Bomber Bot is the new game and is inspired by classics like Bomber Man, or, if you prefer, Eric and the Floaters. The story has nothing to do with it, as here we have to rid our planet of an alien threat, which has decided to take over all our nuclear power plants. These aliens look like giant octopuses, but a bomb placed at the right place and time is enough to take them (and sometimes us) away.

As the sprites are small, this allows for a much larger playing area than the games mentioned above. It is therefore possible to create very varied scenarios, with lots of enemies and obstacles (some destructible and revealing "prizes") and lots of levels, without fear of running out of the ZX Spectrum's limited memory (note that despite the game being less than 48K, it only runs at 128K).

But with such small sprites, a disadvantage inevitably arises, at least if we want to reach the end of the mission. It is then much more difficult to eliminate enemies, and it becomes more worrying, because the bombs are limited in number, although some are hidden in elements of the scene. Therefore, we will have to use bombs sparingly, otherwise we run the risk of being at the mercy of our enemies. Fortunately, there is no time limit to complete each level, so we have enough time to just risk deposing the bombs.

The game is highly addictive and fun and the only flaw we found was some difficulty in placing the bombs. Or rather, not exactly in the placement of the bombs, but in the place we are facing, right after dropping a bomb. Sometimes we are facing the wrong place, trapped between an enemy or obstacle, and inevitably the explosion hits us. But nothing that experience and some manual dexterity can't solve...
