Game Review: MaXploder

MaXploder is a fun little game from Tom "Ninjadoodle" Vencel, done in a retro stylee:


You are the bandanna'd hero out to rescue 33 archaeologists foolish enough to have become trapped during an expedition. You must arrow-key-hop around the tunnels making holes with your bombs (spacebar followed by run like the blazes!) so that you can squeeze through and get those scientists out. This game has a certain appeal to Ferrets!

The controls are very simple, you can jump as high as anything and you have unlimited life, so you can even commit suicide if this helps you - you will come to no harm.  This makes the game pretty easy, which may not appeal to some, but does lend a lot to a satisfying 10-minute coffee break!  The same can be said for the simple graphics and jolly retro music, all very appropriate for a browser game. And of course there is a walkthrough in case you get stuck like Mrs Ferrét!

There is added challenge in trying to improve your time and score if you want to try again.

Anyway, two big ferrety thumbs up for this one!

Play MaXploder
