Rarrr!

I'm not qualified to enter the Jam this year, but had a great deal of fun participating with a cool theme and venue. This is the chicken scratch that came out of it: some experimental take on a Peggle-sorta formula fused with crafting/trading and demolition and and aaaaaand-

The basic idea:
- You have two types of bombs (shown at top). Select one, then tap/press on the playfield to aim, and let fly!
- As you smash things apart, they'll drop cool things. COLLECT these things (aha!) by aiming the path of subsequent bombs to pick them up
- Your bomb quantity is limited and you'll need to blast open SHOP tiles to get access to deals and trade opportunities
- The general idea is to get as deep as possible before running outta bombs, but the game currently doesn't track this. Destroy all upper tiles to scroll the screen down

To me, this is one of the best concepts that I've seen for this jam. The actually game, considering it doesn't track stuff and as far as I can tell has no progression, is pretty fun. I really like how the shop moves, and the collection of resources.
Not sure what else to say besides - if you made this into a finished mobile game I'd totally play it.

Has the making of a highly addictive mobile game!
Very well done, I think it might be worth polishing up and releasing.
