One of the more fun and original games Ive played so far! Also liked the graphics! Good job on this one, some of the stages were actually very hard

I really liked this one. With the ability to slowdown/speedup the bomb recharge as well as the detonation time you can make a lot of different puzzles. Good job!!

It's a nice puzzle game, though I the mechanics were explained a little bit better

Its incredible how good you have adapt those old NES/SNES style. I do pretty like the idea of the game. Very good job.

An awesome game the music was great(although kinda repetetive) the kinda nes like artstyle was fun too look at, the levels were engaging the sfx was simple but good. Overall this has the potential to be a full game in my opinion if you added a few more mechanics on its and more levels and then put it on steam and slapped a 5-10 dollar price tag on it i would propably buy it

I really like the NES-aesthetic! The music track is also good, but was bit too much after a while for me.

Good job!

The graphics are beautiful and the idea is really good, although it doesn't make any sense for a squirrel to blow up eggs with bombs (sorry for that comment but I'm a big fan of stories). The puzzles were a lot of fun despite being easy. Music well done but a very small looping. Try doing something bigger next time. You must take this game forward and build something bigger. Congratulations!!!

My only complaint is the 8 second music loop that gets annoying after a while. Graphics are great, and this could certainly be expanded into a much larger game; the existing mechanics have a lot of potential on their own, and with more mechanics you could make some very challenging and complex puzzles.

I played this one on stream last night! unfortunately the VOD got muted, so no link :(

it's a nice game! managed to beat it in the on-stream run even though I was getting extremely tired haha

took me a while to understand the arrow mechanics, and I'm not sure I would have ever figured out the kicking mechanic without help :sweat_smile:

very fun and cute little game :)

Love the game!! Honestly the only downside I see is the music loop. I wish it blended more seamlessly into itself and had a slight more variety. It was really grinding my gears after a while. I'd love to see more levels if you guys decided that you want to expand on this though!!

This is just lovely, it brings me back to my childhood WIN95 machine with free demo discs (god... I miss those). Well done ! Clever mechanics and love me some nice pixel art. The audio loop is perhaps a bit short BUT... in all fairness, this is LD. Well done and congratulations with a lovely game !

Thank you so much for sending me this on stream, incredible game! Its extremely well polished and you've really captured the art style you went for. Its quite difficult to capture that NES look authentically and you've done so very well. I also think the character design and sound effects are very cute :)

Very fun and original gameplay mechanic and I'm glad I was able to beat it in the end after many tries haha. Well done on getting this completed in the deadline!

unfortunately i was not able to play it myself since i'm not on windows, but i've seen some stream about it, and i really liked the graphics. the mechanics are clever. i can't judge the controls or the game feeling, but seeing it played was nice to watch, so i think it's a pretty good thing!

I played this for you on [stream](https://www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet) and I think I gave good feedback there, if so give a heart, and if not, don't!!
