Music is vital. There needs to be something to listen to while playing. It isn't that hard to grab something off the audio portal.
Lives. Miss one time and you lose. Maybe make a third of the buildings collapse each time a bomb hits?
Levels. The game should increase in difficulty at certain points.
Mouse aiming. Its extremely awkward and if you used this to make the game harder, all it does is create fake difficulty as opposed to real difficulty. If you think this will make the game too easy, consider adding in the above suggestion.
Different types of bombs. Bombs that explode into smaller bombs, slow but powerful bombs, small but weaker than usual bombs. Variation in enemies helps keep the user interested.
Bigger game area. If you add different bombs, such as fast ones or ones that explode into smaller ones, then it will be much harder to counter them in the current playing field.
Obviously I'm not saying to add these suggestions, but they are, however, something to work towards. I don't know the capabilites of flixel, but consider adding the above suggestions if possible. :)
Thx for the great constructive review. I just started working on a "Bomb Rush 2" since i have read your review, mainly because i think this try was like a pseudo game and not a real game ;D
Good idea, just really frustrating, especially on the maze part, as you're notsafe anywhere because the player is constantly spinning. Make him stop spinning, and the score will go up.
Seriously, If you play this game and think 'Oh, it just repeats if you lose' Refresh the page and keep trying until you reach the end. It's worth it for the ending, then you get the whole point of the game. :p.
Here's a clue: The game's title isn't for political reasons.
The only problem is that you should be able to do propellers. I made 4 on one thing, with all objects set to low density, and it still couldn't take off, even when I added a piston, used it, used the propellers, it just fell back down again.
It's short, though, and even if two players played it, I can't see how it would make a lot of sense. I think I got the meaning, but could you just sort of say the moral, just to check I have it right?
Graphics - 9/10. Good style.
Sound - 6/10. Fits the style
Gameplay - 7/10. Controls were a bit to sensitive.
Two players - +1.
Going over %100 isn't a glitch, all the upgrades are %100, and all the achievements are 1% each.
On the actual review, this game Rocks! I loved it, just as I loved achievement unlocked. That game rocked too. You have done achievement unlocked, and somehow managed to make it even better! 10/10, and 5/5.
Actually the achievements don't count towards it, I put in the 110% for fun :p
It originall was 100 percent, then I added in an extra upgrade or two which made it 110, and I thought, why not.
Great animation, and I liked the humor, but I'm not a big fan of Toilet/Sickness humor. Don't take it out though, everyone else seems to like it. Very funny. :D

Could use some changes.

Good.
I feel that levels were a bit too long, and Phoenix Wright should have been in there. Along with Godot.
7/10 and 4/5.

Personally,
I think that the simple ones are better, like this one, but the new ones are still great! Keep creating! :D.

"What's Contra"
I feel sort of sad that people don't know what contra is.
To get the code, enter abba on the keyboard while playing.
Great idea, i love these types of games!

Gave up on the maze game.

You can hold space to stop him spinning..

Really good, just one problem.
I love sandbox games, and so, I loved this.

Nearly perfect.
