    neoyaku2's Bombastic (PS2)

    [April 18, 2007 11:21:47 PM]
    Talk about an intimidating game...
    I played this game once about two weeks ago, and have yet to pick it up again.

    Bombastic is a DICE based, puzzle game-- an explosive dice-based puzzle game. This is a very hard game to explain, so I would recommend Google-ing Bombastic and viewing some videos. You're a character that walks around levels on top of a die, each side of the die is color-coded and numbered one through six. These dice possess volatile properties-- which ignite after making contact with the quantity of dice equal to the number of the value face-up on said die.

    The reason that Bombastic is so difficult to describe is that dice, fundamentally,are complex objects and Bombastic requires that you are aware of every aspect of the dice. You need to be aware of the following while playing Bombastic;

    Dice have six sides, one side faces up, opposing sides' values add up to seven, and if you want to move in a straight line-- retaining the value of the die at your original position-- you have to make a C-shape motion to move one space forward. This becomes increasingly complex, as the levels themselves are limited to a certain grid based layout. You also need to be aware of the value of the dice surrounding any particular dice, to create ignitions-- clearing the level.

    I have only played the Tutorial level through, and I can't fathom the difficulty spike that is about to occur in the next few levels.

    I guess I'll pick Bombastic up, after finals, preferably on a nice sunny day, where I have nothing to do... There is no way to play this game under any kind of stress.
