Dynablaster is a puzzle game released in 1991 for the Game Boy, developed by Hudson.

It landed about 2 years into the Game Boy's life. Other notable Game Boy releases from 1991 include Metroid II: Return of Samus, Final Fantasy Adventure and Yoshi.

It is part of the Bomberman series; on the Game Boy you can also try Atomic Punk, Pocket Bomberman and Bomberman GB. The series also appears on other systems with Bomberman II (NES) and Bomberman 64 (N64). Hudson also made Milon's Secret Castle, Felix the Cat and Hudson's Adventure Island for the Game Boy.

Dynablaster is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the Game Boy hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want story, exploration or action
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Dynablaster is like

Tip for newcomers: Puzzle games are perfect for short sessions and often have endless or score-attack modes, so they never really end.
