The game is about dropping bombs on stuff then jumping down into the smouldering craters to collect all the loot!
You use the mouse to select bombs and drop them wherever you like. Then when you select the call Paul button it will enter 2D platformer mode.
Loot is randomly generated as well, so should be diffeent each time! (apart from chests).
A - left D - right Space - jump E - interact with people (works with a 360 pad as well, but you will need your mouse for the bombs)
Had a great time entering LD48 this year! Lot's of fun :)
Something happened whilst exporting and in some cases it has vertical lines on the browser version... Not sure whats causing this but with under and hour to go not likely I'll find a fix :D
Hope you enjoy the game. There's probably quite a few spelling mistakes in there!
@Greatbigjerk, it does need tweaking! @AmilingCat glad you got that feeling, thats what I was hoping for :) @Clithoney re-uploading the files to google instead of my own site, hopefully will be faster! Will do the same for the web version when I can find a better place to host it.
Nope, that's intentional :) You have to figure out the route you want to take before you spawn Paul. However you can restart the level with the refresh button in the top left.
I like the idea of planning your route with the bombs before you get to run. The player movement felt a bit odd and it could have done with being able to jump a bit higher!

The idea is pretty cool, I dug it (get it?). I wish I had more of an idea what I was doing, though. Also, I find the WASD+Space controls hard to use, but that's just me. I did, however, play Baby Got Back while playing it, just to add a soundtrack!
Thanks for all the feedback, really useful! I'm panning on making these changes and updating the game. If your interested in playing it post updates please follow me on Twitter, I'll share everything there. Thanks again and keep it coming! (jump definitely needs some fixing!!)
Nice entry, I like the idea! Ability to just skip levels kinda ruins the fun, but I've tried to complete each level while collecting the most money I could and restarted a lot to ensure it, so it was lots of fun. I like multi-genred games, great work! I only wish platformer mechanics were more solid and that I could jump higher.
