Atomic Punk

"Atomic Punk" features four game modes, including two single-player modes and two multiplayer modes. Solo: "Game A" (known as "Bomber Boy" in the Japanese version) is similar to other games in the series, but has a few differences. Power-ups, called “panels,” which you normally collect in each level and carry over to the next, can also be purchased with GP at a shop. You earn GP based on how long it takes you to complete a level and how many blocks you destroy. At the start of each round, the player decides which panels to use to complete the round. Another difference is that the original’s linear gameplay—where the player advances to the next level after completing each one—has been replaced with a world map featuring nine locations. The second game mode, “Game B” (known as “Bomber Man” in the Japanese version), corresponds to that of the original Bomberman game; however, the playing area is square instead of rectangular, and the screen is always centered on Bomberman rather than scrolling when he touches the edge. Vs.: “Panel Mode,” in which players can initially place only one bomb per turn and the blast radius is one unit, and “Bomb Up” and “Fire Up” tiles appear. "Powerful Mode," in which players can place four bombs per turn and the explosion radius is four units, and in which no tiles appear.
