\"\"<\/a>Play as two heroic jetpack riding kids as you chuck bombs at enemy robots and collect diamonds to buy upgrades in Dyna Bomb 2.\u00a0 It\u2019s a colorful 2-D platformer available for all current consoles, but reviewed on Switch here.\u00a0 I never played the first Dyna Bomb game, so I don\u2019t know what\u2019s changed or improved in the sequel.<\/p>\n

You can play single player or two player co-op.\u00a0 Each level is fairly short, but there\u2019s a lot of stuff going on.\u00a0 You can press the jump button to jump, or hold it down to use your jetpack to fly.\u00a0 You can also throw bombs with the attack button.\u00a0 But be careful as your jetpack and bombs are limited.\u00a0 You have to wait for the jetpack to charge by landing for a while, and you can collect more bombs in certain boxes.\u00a0 To complete a level, you must first find a key which opens a door, then you must go to the door.\u00a0 You can take three hits and after that you must start the level over again.<\/p>\n

Scattered all over the levels are diamonds you can collect, and each stage also has four pieces of a golden ball thing you can get.\u00a0 You use these collectables to purchase items in a shop.\u00a0 Some are just temporary and only last for one level.\u00a0 Like a magnet that pulls diamonds toward you, or missiles that you can switch to that are easier to use than bombs.\u00a0 Other items are permanent but either way they all cost TONS of diamonds and\/or golden ball things, so you won\u2019t be buying much for a while.<\/p>\n

It was hard for me to stay interested in this game for several reasons.\u00a0 I liked the colorful graphics, but that also made it hard to see the key you\u2019re supposed to collect, as well as the robot enemies.\u00a0 Especially since there are a lot of blind jumps and such.\u00a0 And since you can only take a couple of hits, it got rather frustrating.\u00a0 Also, the game\u2019s pace is a bit slower, which made it feel more plodding than anything.\u00a0 Finally, the game is just a bit generic overall.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dyna Bomb 2 is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You throw bombs at robots that explode when defeated, and when you lose all your energy, you just fall over. \u00a0Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, and younger gamers may find it too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
