Little Bombers Returns 1.0

If you liked the Bomberman game, you will like Little Bombers Returns, a fun game for Windows published by Alawar Entertainment. As the developer put it, the game focuses on the adventures of “little brave bombers, trapped in the dungeons of a mysterious castle.”

On each of the game’s 81 levels, you will have to defeat your enemies by strategically placing bombs to take them out. Taking out the enemies and blowing up brick walls is what you have to do to move from one level to another. Take care when placing the bombs as you may blow yourself up as well. After you place a bomb, make sure to put enough space between your character and the bomb before it goes off.

If you’re unlucky enough to blow yourself up, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that you can use a level password to pick up from where you left off. The bad news is that you will lose your score.

You can play Little Bombers Returns by yourself, or with other human players (your children or your friends for example). Up to 4 players using the same keyboard can play the Little Bombers Returns game.

If you decide to play with a friend for example, you can play cooperatively and work together to take out the monsters. Or you can play in Battle mode and fight one another. Bonuses like speed-boost and extra bombs will give you the edge you need to take out your opponent.

After you download and install Little Bombers Returns on your Windows-powered PC you can play the game free of charge for a trial period of 60 minutes.
