UR TNT is a platformer in which you are a stick of TNT constantly on the verge of blowing up. The good thing is that every time you do the fuse just restarts again, but everything you destroyed stays that way.

Controls WASD or Arrow Keys (W or Up arrow for Jump, Space for early detonation

My friends and I's first Ludum Dare :)

Super Meat...TNT Boy!!!! The game is really fun and the concept is great. adding the coin for extra challenge is great! There is nothing else to add. Great concept, great game. Thank you

Nice work. Cute animation and quick snappy game play.

Really loved this one!! I have to say the only thing that hung me up was getting used to space not being a jump. But other than that, super solid, and really fun! I especially liked the last stage! :)

Omg sooooo cool idea!!! I really have fun to play this game! I would like to see such a game in the store! Good job)

The explosion animation looks pretty nice.

Nice animations and fun concept! Would be interested to see where this idea can go in terms of level design in the future

This is really cool! It is a just a simple platformer, but with two extra mechanics: you are on a time limit and you can permanently break blocks. I think it felt really good to play, there was even variable jump height! Really nice job! (Although I agree with @teenythanos that it took some getting used to jumping with w instead of space :P )

The only bit of feedback I have is that you did not use the exploding blocks mechanic in a very interesting way. I loved the coins as an extra challenge, but to me they felt a bit too easy for an optional pickup. Perhaps it would have been interesting if you could make getting a coin impossible for yourself by breaking a platform made of boxes or something. But I really like tough-as-nails platformers, so this is probably just my preference :P

The time limit thing was really nice as well! I think it was done in a good way, with a quick animation that shows you ran out of time, and then a quick reset so you can try again. Also here I would have loved a bit more challenge, but again, probably just me XD

I really enjoyed this! It felt great to play! Great job :D

I really appreciate the feedback @wuppos yeah I agree that I should've used the boxes a bit more interesting ways after your comment I was thinking of a new level that would have boxes effected by gravity. I'm super happy you enjoyed it thankyou so much for playing!

Great job! Would have liked a bit more difficulty, perhaps some limit on the explosions per level... not sure :D But other than that I really liked the overall execution of the game such as art, theme take, and music choice!
SquishyMew5 Oct 2021, 17:26
I like it! One cool addition would be a gate that only opens after the coin is collected to force the challenge too!

The animation in this game is so great!! Especially the effects animation on the explosions. I like the idea that you have to essentially restart the level to progress, really cool!

Thanks for the comment, my friend did the animations and I was super happy with how they turned out too im glad you had a good time! Thanks for playing and rating @slimmerburger

Congratulations finishing a game on your first ludum. I liked the idea of being a TNT stick seems crazy to me haha :laughing:
I have not found it challenging, it is a shame, the levels do not seem to have an adequate progression, but that is very difficult to polish in a gamejam. It's a good game, well done!
ADerpyChickenStudios
ADerpyChickenStudiosauthor5 Oct 2021, 23:18
Thankyou I appreciate the feedback, yeah I agree I wish I had more time to polish the level progression as well as to put more levels in but sadly I fell short on that. Thanks for playing I'm glad you enjoyed! @javicoder

Haha, like others, I kept blowing myself because I expected space to be jump.. but either way, this was a fun little idea, and the animations gave it life. Great work for your first jam!

ADerpyChickenStudiosauthor5 Oct 2021, 23:57
Thanks I appreciate the feedback yeah spacebar I think might've been a confusing choice, I went with it just cause it was such a big button lol and thought it would make the explosion significant. I think I should've used a different button. Thanks for playing I'm glad you enjoyed!
LDJam user 2457406 Oct 2021, 00:43
I also kept blowing myself up... But I loved the art. The actual explosion animation was cute, so I didn't mind triggering it constantly. :P

Thanks for the review yeah I probably should've changed the key binding lol live and learn I guess haha @kinart I hope you had fun with the game!

Awesome job! I'm not a huge fan of "press up to jump" in general but I did appreciate being able to detonate early. Great take on the theme and a cute character! Overall a solid build. I hope you keep making games in the future. :)
LDJam user 2647196 Oct 2021, 00:58
I like how fast the game plays but I have trouble with it. I feel like it's a bit too hard. Good luck wherever your future projects bring you.

@pixelydian Thanks for playing I'm glad you enjoyed it, I plan to keep making games for a long time and to keep getting better at it as I go along and people like you give me the motivation I need to do so! I think after Ludum Dare I am definitely going to change the early detonation to a new button and put jump to space due to feedback which is great that people like it enough to make suggestions :)

@gamermomentum Thanks for playing and trying it, im sorry you had some difficulty with the game if there is anything you suggest that may make it easier I am all ears I just want to make my games as fun as possible. Thanks -Sean
Jaknifed6 Oct 2021, 01:21
This is a really neat idea (kind of jealous I didn't think of it lol). I was pretty compelled to collect the extra coin just to figure out the puzzle and overall, can have a lot of potential if explored a little more. Other than that, I think the controls could be a little tighter and (not to dog on it or anything) visuals could use a little improvement. But I think it's a really neat game! Keep it up!
ADerpyChickenStudios
ADerpyChickenStudiosauthor6 Oct 2021, 01:25
Thanks for the feedback im happy you had fun and thought it was a cool game😁 I plan on taking some of your advice and expanding on the game a bit more soon and uploading a new version to itch once ludum dare is done. I think that you're right tighter controls would go a long way for it @jaknifed

Play as a exploding dynamite man, nice haha. A really fun idea and some what satisfying to play. Nice work

Nice game, the controls felt a bit clunky but otherwise well done

Thanks for the feedback what about the controls felt clunky just so I can improve them in the future I just want to make the game as good as possible thanks :) -Sean @momo-hunter
hiisileiri6 Oct 2021, 18:01
This is great concept! You should polish this, while this game does have much lag!

It's not easy and clear how much time you have in the game. You could also add the limitation of tnt for each level (as in resource - maybe gunpowder?) and add different types of bombs to have different type of movement and explosions (rocket, rolling bomb, nuke, etc.) This was fun to play, you could make this work on mobile devices as well. Walking dynamite is pretty unique idea. This is a very good and clever game idea. You should only create more challenging levels, while now this is too easy.

Thankyou for the very kind words @hiisileiri Yeah I really want to make this game bigger and better I love some of those ideas and definitely think I might implement those when I update the game, im glad you enjoyed the game overall and thankyou so much for playing -Sean

I really like the character animation and specially the explosion pretty cool. Good idea fits well with the theme! Well done!
NathanT7 Oct 2021, 06:07
Loved the art and the pacing. Nice implementation of the theme also. Good job!

The animation of the TNT is cute but the game lacks of visual cohesion.
The game is fun and the level design is quite good, well done!

Thanks for the feedback what kind of things do you think we could do to make it more visually cohesive thanks for playing I hope you enjoyed! :) @solah

I loved the game, really very funny, a pity that it is so short, I would have liked to play more. Excellent game, congratulations.
Steve74118 Oct 2021, 03:47
A good prototype. A few more sound effects would have been nice, but it was fun to play through

Cool little game! The animations, especially, were awesome!

@pancho Thanks I'm glad you liked it, yeah I wished I could have made it longer too I just ran out of time to build levels :)

A fun and well made little puzzle/platformer. Maybe the coins should have been keys, for a more difficult gameplay. But anyway a good jam game. Well done.
mrosegreen17 Oct 2021, 21:43
Had a blast (pun intended :wink: )! Well done on your game :slight_smile:
ValiantSugar20 Oct 2021, 11:49
Funny idea.
It lacks some other mechanics, if it had them, it would be a very cool mini game.
But even so, it's not bad!
LDJam user 24075220 Oct 2021, 17:38
It's a good game, glad to have spent time with it.
