First off, the game crashes if you flood bombs! Other than that, nice game. The theme is not that clearly visible in this one, though. Audio is fine, and graphics are good enough. Solid. :)
Thought it was your basic platformer up until I saw how to use bombs. Then I just blew the crap out of everything! :) That was pretty fun, but the frame rate seemed to lag pretty significantly. I imagine each of those blocks might have been doing a bit too much causing the game to run a bit slowly. Overall cool dynamic terrain effects.
Nice block physics, with the sand and dirt and water. The water physics especially look like a tricky thing to implement, good work on that! The puzzle solving is fun. Nice sprite and animations -- especially when a block falls on your head!
There are some crashing issues, like if you hold down z and fire a bunch of cannonballs, which ended up stopping me from getting too far in the game.
Not bad. It got a bit repetitive after a while, and the knockback from the cannon made digging laterally pretty irritating. Overall it was a good entry, lots of content for 48-hours.
Captain John. Arrrr!! This game is fun, but after some levels, I started to think if they were procedurally generated. Or if there was an end. After the second one I lost count (?). But I know I beaten more than 10.
Nice little terraria styled game. I really liked the collapsing dirt effect and the water dynamics. Good ideas for a basic little platformer. I've been kicked off the computer so my daughter can play it, thanks.
Most polished platforming mechanics I've seen so far this compo, but runs very poorly. You've managed to create an impressive amount of levels considering the time limit and the graphics are basic but pleasing. Good job!
I had some performance issues but other than that I enjoyed it very much. It's a very satisfying feeling wrecking havoc with the bombs and it was funny the first time I got squashed by my own greediness.
It would be nice to be able to go back a level since I accidentally jumped to the next one.
i had to install directplay to play it ;p i like the fluidity of it.. and love the little particle anims when you pick up a treasure.. crashed if i set too many bombs off tho ..good job :)
It's odd that I can throw more bombs in late levels but if I throw more than one at a time on the third level(first bomb level) I almost always crash.
The mechanics and concept are very cool. I stopped on the level with row of chests because too many bombs were required to get through all the dirt and I kept crashing :]
Cool game, feels good to break everything with bombs :D The music makes me want to move ^-^ Unfortunately it crashes on Windows 8 due to that nasty Game Maker sound glitch. Also I'd recommend to put the file into a ZIP rather than making it a raw EXE download because antivirus programs typically don't like that.
Really fun, however I had some trouble in understanding the trigger for the blocks to fall, but it seemed like the explosions could trigger this + some stochastic transistion
Overall presentation is good. Controls are responsive. I liked the Dig Dug + Terraria + sort of real physics mix. And you managed to make a lot of levels. Solid throught and through.
You did very well! Those ratings :/, This game was very fun for me, I don't care what people rates but this game was fun for me and I loved the style and the idea. I hope you make a new game for ludum dare 30! I'm making a list of people who made me have a good time and are going to participate in ld30, you are one of them and I wanna rate your next game :), so let me know if you are gonna participate! The next time i'm gonna be in the jam! Really good luck!

But other then that. The game looked good!

I love Captain John's movement animation.
Great game!

But overall is a small and enjoyable game.
Perhaps it's best not to know.
Had a random bug where I glitched through walls though.
Solid throught and through.
