This looks fantastic and has a very interesting and enjoyable game mechanic with a quirky point of view. :) Awesome animations too, cool take on the theme. :) Rated highly. :)

Graphics and audio were very well done. It was pretty fun just running around and shouting at people. Near the end it got like "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" :)

This game is pretty great~ It has a nice concept, fits the theme, some pretty cool graphics, a catchy beat, and (best of all) Batman.

You get high ratings from me too. It is somewhat frustrating that its so easy to drop the bomb when trying to use the stairs though.

The mechanic wasn't obvious, the graphics are funny.

Cool pixels and nice theme, it reminds me a lot of the Geek culture, I like it :) But I think the control is a bit wierd, why the input buttons are "ZYW"? Is it some kind of joke that I don't get the point? Nicely done overall :)

Z / W / Y - performs the same action. So you can play using only Z X buttons.
We added W and Y buttons, because on German and French keyboards there is W and Y buttons instead of Z.

We had bad feedbacks because of this issue in the past.

I love the overall look and feel. It is really funny. I found myself at little bit in distress with the keys. I'd rather go with the four arrows for up/down the stairs and left/right. But overall it is a great entry.

The graphics and soundtrack are great! The game's concept is neat and funny.

The control scheme was a little confusing though, imho.

Should probably have made pick up bomb and use stairs a different button, I was frequently entering stairs when I was trying to pick up a bomb that had spawned on them.
Good job though, very funny idea and the graphics are great :D

Always love for Batman. Crazy and fun game! Sometimes the bombs spawned right before the staircases and were a bit tricky to pick up. Otherwise a nice game :)
