Item Description

A puzzle game where the goal is to blow everything up sounds like pure chaos, but Ka-blooey is really about restraint. Kemco's Super Nintendo version of the late-eighties computer puzzler Bombuzal turns demolition into a careful exercise in planning, where the right first spark matters far more than speed.

Each level is a board scattered with bombs of different sizes, and the job is to destroy every one of them. The catch is that only the smallest bombs can be lit without taking you with them. Everything bigger has to be set off by chain reaction, so every stage becomes a question of order and position: which fuse to light first, how the blasts will travel across the board, and where you will be standing when they do.

You can play from a straight overhead view or switch to an isometric one, which gives the boards a tidy, tabletop look and helps when you are mapping out a long chain of explosions. Solutions tend to arrive in a single satisfying flash of insight, when one carefully placed spark sets the whole board going in sequence and you get to sit back and watch it work.

It is a fun outlier in the early Super Nintendo library, a cerebral puzzle game that arrived among the console's first wave of platformers and shooters, and a good pick for players who enjoy a brain teaser with a big payoff. The name tells you exactly what happens when you get it right.

About the game

You play using either an overhead or isometric view. To complete each level the avatar has to destroy all bombs on a level. Bombs come in different sizes and it is only possible to ignite the smallest kind without dying. The bombs have to be set off using a chain reaction to prevent the avatar being killed in the explosion.
