The Explosive Excitement!

How's it going bros this is Master106 and today I'm reviewing Boomerman. Boomerman is a game made by Nextet, otherwise known as Sticki where you solve puzzles, move around boxes and avoid enemies and hazards. Boomerman is inspired by the Bomberman Series developed by Hudsonsoft and reflects that series in the game. Boomerman is a simple yet unique game in the design and game-play. It's a really enjoyable game and this is why.
The art style of the game looks very interesting and fits the game quite nicely. I know the TheUndead101 made all the graphics for this game and he did a pretty good job. Also the way everything were placed worked great as well, Nextet did a good job working with this game's look and feel. Any game that looks and works great is a plus for me!

The gameplay and puzzles are also great. You play as Boomerman, which is an um.. Electrode? Let's go with that. On a top down field and try to solve basic puzzles based on the information given in the game. Mainly having to push boxes around and shoot bombs to solve them. Almost every level introduces a new mechanic or hazard to avoid so, watch out. However, mostly when they are introduced, it kind of gets murky to understand. After a while though, you will pick up and understand them. The puzzles are pretty simple and will be fun for anyone who try's them out.

The game has a pretty basic concept that is kind of like Bomberman's concept, but adds its own style to differentiate from the rest. The game also focuses more on box pushing puzzles and avoiding certain hazards. The game does have a very creative concept. Though imperfect, the concept is at least fleshed out and fun to work around.

I guess it is time to close this review! My final thoughts:
