- It's an okay turn-based Bomberman clone, but it doesn't do much to expand on the idea, and is even missing some mechanics that you'd expect from a clone (such as remote controlled bombs or pushable objects.)
- Bomblike is a puzzle-y blend of coffee-break roguelikes and bomberman-likes, played on small maps with simple mechanics. The game feels polished and no bugs were encountered during the gameplay. The games aesthetics are very effective, with distinguished use of colors and symbols, and simple controls; resulting in a game that's very easy to pick up, understand, and play. You can find several types of bombs, many of which are lateral upgrades rather than direct improvements. As the levels progress, you are introduced to new enemy types with new movement patterns and mechanics. There's even a hunger clock personified as the fun police. Bomblike is a high quality coffee-break roguelike, well done!

Love the art direction and how smooth and clean is it. The game idea is interesting and I like it (especially becz I am working on a bombing style borughlike game). My only problem is I feel the bomb is under utilized because the main goal is to find the exit not kill the monsters. I think the game work in the current format. But I am curious to see what will happen if the player have a detonate button (place and detonate) instead of just place.
Great job overall :)
