================== Dungeons and Bombs ==================
You're in a dungeon deep under the earth ... The only hope is a portal leading out of here. Explore and find a way to it! Use your bombs and collect some treasures.
Movement: cursor keys - left, right, up, down or w-a-s-d keys
Place a bomb: space key
Turn sound off: o key Turn movement sound off: i key
Display help information: h key
Exit game: escape key
I used C++ and Allegro 5 (v5.1.7).

I'm sorry but this game doesn't work on my computer.
I heavily question the legality of including the Arial.ttf font file.
As for gameplay, nice and simplistic. I found the sprite for 'treasure' to be a bit misleading, as it looks like fire.
Overall good effort, not bad considering the time restraints!
Perhaps a few things to add in the future if you're doing a Post-compo version is enemies, alternate scoring methods (killing enemies, finding the portal quickly), powerups (portal locator, larger view-area, bigger bombs, bomb-deflecting shield etc) and that kind of stuff?
I escaped the dungeon! But it just portaled me to another one. Damn portal... Did that a few more times, but I quit after a while. The controls are tiring to the hands. The bomb's fuse is so short and the game doesn't seem to have a timer for how often you can make moves, so it basically comes down to pressing buttons as fast as possible, which is tiring. The game is like an adventurous bomberman, which is pretty cool. Needs a bit more variety though, some level design could help instead of what appears to be randomly generated levels.

I uploaded a new version, I missed some needed dll's.
When you like, please try again. Thanks.

I have changed the font.
I had some of your suggestions on my plan, but the ld48-time runs out.
That's also the reason for the missing enemies.
Maybe I will make a post-combo version with some of the stuff you all mentioned.
Nevertheless it looks nice, and it's great that I don't have time to rest after setting a bomb (:
Indeed good base for a dungeon crawler with enemies and stuff.
