One of the coolest and most original Japanese shoot 'em ups ever - featuring no shooting!
I remember playing this game years ago (just over two years ago, to be slightly more precise) and for some reason, nothing happened. I played it, loved it and... nothing happened. It disappeared and I never did write a review on it. Shame on me, for this is one of the best Japanese shoot 'em ups ever.
Completely removing the idea of shooting, this game centers on exploding. You are a series of bombs, your enemies float around you in patters, you explode and hopefully cause glorious chain reactions. If you blow up near an enemy, it explodes - blowing up any enemies near it... etc. etc. allowing you incredible chain reactions.
Among picking up the bonuses (which aid in the accumulation of more lives/"bombs") you will be awarded a new bomb for each chain higher than the last and also at certain score points. With this, hopefully you can survive into the boss battle at the end of the round.
Clocking in at a maximum time limit of 2mins 30sec, the game won't draw you in with its impressive storyline. It will surprise you with the originality of its gameplay and its ability to remain fun while on the quest for bigger chains and higher scores.
