Gunpowder

This is a great game. I'm not too wild about the aspect of beating a specific time goal (in this or other games), but fortunately as the levels progressed it seemed to become less of a chore. You don't actually have to beat the time goal to progress, but for some reason I felt compelled to do it. :-) The game does a good job of introducing new gameplay mechanics as you progress in the game to provide some variety, which I appreciated. I almost made it through all the levels, but I finally got stuck on level Lost-16 (from the Bonus Levels 1, Lost Levels set). I guess I probably must be missing the solution, but is it really possible to complete this level with only two barrels and no gunpowder?

The attention to detail in Gunpowder is exceptional! There's something very satisfying about figuring out a puzzle and watching the destruction unfold, with loot flying upwards and anything within range being blasted to smithereens. It's always different and I have yet to see the same explosion twice! The sound is always appropriate to the action (for instance a windmill becomes collateral damage and you hear the wood frame coming down). Very well done. Puzzles are varied and it keeps things interesting. Gunpowder has the best of both worlds - a stunning game that's a real joy to play. Not to be missed!

In most games, I usually play to get past a level and don't really care if I get all the achievements (3 stars, all bonuses, etc.). In Gunpowder, I am determined to blow up every piggy bank. It's because it's both strategy and puzzle instead of just beating a clock (though there's a time target too). You'll want to figure out how to blow everything up. You don't have to, but you'll want to. Plus, the graphics are nice, audio is cool and the explosions are fun. Good Job! 👍

If you enjoy puzzle games, Gunpowder is a must play. Fiendishly clever puzzles coupled with a delightful presentation makes this one easy to recommend to anybody, not just puzzle aficionados. Tons of levels, yet there's variety and the developers have done a tremendous job of balancing out the gameplay so the difficulty curve sits just right. This game keeps me coming back for more and makes me smile every time. To the developers - amazing job.

The screen in landscape mode now forces you to play with the headphone jack on your right (all other games default to it being on the left, and they give you a choice if you rotate your iPad/iPod)...thanks for the surprisingly-awesome update, but can you please fix it so we can rotate the screen so the games picture shows how we want it to?
