The alternation of ship and bomberman works well. The design of levels are very good for generated content. The bombs behaviour is a bit strange, some flames are sometime not working when bombs triggers themself. It would also be nice if moving monsters dies whenever their starting or ending square is burnt. And also display flames on top of indestructible walls is a bit weird, not displaying flame at all on thoses wall would be better I guess. Nice overall anyway !"},{"author_name":"namuol","author_uid":"12236","time":"May 6, 2012 @ 10:48am","epoch":1336300980,"text":"Pretty sweet.
