Bombastic puts you in control of a veritable minefield of explosive, moving dice. Roll the dice around the field to link them in like combinations. Once they connect, the dice are detonated and will explode. Dont get too close as the explosion will knock you into next week. The object is to clear each Bombastic level. Be careful! The action gets harder and harder as you go along! Over seven modes of play include Standard, Attack, Limited, Quest Mode, Classic, War and more! So many ways to play! So little time! Get ready to go Bombastic! [Capcom]

If you're pining for something with charm, accessibility, instant playability, hidden depths, and above all else fun, then for twenty quid you can't go far wrong with Bombastic. Sure, it's the kind of game that could've been made ten years ago, and is as basic as games get these days, but that's exactly what appealed to us.

What initially seemed overly mathematical and number-crunchingly complex has now taken over my psyche. When I close my eyes I see pulsating dice in fabulous combinations. [Sept 2003, p.113]

It's surprisingly addictive and really does make math fun. No, really! [Oct 2003, p.77]

If twisting your mind into knots sounds like fun, you'll love Bombastic. [Oct 2003, p.40]

It's a great puzzler. Definitely a little weird, but most certainly good. [Sept 2003, p.109]

Once you begin figuring out the combo system and how to manipulate the dice, Bombastic becomes oddly addictive. [Sept 2003, p.54]

While the addictive qualities are still intact, the addition of explosives has slightly upset the delicate balance. Big combos here tend to owe as much to good fortune as they do to prudence and it can feel like you're over-working your brain for too little result. [Christmas 2003, p.124]

Edge Magazine
There's not as much depth as Tetris or Puyo Puyo, but there's not much that disappoints about Bombastic apart from a rather lacklustre platform game that's been bolted on. The deeply involving puzzle mechanics brilliantly build on the foundations laid down by Devil Dice. [Christmas 2003, p.124]

Maybe the most irritating thing is that, for all its complexity, Bombastic isn't the slightest bit difficult. [Sept 2003, p.93]
