Actual Entry (non editable)
Bombuzal (c) 1990 Kemco Bombuzal is an action-puzzle game developed by Mirrorsoft, where you control a quirky blue, potato-shaped hero on a mission to detonate every bomb scattered across each level before time runs out. Every stage is built from a grid of tiles, many of which feature unique properties. Some crumble after being stepped on, others are covered in slippery ice, while some act as teleporters or introduce other hazards that make navigation increasingly challenging. Simply setting off every bomb isn't enough—you'll need to plan your moves carefully. Many puzzles require triggering spectacular chain reactions, strategically detonating bombs in the correct order to clear the entire level. At the same time, you must avoid getting caught in explosions, trapping yourself, or falling from the edge of the map, as any of these mistakes results in instant failure. The game features a variety of bomb types. Standard bombs destroy nearby explosives, while special bombs can ignite every bomb of the same size across the level. Certain striped tiles even allow bombs to be pushed into new positions, opening up additional puzzle possibilities. Later stages introduce remote-controlled robots, enabling you to trigger explosions from a safe distance. Bombuzal is primarily presented from a classic isometric perspective, with an optional overhead view available for players who prefer a clearer layout. Featuring more than 100 levels and a password system to save your progress, the game offers a lengthy and increasingly demanding puzzle-solving experience. - TECHNICAL - GAME ID: SHVC-BB - TRIVIA - Bombuzal was released on December 1, 1990 (Saturday) in Japan at a retail price of 6,500 JPY. Isometric Complexity: The isometric perspective, while visually striking for an early 1990s release, actually serves a mechanical purpose. It forces the player to analyze the terrain and height differences of the floating tiles, turning simple traversal into a complex puzzle of navigation. The "One Wrong Move" Penalty: Bombuzal is famous for its punishing difficulty. Because clearing a board involves setting off a chain reaction, a single premature explosion or a misplaced step often means the entire level must be restarted. This "all or nothing" design makes it a quintessential title for players who enjoy high-stakes, methodical puzzle solving. Early Super Famicom Library: As an early 1990 release, Bombuzal demonstrates that the Super Famicom was capable of handling complex, non-action-oriented titles right from its launch. It offered a stark contrast to the platformers and arcade ports that dominated the early library, highlighting the console's potential for brain-teasers. Kemco's Puzzle Roots: This title is a great example of Kemco's early interest in the puzzle genre. By focusing on abstract, logical challenges, they helped build a diverse library for the Super Famicom, proving early on that the machine wasn't just for fast action, but for deep, considered gameplay. The Chain-Reaction Mechanic: The thrill of the game comes from the "explosion" at the end. Once the player has navigated the board and set up the chain, watching it all go off correctly is incredibly satisfying. This "payoff" mechanic is what keeps players coming back despite the high level of frustration that accompanies the game's difficult puzzles. Collector’s Note: Bombuzal is a classic "hidden gem." It is often overlooked in favor of the more famous action titles, but for collectors of early Super Famicom history, it is a significant piece of software that shows how early the platform was being pushed to host intellectually demanding games. - TIPS AND TRICKS - Level Password -------------- 1 BPMB BOMB 2 TFST TEST 3 SPBP SOAP 4 RBCG RACE 5 RPSS ROSS 6 FBJR FAIR 7 QVJZ QUIZ 8 RFFD REED 9 RBTT RATT 10 RBFT RAFT 11 PVFN OVEN 12 NFWS NEWS 13 LJSB LISA 14 MVLF MULE 15 MVFF MUFF 16 DJMF DIME 17 DBVG DAVE 18 DPLL DOLL 19 DJSK DISK 20 GBTF GATE 21 JRPN IRON 22 GBMF GAME 23 PBSS PASS 24 WPRG WORD 25 LFBG LEAD 26 CVFF CUFF 27 LPJC EPIC 28 DBTG DATE 29 WGGD WEED 30 TJMG TIME 31 PBJL PAIL 32 SHJP SHIP 33 RJNG RING 34 SHPR SHOP 35 SJZF SIZE 36 TBLK TALK 37 GJRL GIRL 38 ZPPM ZOOM 39 ZPNG ZONE 40 ZJNC ZINC 41 GPLD GOLD 42 ZGRP ZERO 43 YPLK YOLK 44 YGLL YELL 45 PPBL OPAL 46 YBRD YARD 47 WPPL WOOL 48 WJRG WINE 49 SPNG SONG 50 WJND WIND 51 WGST WEST 52 WBVF WAVE 53 FJRF FIRE 54 WBSP WASP 55 VJSB VISA 56 VFST VEST 57 LBMP LAMP 58 VNBT UNIT 59 TYRF TYRE 60 TYPF TYPE 61 TRGG TREE 62 TWJN TWIN 63 TVSK TUSK 64 TVNF TUNE 65 TPNY TONY 66 SWBN SWAN 67 STBR STAR 68 SPLP SOLO 69 LPVG LOVE 70 SPVP SOUP 71 RPSF ROSE 72 RPPF ROOF 73 RFST BIRD 74 RPPT ROOT 75 RFST REST 76 RFBD READ 77 TBPF TAPE 78 RBJN RAIN 79 NPTF NOTE 80 NFST NEST 81 VBSF VASE 82 NBMF NAME 83 NBJL NAIL 84 MJND MIND 85 PJLL PILL 86 MBJL MAIL 87 LJLY LILY 88 LFNS LENS 89 SPQT SPOT 90 LBRK LARK 91 KNQB KNOB 92 KNFF KNEE 93 PBLM PALM 94 KBNG KING 95 KBND KIND 96 KBLT KILT 97 LQCK LOCK 98 JVNF JUNE 99 JFBN JEAN 100 JBZZ JAZZ 101 SBFG SAFE 102 JTGM ITEM 103 JSLG ISLE 104 HQST HOST 105 WQRM WORM 106 HQLD HOLD 107 HJLL HILL 108 HGRB HERB 109 NQSF NOSE 110 HFLP HELP 111 GVST GUST 112 GQWN GOWN 113 FYGS EYES 114 GLQW GLOW 115 GJFT GIFT 116 FWSG FUSE 117 HBJR HAIR 118 FJVF FIVE 119 FBCG FACE 120 GXJT EXIT 121 SKGN SIGN 122 GBSG EASE 123 DQXR DOOR 124 CRZB CRAB 125 MYTH MYTH 126 CXPY COPY 127 MBKV MAKE 128 BVTP AUTO 129 FNDS ENDS 130 DFMQ DEMO - STAFF - Program: Super Mic Sound: Hiroyuki Masuno (Hiro) Character: Kiminari Sueda, H.
