Super Bomb Bugs

The artifacts don't do anything. I was hoping they did. But then again, what could they do? Maybe some sort of dragging crystals to you? That would be great.

running through levels is fun.. collecting gems is not. Unfortunately the game is too easy and too make it harder you first need to collect gems. Almost good but a few wrong decisions mean the game is poor.

Alright, anyways, the ability to drop costumes would be nice for one primary reason; for some reason the dev decided to make a ninja bomb take, like, 10 seconds to detonate after getting stuck to an enemy, so you're often better off with regular bombs. See, enemies can sort of hurt us, and we're timed, so taking that long to die is really a problem. Seeing as regular bombs knock down flying enemies then land next to them, again you're often much better off without. Others like the bee costume and penguin costume confer some situational disadvantages, but far, far less than the ninja costume. Lastly, making people play through the game 2 times to unlock the highest difficulty is insane. Nobody (aside from me, because I have a lot of issues I won't go into ATM) will want to do that. Make it so you can access hard mode originally. Playing through twice to get all stars is still a bit of a stretch, but it's way, way more realistic than 3 times.

Alright, it's ok, but a few things; first off, I found that as the game went on it actually got significantly less enjoyable; the problem is that by the 3rd and 4th area, you're barely actually using bombs anymore. Imo that robs the game of a lot of its appeal. It just converts into an uneventful platformer when one of the more enjoyable elements originally, at least imo, was the strategy required to efficiently use bombs. Secondly, the way that costumes work is very, very annoying; not only should there be a button to pick up costumes, but there should be one to drop them as well. Having to dodge costumes lest they switch out and force me to just sit there waiting until it cools off and I can switch back get pretty frustrating pretty fast. Man these boxes are small, I need to use another one...

It would be nice if the floor challenges you to move faster. There nothing that really makes you NEED to move faster. You can pretty much take your time. Great game with great mechanics though.
