Hide and go boom
"Bomberman" without "Bomberman" in the title, and in first person. Just like the good old days, this is a fast paced, easy to learn, short game time, addicting gameplay with many fun hours to be had. Best played with friends

10 itemsAbout the Game
Back in 1983 Hudson Soft and Konami released Bomberman (in Europe known as Dynablaster).
Hide and go boom is a modern take on that classic game. With more than one twist.
Play with your friends either on split screen or over the internet.
Run around in a maze, drop bombs to destroy the boxes and collect the powerups.
Avoid being killed by your enemies or your own stupidity. Playing in insanity mode, the latter is harder than the former.
Playing much like the original, Hide and go Boom adds its own twists to the game.
Instead of the birds eye view, you now enjoy a first person view of the action.
