Solidly made, but .. nothing really is compelling here.

The coins appear in random locations, which often dictates whether you win or lose. Sometimes you play excellently and lose, while other the game just tosses the coins in your path. It doesn't really feel like the levels are very different, or that there's anything clever to do along the way other than try to execute solidly on very basic play, so I didn't feel like there was any reward to trying to play better.

I'm certainly no game designer, but I think this one needs some retooling.

There is a similar looking game mode in some bomberman versions.
BTW, the description of the game sucks: "You've never played a game like this before!"

I realize that's the title the authors put on their webpage, and that's you nath who submitted the game news. Sorry, I see you do a lot of great work here and I guess you don't always have time for improving original short descriptions. I'll try the game and I'll try to come up with a new title.

Solid gameplay, tough levels (but they get easier with every try) and a fun multiplayer thing.

This game includes the readline library which is GPLv3 and can't be used on non-free software (though I'm not sure if the game actually depends on it or if it is put there by mistake) Also, it gets boring really quickly and should be priced at $3-5 and definitely not $20 .

Definitely try the demo before buying. I found it boring too.

I think it is ok, but perhaps playing with multiple people is much more interesting.
