Robombs: A 3D Bomb Dodging Game
Robombs is a free Java-based multiplayer game that takes inspiration from the classic game Bomberman. Set in a 3D environment, the game offers both single-player and online multiplayer modes. With simple and easy-to-understand gameplay, Robombs allows players to navigate through a maze, planting bombs to clear boxes and collect bonuses while avoiding being blown up by their opponents.
In the multiplayer mode, you can connect with other players across the net, adding an extra layer of excitement and competition. The game features nine levels, each presenting its own unique challenges. The objective is to strategically plant bombs next to boxes, clearing them to reveal valuable items and power-ups. However, the bombs themselves take a bit too long to explode, reducing the overall challenge of the game.
While the controls are not adequately explained at the start, they can be found on the developer's website. Players can rotate their view using the mouse and move using WASD, cursor keys, or the numerical keypad. The mouse wheel allows for zooming in and out. Left-clicking activates a water pistol for defusing bombs, while right-clicking plants a bomb. The only downside is that the bombs provide ample time for players to escape, making the game less challenging than it could be. Additionally, since the game is written in Java, there is a slight delay during initialization.
Overall, if you enjoy Bomberman-style games, maze challenges, and lots of explosions, Robombs may provide some entertainment, albeit for a limited period of time.
