Fast, engaging and explosive 'Bomberman'
remake for every arcade games lover

Not really a new game but it offers so much fun and therefore I’ve decided to put in our freeware section and introduce it to a wider audience.

Anyway, Mini Blaster is the classic arcade game that continues the tradition of such legendary games as "Bomberman" and " DynaBlaster”. Bomberman is arcade-style maze-based game developed by Hudson Softand and released back in 1983.

The original Bomberman is a robot forced to work at a bomb factory. He is the best maker there and starts growing bored of making bombs in a factory day in and day out.

He hears a rumor that any Bomberman that makes it from the underground factory gets a wish. Bomberman, desperate to escape his job, sets out on a journey to the surface and to turn Bombermen into human bombermen, using his wish. The only thing standing in his way is the factory security guards who will do anything to keep the factory working.

Bomberman, is a robot that wants to be free from his job at an underground bomb factory. He must find his way through a maze while avoiding enemies. Doors leading to further maze rooms are found under rocks, which Bomberman must destroy with bombs.

There are items that can help improve Bomberman's bombs, such as the Fire ability, which improves the blast range of his bombs. Bomberman will turn human when he escapes and reaches the surface.

With a Mini Blaster port everything is pretty much the same, you are little bomber trapped in mysterious castle and you have plenty of bombs to throw around to kill the enemies and get to the final destination. Oh yes, The game is playable in single player mode and in multiplayer mode for two players over bluetooth.

Tips

If the game runs too slowly, try disabling the music or maybe sound altogethger. This can be needed especially in client mode on older phones.

The package for Series 60 3rd edition is self-signed. Many such devices are originally set not to allow installation of such packages. If unsure, open the application manager on the phone, select settings in the menu, set software installation to "all" and online certificate check to off.
