The final thing that frustrated me was the clunky UI. I think with some better lighting and some brighter colors, it could look a lot better. The characters don’t have enough differentiating attributes to make it easy to tell between your character and your friends’. While on its own the style is unique, it doesn’t translate to an enjoyable scene. As you can see from the images above and to the side, the game is going for a clay and building blocks look. The next thing I was not fond of is the art style. It would have been better to have given sampling of some of the match types and unlocked more after you pay. Nor was one hour enough time to figure out how to play the game to its full potential. Like I mentioned earlier, I thought the game had AI opponents to play against, but one hour was not enough time for me to figure out how to get them into a match. While this is okay for getting a first impression, it is not really enough time to review the full aspects of the game. You have only one hour of game time to play the game before it is locked out on you. The first thing is probably the most noticeable. There are some things that I found less than enjoyable about it. ![]() The only thing you can do at that point is try to snag your opponent along with you. It is even possible to get it to stick to your head and you can do nothing but run around with a bomb dragging your head along the ground behind you. These bombs stick to the first thing they land on, whether that is the ground, your opponent or even you. The sticky bombs are a real crowdpleaser. Once you do figure out what you are doing, it is a lot of hilarious fun. However, none of these modes are really explained all that well and it is up to the players to figure it out. There are also several game play modes, death match, capture the flag, king of the hill and even racing. You can also beat your opponent with your fists or knock them off the cliff. There are land mines, taser bombs and even sticky bombs. You have 5 minutes to blow up your opponents with a variety of bombs. It wasn’t until I actually handed a controller off to someone else that I really found out what made the game fun. Additionally, if you as the only player in the match decide to drop out, the game just sits there in the arena until someone new pops in. The game just dumps your single character into the arena by yourself. When I downloaded the game, I was under the impression that there was going to be an AI component that would allow me to play by myself. However, I was not going to just hand a controller off to one of my kids before trying it out. When I first downloaded it, I was looking for a few multiplayer games to try out. That may not be accurate but is the only way I was able to enjoy it. In some ways it is, but in many ways I have to disagree. ![]() BombSquad by Eric Froemling is one of those games that is touted by Ouya as one of its best apps.
