A new action puzzle game from NinjaKiwi, Boombot is beautifully simple and well executed. The Boombot game is about a cute little robot in need of your help to pass through all the portals of his world.  Your job, as some sort of evil omniscient explosives technician, is to maneuver an itty-bitty robot called Boombot to the exit of each level. Aside from the black bombs under your control, you’ll have to manipulate TNT, oil drums, and explosive Senso-Gel to clear all fifty levels.

Click the mouse on where you want to set up your bomb, press until the desired consistency is achieved, and release to make it go boom! Of course, there are also walls, boxes and bricks you have to get rid off before moving the robot, and each level’s puzzle will only get harder as the levels go by. In fact, strategy and timing are the skills used primarily on this game since you’re also given only a limited number of bombs for use in each area.

Throughout all the levels, you’ll be presented with various exploding paraphernalia for you to use. TNT’s, exploding gels and oil barrels run aplenty in the game, and it’s up to your judgment on whether to use these items or not. Just like many puzzle games, exploding items are there to either make or break your progress, and that’s why you have to think first before you act. It’s very much addictive too
