Exploders

Exploders was a bomberman video game developed and published by ExplorersGame on August 16, 2012 for the Internet.

As of 2017, the game can be no longer played, due to the servers crashing.

Gameplay
The game is pretty much a fangame of Bomberman, despite with people around the world. If you start the game, you have to wait a little for more people around the world to start the game too. Then, on the character select screen, you have to do a oblivious thing, which is to select a character, which is a figure. Then, once you will select your character, you have to vote on which map you want to play, or simply skip it. The gameplay contains 3 rounds. You have to eliminate all opponents using bombs, and collect power-ups in order to get the highest place as possible. If the timer runs out, it's sudden death, which means, the map becomes smaller and smaller. If the player has the highest place from 1 to 3, he will be seen on the victory screen. Then, the player must wait a few seconds until the results screen will show up and wait until he/she will be able to play again.

Why It Rocked

 * 1) Impressive-looking graphics, especially for a flash game from 2012. The game looks like it wants to look like a cartoon, much like Plants vs. Zombies, or Bad Piggies. No matter how much you will look at the graphics, you would refuse to decide to hate them, due to their impressive look. And similiar to other flash games, like Uphill Rush, the graphics can look awesome, especially if more people would make the graphics, or even one person, similiar to Mario Forever.
 * 2) The character designs look pretty nice, especially since the characters are figures with different hats, clothes and even eye gear. One of them has purple shoes, compared to other characters, who have black shoes. And on top of that, some of the characters look even cute, mostly if they have rabbit years or other clothes, hats, or even hair that make them cute.
 * 3) Awesome, and even catchy soundtrack that would make you want to try to find the actual songs from this game. Especially the character select and map voting screen, or even the theme when you get the 1st place, if you have more points than your opponents. No matter which soundtrack is playing, it will never stop being awesome and catchy at all, thanks to how it was very well composed.
 * 4) The controls are pretty obvious and even responsive, especially for a Bomberman fangame. You move with arrow keys, and plant a bomb with space bar. There are even some hidden things that can be activated while pressing a different key on your keyboard (see WIR#5).
 * 5) There's a ability where you can be the bomb, which is basically a power-up that can be activated by pressing shift only if you have it and your character will turn into a bomb). Once you will die, your character turn back to normal instead of exploding. Basically, this power-up can be fun to use, especially if you love playing hide and seek in real life a lot of times.
 * 6) Speaking of power-ups, there's a total of 7 types of bombs, which each of them are named differently, and something different happens when they explode.
 * 7) *Normal bomb: Just a regular bomb that starts in every round.
 * 8) *Power bomb: A bigger bomb, compared to regular bombs, which explodes even bigger.
 * 9) *Dangerous bomb: A bomb that explodes in 5 lines in every side, which destroys more blocks where the power-ups are hidden.
 * 10) *Spike bomb: A bomb that has a blue explosion, compared to other bombs, and it can destroy multiple blocks where the power-ups are hidden. It can even kill other players easily.
 * 11) *Mine: As expected from it's name, when you plant it, it hiddes, meaning once you or your opponents accidentally run into the spot where the mine was planted, he/she dies.
 * 12) *Bouncing bomb: A bomb that doesn't stop if it touches a wall/block if you push it (only if you will collect an ability to kick bombs). If 2 of them will touch each other, they turn into a dangerous bomb.
 * 13) *Changing bomb: As said before, it's a bomb that you can turn into a bomb if you will press shift, only if you will collect that bomb.
 * 14) As said before, you can play with people around the entire world, only if they have a computer and Internet connection, which is a very neat idea, especially if people would want to play a Bomberman fangame that lets people play with other people around the world with Internet connection, thanks to the developers of ''Exploders.
 * 15) You can create an account in this game, which is very worth it. It unlocks more characters, so you can have and play as characters that are not only for Guests who don't have an account, but with the characters that can be unlocked via creating an account and being logged in.
