Bomb Chain is a very different type of puzzle game done entirely in flash. The objective of the game is to clear all of the bombs from the screen. The player accomplishes this task by lighting one bomb and that bomb will blow up and hopefully ignite other bombs on the board in a chain reaction until all of the bombs have been lit and explode. The bombs are different colors and the different colors signify the blast direction when the bomb explodes. The red bombs explode in a diagonal fashion and the green bombs explode in a horizontal and vertical fashion. Bomb Chain

The puzzle part of the game is figuring out where to place the “spare” bombs you receive at the beginning of each level. The pattern of bombs that each level contains varies and is never complete until you fill in the gaps with your bombs. In other words, you couldn’t just click on a bomb at the start of a level and have the chain reaction complete the level without you doing anything. If you could, that wouldn’t be much of a puzzle game. The player drags their bombs onto the board and puts them in the place that they think is most likely to explode all of the bombs on the board.

Two bombs can be combined into a super bomb. The super bomb’s explosions are two tiles bigger than normal bombs. The player creates a super bomb by dragging one of their bombs onto an already placed bomb on the board.

The levels start out fairly easy and don’t require much thought to figure out, but they get much harder as you progress. Some of the levels I had to try multiple times before I got the correct bomb placement. Bomb Chain definitely makes you think, but it is a lot of fun at the same time. If you are looking for a different, but fun, puzzle game, check out Bomb Chain.
