Bombuzal is a fun puzzle game by Image Works that plays like a cross between classic Boulderdash and Dynablaster. The goal is to destroy all the bombs on each level without hurting yourself. The game plays more complicated than it sounds, with many types of bombs, tiles (including the tricky “cracked” tiles that crumbles after you step on them the first time), and other obstacles to contend with. The game offers both a top-down 2D and isometric 3D view. The second looks nicer, but I prefer the 2D one as it just plays easier. But after all, it depends to what you got used to. Nice game overall– just “ugly” compared to the Amiga/Atari ST versions 🙂 Thumbs up!
