« An not bad variation of the classic bomberman but with its own innovations, but again for some reason there are no achievements, don't the developers know that it is much more interesting to play this kind of games with them? »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played« So, I played and I liked it, but if it were better, then that would be good, but it’s just nice when your hair is in the wind, and you’re across a tree, that’s it :) »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played« This game is like a combination of Pacman and Bomberman, it is easy to learn, the gameplay is relaxed and allows you to kill hours with pleasure. »👍 anonymous review · 8 h played« Blast Radius is an explosive puzzle game where players launch bombs to clear levels. Strategically aim and time explosions to destroy targets, solve puzzles, and progress through challenging stages. Fun and addictive! »👍 anonymous review · 26 h played« I'm really digging this game! The visual style is straight fire, the levels are interesting, and the balance is on point. Each stage brings something new, and it's hard to stop playing. »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played
« Frustratingly repetitive gameplay with unfair enemy AI. The maze mechanics feel clunky, and power-ups are poorly balanced. Gets tedious fast, wouldn't recommend. »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« The game didn't meet my expectations due to its awkward controls, and the graphics leave much to be desired. It's not worth my time. I wish I had never encountered it. »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played« The game is complete crap, heavy and awkward controls, graphics leave much to be desired... don't waste your time on this... I want to buy eyes that haven't seen this »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« In Blast Radius, our task is to collect fruits and get to the exit without getting caught. Each level has traps and gets more complicated, which makes the more game interesting. »👍 anonymous review · 13 h played« A great adventure game with beautiful pixel graphics, a dynamic immersion in the game's atmosphere, and a great product for my eyes. »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played
