the grid (still smoothly sliding between them), as that way there wouldn't have been the problem fitting through gaps.
Overall a good entry, though.
