Kaboomania – A bomberman clone is coming to the Amiga and PC, Kickstarter soon! [DEMO UPDATE]

When I was growing up there was a game I used to love playing with friends whereby your task was to drop bombs, and hopefully blow up other players in a maze like game screen. That game was none other than Bomberman also known as Dynablaster. A game which was actually first released way back in 1983 by Hudson Soft and then published by Konami. In fact the reason we are mentioning the game is at some point soon ‘Axel Friedrich – Fancy Factory’ will be launching a Kickstarter for Kaboomania. A Bomberman clone that is coming to the Amiga and modern systems

Here’s the full details. “KABOOMANIA is a fast‑paced retro maze bomber packed with explosive action, colorful pixel art, and a fresh twist on a timeless gameplay formula. Designed for the Amiga 1200 / Amiga 4000 and PC. KABOOMANIA brings classic arcade chaos into a new era — complete with an exclusive, brand‑new soundtrack by legendary composer Chris Huelsbeck (Turrican, Giana Sisters, Apidya, Katakis). Experience a vibrant 128‑color-pixel-world, huge maps, clever enemies, and more than enough explosions to keep you on your toes. Whether you’re exploring the massive single‑player campaign or battling up to 4 friends on the couch, KABOOMANIA delivers pure retro energy with modern polish. “

The demo for KABOOMANIA has just been released! Bomb your way through the first 10 levels of the single-player campaign and try to beat my high score. Have fun – and happy bombing! Please tell me what you think about my little game! “
