Run away from the collapsing rocks behind you, and run toward the light! Avoid rocks and use TNT to blast through in an emergency!

Use left/right to move and up to throw TNT when available.

Made with GameMaker:Studio, sfxr, Reason and love.

This is my first LD48 entry. I'm @benthornburg of @okeedokestudios. Enjoy!

nice music, pretty fun smoke was a bit annoying , i like the music you should work a bit on graphics though

Could you publish a Linux version? I think Game Maker should be capable of doing that.

I failed to reach the surface!
But Good game!

Liked it. Wasn't sure if there was a victory condition at first but then I noticed the light getting brighter.

My score:
Time 130
Rocks 19
Tnt 3

25 sec, 1 rock, 2 tnt. Great game, may be the level is a bit too small too apreciate it.

Quite small. I get you are a beginning developer, so I hope you keep learning to develop games.

@UnixXNova: Yeah, I need to brush up on my pixel art before the next jam. Usually, I beg someone else to do my art. :)

@YSelf Tool: I wish I had the funds to purchase the Linux (and HTML5) export modules, but Windows + Mac are my only options right now. I could put out a Mac port if that would help.

Thanks for playing, everyone!

The audio was great and the concept ok, But the graphics annoyed me somehow

Took a while to work out that TNT didn't knock you down with it's explosion down to an unlucky timing first time I threw it. Gets kinda random near the victory condition. Kinda fun though.

That music, so majestic. Really nice little game.

Just upgraded my GM with HTML5 export, so there's a web version now! :)
