The usual stealth puzzle. Boring.

At first the game might be a bit slow, but after really getting into it the pace
really picks up. The dark underground mines, mixed with marines and deadly
beasts make you carefully plan out your moves and the achievements add another
level of planning and replayability.

Fun game. Easy to grab a controller and play a map for a quick 5 minutes. It
isn't a top-of-the-line 3d game but still enjoyable.

Dynamite Jack is a little top-down action stealth title where you have to avoid
guards while placing bombs and collecting items like keycards. However, by
adding new enemies and new things like barriers and lasers it gets increasingly
more difficult. The graphics are simple, and even though it's a bit of a
stealthy game, there is more than enough color to be found in the maps. The
sound effects are basic but get the job done. It's an enjoyable game, especially
for a price this low, but I don't think it's fun enough for long sessions.
Still, like I said, enjoyable.

A good game, kinda reminiscent of the old Bomberman on Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
Place bombs, collect codes to doors, hide in shadows and/or start ultra mayhem
blast chaos!
I didn´t expect much and the game surprised me. Game mechanics are fine.
Sometimes there are even puzzles with more than one solution, because you can
bomb your own way forward (i mean, literally - you make path in terrain with
your bombs). Even though I suffered frustration, I blame my fat clumsy fingers
more than the game itself.
Not a long game, though, 8 maps pieces, 28 levels. You can finish it in about 5
hrs.
+ Community maps. Over 100 of them.
If you are into Achievements, you can make most of them easily - 12/13, 92%.
However... if you want to collect all 100 percent, there are people who say it
took about 3 more hours, but I still believe you have to be buddhist monk with
russian acrobat skills and timing of a p0*nstar. The horror part is you see you
can do it, but then you make a tiny, tiny mistake...

A neat, short indie game. Great for a lazy sunday in the couch.

I just spend 12 hours completing Dynamite Jack. Have I longed for a game like
this in years! The nostalgic going-back-in-time feeling of Commodore64, wow that
is not something I come across often.
I bought this game because I received a 75% off ticket to this game I had never
even heard of - but it's worth the full price. Absolutely!
God dammit, if you are from an age where you used a joystick, you WILL miss out
if you don't give this game and yourself a chance to do what I just did.

Dynamite Jack is a stealth game. You have the ability to start with or pickup
bombs and a flashlight in order to achieve your goal of reaching the end of the
level. In order to reach the end of the level you will need to evade or kill the
soldiers protecting the mines you are walking through, collect key cards and/or
destroy colored electrical fields. The graphics are simple, but work very well
for this type of game and definitely let you know if you will be seen or not.
The ability to control your character through the levels is very intuitive and
fluid. The difficulty level ramps up as you progress through the mines and
special ways of beating each level are offered such as no flashlight, no deaths,
or no kills. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, beat the game and then came back to
unlock all achievements. A very approachable and fun stealth game that you
shouldn't miss.

Mix of a bomberman and stealth game. Not so long but pretty fun for a while.
Recommended (especially when it's on sale).

Just another stealth game on Steam? Kinda.
Overall its pretty okey game, requires few hours from player, some of
achievemnts and levels in the end is a little bit challenging. If it happens,
that you have this game on library and you are ok with avarage stealth game, I
guess its worth playing through.

Not really any original concepts, but Dynamite Jack does present an odd mix of
stealth gameplay with bombs. The ultimate goal is to escape each level with a
greater goal of escaping the prison. The game is missing any real challenge
since the AI is very predictable and incredibly dumb. Only in the last couple
maps is there a glimpse of the potential for a challenge, but then the game ends
leaving a feeling of "that's it?"
The saving grace is the map editor which allows anyone to design and play user
created maps. The community has put out some intelligent and well thought out
maps, although there is still no improvement to the AI issues. Dynamite Jack is
fun in short bursts of about 15-20 minutes as it gets stale pretty quickly. It's
dollar menu material.

A Bomberman recreation with darkness mode on. Not a very long game but
challenging and even the maps are designed to allow you to replay them since
it's hard to remember them. The in-game builder is useful for creating own maps.
Although it's not a thriller, I love how the soundtracks darkens the mood. I
recommend it especially for this price.

A good time waster if nothing else, but I really don't think it's worth the
money. There are a lot of better games for free on Newgrounds and other sites,
so I don't think this is worth it.

Dynamite Jack feels like a finnish homebrew from the nineties. I wager that this
was a game that was made technology first, design later. The story is slapped
on, the art direction is nonexistent, the levels are simple and uninteresting
and the game introduces pretty much all of its few features in the first couple
of levels. I see no reason to recommend nor play Dynamite Jack.

Fun game from a free-software supporter. Each level is a puzzle to figure out
with a combination of stealth and exploration. I like how the predictable
enemies can be seen through a minimap or on-screen. Lots of bonus objectives for
each level, which will get you completing them again and again.
I was not a fan of the sound effects, but this is the type of game that you
listen to a podcast while exploring the level. I enjoyed this game on an ubuntu
linux desktop with radeon mesa graphic driver. The game uses a specially
designed game engine, and it takes up a mere 50 MBs of diskspace. I recommend
this game for anyone looking for a casual puzzle experience with stealth
elements.

Fun puzzle game that encourages the player to come back and retry levels over
and over until all the challenges are met. A must have game for all platforms!

Stealth and remotely-detonated bombs somehow combined, challenge and high
replayability... And a level editor and user-generated levels on top of that!
It's a great game to kill some time, and provides a lot of bang for your buck
considering it's a $5 game. Definitely worth checking out the demo if any of
that sounds at all enjoyable to you. This game surprised me.
