Bomb-a-Bomb

By Joshua Cage

Were you the kid that put fireworks in your neighbor's mailboxes? If the answers yes, then bomb-a-bomb's the game for you! The premise of the game is very straightforward; blow everything to an oblivion. But as you progress though the games 40 stages things really get more complex and interesting. Each stage will have you essentially doing the same thing, but the way you go about doing it is what makes this title fun.You start off just lighting grey bombs ablaze with your candle shaped cursor, attempting to string together the exploding bombs in what becomes an all out fireworks show. But as more bomb types are introduced the puzzle element of the game really comes into play, as some bombs aren't meant to be blown up, while others could cause instant failure. The fun doesn't stop there, as not only are different bombs added to the equation, but also different explosive devices like timed bombs and instant bombs are added to the mix. These things change the way you play and always keep you on your toes, making what could've been a boring fireworks simulator a true puzzler.

While playing Bomb-a-bomb, I couldn't help but notice it's cute presentation, that may or may not have been loosely inspired by games like bomberman. I don't say that as a bad thing, I actually quite liked it myself but I think this is the part of the game that might not cater to everyone's liking. If your mature enough for it, this title is definitely worth a try.

Overall
Fun game, lots of levels, and never gets redundant. Sometimes a victory requires more luck then skill, art style may turn some gamers off, and some of the beginning level instructions could use a spell-check. All in all, it's a great flash game that's loads of fun.
