Explodemon

An explosive homage to SNES-era platformers mixed with a modern physics-puzzle twist, Explodemon is non-stop action mayhem like you've never seen before. Players use Explodemon's self-destructive nature to combat enemies and fly through the air, all the while solving a huge variety of physics-based puzzles (and, naturally, causing incalculable collateral damage).

Development

Design director Jonathan Biddle, who created the original Explodemon! prototype in November 2005 in his spare time, describes the game as "what Treasure would create if they mixed Yoshi’s Island with Half-Life 2, and is inspired by elements from games as diverse as Street Fighter II, Halo, Super Metroid and Bangai-O".

Reception

The PlayStation 3 version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
