Game review

As you might have guessed from the name, this game is loosely based on the classic oldies that any die-hard gaming fan loves tenderly and unconditionally — Boulder Dash, Digger and Bomberman. But this reincarnation of the holy trinity is not a dumb coping of the old arcade classics — the authors created a new kind of remake — the one with huge explosions, shrewd robotic monsters and groovy bonuses.

You start out with a digging machine and burrow your way to the diamonds. Having collected every piece, don’t forget to destroy all the metal fiends you meet on your way to proceed to the next level.

You are going to need a whole arsenal in order to destroy monster robots and trucks. First, there are rockets. You shoot them in the direction your digging machine is facing. Then there are mines. These should be carefully planted to trick your opponent into running over them. It’s an easy task with some enemies, while not so simple with the others. Be careful not to blow yourself up. Also, there are bombs and dynamite sticks at you disposal. Those are pretty much the same and are sure to suite any explosions maniac. Dynamite is a great means of saving some time for digging and just blowing everything to pieces. It is not recommended for people with anger management problems. That’s pretty much it.

Oh yeah, did I mention hours and hours of endless thrills and addicting gameplay? This comes with the package, too.
