Youâre surrounded by walls and loaded with bombs. In the distance an explosion erupts, sending bricks flying in every direction. Another explosion, this time closer. And another still, even closer than that. Itâs not just Bombermanâitâs first-person Bomberman, and itâs glorious.
Itâs also, unfortunately, not a real game, but rather a concept created by YouTube video effects specialists Pipoca. The experience communicated in the concept video is wonderfully tense. The explosions lick at your heels as you jump out of the way, bits of bricks flying in all directions. Your opponent remains hidden until youâre too close for comfort, otherwise only vaguely indicated by intermittant eruptions.
I would play this until my fingers fell off. Then Iâd use my teeth. After that, Iâd use yours.
