‘Bomberman’ is the Latest Game to Get the ‘Crossy Road’ Treatment in Upcoming ‘Blast Blitz’

TouchArcade Rating:

Taking a classic game concept, giving it voxel graphics, and making it randomly generated and endless is exactly what Crossy Road (Free) did with the Frogger formula. And then Down The Mountain (Free) did it with the Q-Bert formula. And then Pac-Man 256 (Free) did it to Pac-Man. And then Shooty Skies (Free) did it to Space Invaders. And then Astro Attack (Free) also did it to Space Invaders. And then Ding Dong Delivery is hoping to do it to Paperboy. And Dude Ball is hoping to do it with pinball. And then and then… Phew! I’m sure I missed some there but anyway you get the point. Crossy Road-ifying things is all the rage, and developer Poly Pandas wants to give that same treatment to Bomberman with their upcoming game Blast Blitz.

As you can see, all the elements are here. Voxel graphics. Isometric viewpoint. Unlockable characters. And endless, see-how-far-you-can-get gameplay. There also seems to be some pretty neat power-ups and an assortment of cool enemies. Of course, Bomberman is a fine single-player game but is most beloved for its multiplayer modes. There aren’t a ton of details regarding Blast Blitz but if they could somehow find a way to let me blast my friends while storming ahead of them and taking the lead that would be quite awesome. At any rate, this looks like another winning Crossy Road-ification, so look for Blast Blitz to hit iOS sometime later this month.
