No, I couldn't think of a better name :)

A small Gameboy game, made in 1 week for GBJAM 8. Clear blocks before they reach the top of the screen, and don't get crushed! Falling blocks can be destroyed with rockets, landed blocks can only be destroyed with dynamite. Clear all blocks for extra points and to advance to the next level.

Created with GBDK2020. Embed powered by binjgb.

For the best experience, the ROM file can also be downloaded below for playing on your own emulator (or Gameboy!). This will also keep your highscores persistent!

Have fun!

This is so fun!! Love how you can shoot down to propel yourself into the air haha :D

Thank you for playing :)

Love this game and playing on the Gameboy! How many actual levels are there???

Thanks for playing! 

There are 7 different levels, but afterwards they loop again from the beginning. So technically there is no end. But if I remember correctly it also gets a little bit faster with every level, so at some point it is probably impossible ;)
