Really cool game. The gameplay is interesting, the bombs are plenty and the monsters and bosses are creative. It isn't too hard unless you play in hard mode specific. The elemental bombs and their reactions between eachother are really well done. I recommend this game for whoever is interested.

This has a lot of interesting ideas that I think could just use a bit of tweaking to balance. Had a fun time with it and it's free so I recommend testing it out.

Not bad but not amazing. It's got the bones to be something pretty good, but it needs some more development before it becomes a great metroidvania. For the price though, this is a pretty okay game.

Honestly... This is a neat little game that, with time and more development, could very well easily be a great game in it's own right. But of course, as of now, this game is definitely pretty easy, mechanically un-complex, and quite short. At least it was a fun experience, and one day, I hope this becomes a much bigger and more mechanical game in it own way.

"Device of Bakudan" is a 2D pixelcrap student project from U-TAD. One of the first things students should be taught in game development is that 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid 1990's with dedicated 3D cards like the Voodoo3 and the ATI Rage. But the students were deliberately mistaught that's it's okay to release obsolete 2D games in the 3D era of gaming... certainly any professional developer seeing a prospective new hire who doesn't even know about 3D gaming probably isn't going to give them a job. Needless to say if an educational institution taught me incorrectly on purpose, I'd ask for my money back. So this is a pixelcrap 2D retro pixel platformer pixel mess where you control a little pixel blob and do some platforming. You can destroy the terrain with bombs, which would be remarkable if we weren't doing that in full 3D graphics in Red Faction two decades ago. There's just no excuse for this deplorably bad quality... and this is supposed to be an educational exercise. What kind of educational institution is expecting their students will get jobs when all they can do is garbage 2D pixelcrap in the era of 3D gaming? Even consoles can do 3D graphics now! The st…
