\"\"<\/a>Whenever a game gets popular, there are almost always imitators soon after.\u00a0 Such is the case with Suika Game.\u00a0 This was a fruit matching puzzle game that came out last year and gained a bit of notoriety on the Internet.\u00a0 Heck, even I reviewed it when it was free for a short while on the Nintendo Switch Online Service<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 And now here comes Bomb Cat, which is pretty much the exact same game on Switch, but with an explosive twist!<\/p>\n

Gameplay in Bomb Cat is super simple.\u00a0 You control a hand on the top of the screen and can move it left and right.\u00a0 Press the button to drop a ball shaped cat into a bin.\u00a0 The game is physics based, so your cats will roll around in the bin.\u00a0 When two of the same cats touch each other, they\u2019ll merge into a bigger cat and you\u2019ll get points.\u00a0 The new thing added to this game are bomb cats.\u00a0 They don\u2019t disappear if two of them match up.\u00a0 But sometimes when you match up other cats, one of the sequences turns them into a fireball cat.\u00a0 If the bomb cat touches the fireball cat, it’ll ignite and explode.\u00a0 This will send the other cats flying around, which can be both harmful and beneficial.\u00a0 It can sometimes mix around the cats in your bin, keeping you in the game.\u00a0 But if any of them fly outside the bin, you can still get a Game Over so you must use caution and strategy when dealing with them.\u00a0 The game is over when a cat flies out of the bin and doesn\u2019t fall back in, or if your stack reaches a line at the top.\u00a0 Then the game tallies your score and saves the highest one.<\/p>\n

My only problems with this game were that since it\u2019s physics based, the movements of the cats rolling around can be a bit unpredictable and imprecise.\u00a0 And the game could\u2019ve had a few more features, like saving more than one high score, a leaderboard, or a two player option.\u00a0 But even so, this one is just as addictive as Suika Game was, so if you liked that one, you might want to try Bomb Cat out, too.<\/p>\n

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

Nothing too violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 When the bomb cats explode, they just disappear in a puff of smoke and send the other cats flying around.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed so most any age can understand it.\u00a0 Bomb Cat is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
