Tiny Bomber by naufr4g0
The game is a sort of puzzle game that uses bombs and sand!
Use sand to reach places not reachable with only your jumping ability!
You have one life and you start over when you lose.
Don't worry about this: the game is really short.
Have fun!

Arrow R/L: move
Arrow Up: jump

Arrow Down + X: place bomb
Arrow Up + X: throw up bomb
ESC: exit game
Enter: Retry on game over.

Bomb and exploration! What else can I say? :)
It took me about two minutes to leave the first room (aim the bomb to the borther of the floor on the right is not easy) but is a good training for the next stages! :D
Nothing bad to say here.
Bravissimo!
Only for your information, it didn't worked in my Mac and in my vmware windows 7 neither (msvcr100.dll error, I tried to download and install it without success).
I've tested in another PC with XP and finally can play it.
Cheers!
@TheGamingProject @bms @orgarus Thanks for your feedback! I'm happy you like the game, despite the difficult control system.
@machinas: I know there are some bugs and I'm working to remove them. I'll release soon a new build. :) "Infinite bombs" are an interesting idea. I could add a cheat mode enabled by pressing a sequence of keys. :) As reguard the tutorials I could add some tutorial screens in the beginning part, with istructions written on the wall, like in the first screen.
Well, great gameplay. I find it quite innovative, and it was really fun. I wish that there was a great designed level to play! If you ever do it, please, tell me!
I know that the level design could be much more polished, but the technical part took me a long time to be mastered.
Expect in the future new releases of this game, with more features and better polished level maps. :)
It runs well in Wine. Its very easy to get stuck, and restarting from the beginning every time gets frustrating. You also didn't say in game how to restart when you do get stuck.
Also if you try to throw a bomb when there is already one in the world, it delays it to be thrown after the first one explodes, which is odd behavior. Took a while to figure out why bombs were randomly being launched.
I also managed to break it by getting out the top of the first screen.
@Rémi : I'm happy you like the physics. It's fun for me to simulate interacting particles! :)
@dustmyte: Thanks! I love to do small animated graphics! :)
Good physics, challenging puzzles, cute hint.
