I am the only person on Earth who owns Bombastic. I am also the only person who has heard of it. Google turns up zero search results if you search for "Bombastic ps2 game." Go ahead and try.* It is lacking love, and the Aqui are sad and depressed.

So sad and depressed, in fact, that they have started to walk around on dice and make them explode. That is right; they make dice explode. They roll dice around all over it's various sides, trying to line up the top face number with other dice with the same top face number, with the total number of dice lined up together equaling that of the top face number. By this, I mean they line up six dice with the 6 face up, or four dice with the 4 face up, or two dice with the 2 face up. Then, after a short time limit that varies depending on the top face number, they all explode. That's right; they explode. And their explosions set off other dice with the same top face number, or dice with the top face number one less than the ones that cause the explosion. That is how dice with the 1 face up must explode; they must hit by explosions from 2 dice. If you roll around a die that has been set off and will soon explode and are able to roll it next to die with the same top face number as whatever the die you are currently on happens to be at the time, that one die will set off as well, allowing you to achieve massive chains from you rolling and from the explosions.

All they wanted to do was meet their Grandfather in the Land of the Clouds, blowing up any monsters that tend to stand in their way. In fact, blowing up every monster so as to get a perfect clear in the level. But of course, it is not easy, for they live in a puzzle game, which forces you figure out how to place the dice and set them off in such a away that all of the monster will get blown into smithereens, and out of the way of the Aqui. They even fight big, cute boss monsters that require difference strategies from normal to defeat.

They also wanted to play 5-players with a multi-tap where they all run around in a small field of dice and try to blow each other to smithereens. It is very hectic causing me to always lose, but it is still fun and would be even more fun if I had people to play it with. But alas, no one has heard of it.

Why does no one love Bombastic or it's precursor, Devil Dice?


*Don't. I was lying.
