Hey, this is pretty fun!

Lots of fun

best gaem

is there a reason the hitbox on the explosions is so insanely large (vastly larger than the actual graphic for it)?

I'm genuinely curious as to what your motivation is here. Sounds fascinating. What an interesting thing to do.

It ruins this game completely and instantly.

But I imagine you have some deep reason for it that could be talked about in the theoretical context of the philosophy of game design.

Please enlighten me

Thanks for the feedback!
I tried to make the explosion graphic a little bigger than the hitbox, but it appears it's not big enough.
I can certainly enlarge the graphic so it is more accurate.

EDIT: I tweaked the explosion graphic a bit, so it should be more accurate. Let me know if it solved your problem!

very fun
