General Commentary and Game Overview
Reviewing another game by Friendly Dictator, whose games tend to star a different character. This time, it's a Bob-omb who is tired of being Bowser's forces, and is trying to give his friends freedom.

Now, this story reminds me one of my old hand-drawn comics where King Bob-omb tried to destroy both Toad Town and Bowser's Castle, but let's just focus on the review, shall we?
 
Pros +Underused NSMB graphics
+Nice ideas
+Story is a little original
+Includes a level editor
+Great transition
 
Cons -Gets from easy to hard too quickly
-A lot of sounds appear to be missing
-Almost uses the same boss
 
Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
Like all puzzle games, you have to use your mind to complete the levels. This one has a Bob-omb which can't be controlled by the player, and instead has to drag and click blocks to assist him. Some gimmicks were well thought out and I never seen something like that.

There is also the Bowser battles, in which you have to make go into a pitfall. However, it can get a little repetitive since almost Bowser battle are just the same, expect for different level layouts.

The level design is okay, but it get's from easy to hard too quickly. Otherwise for gameplay, there is a level editor (though, it's a little buggy and un-user friendly).
 
Graphics
10 / 10
Every single bit of the graphics are NSMB ones, which are underused and amazing. Nothing clashes and they never feel eye hurting or anything.
 
Sound
6 / 10
The music are just ones from different games, and not many don't feel any inspiring. The final boss tune could have been done better.

The sound effects were good and Bowser's growl when he's defeated, can be worth a smile and doesn't sound annoying. But a lot of stuff are lacking sounds.
 
Replay
6 / 10
When you beat the game, it will tally your death count which adds a bit of replay value. The level editor could be used to pass a little bit of time, but it's a little buggy.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
It might feel a little quiet without music, but you will like to try this if you love puzzle games.
