    Ponpu is a fun reimagining of the classic Bomberman formula with just the right amount of weirdness added to make it feel like its own game. Mildly grotesque bosses each requiring their own unique approach just add to the appeal. Bombs on!

    Ponpu is weird, wacky and regularly wonderful. It’s a slick take on Bomberman that understands what made the original games so great and evolves it for the modern day. It’s a shame that the multiplayer modes are undermined by ineffective identifying marks that make it difficult to see who’s who. Thankfully a decent sized and suitably challenging single player campaign makes up for that.

    The five-to-six-hours-long single-player mode is certainly challenging, with some very well-designed boss fights, but the main maze-like levels feel basic and dreary. It’s a slog. Ponpu’s clearly best suited to local party play, but… well, it would be a pretty strange party if you got this one out. [Issue#184, p.89]
