How it feels

A fast-paced 2D platformer where you constantly explode to fight and fly through physics-based puzzles, with a nostalgic 16-bit feel.

What players say

Players are split on Explodemon. Some enjoy its chaotic explosion-based platforming and nostalgic 16-bit feel, but many criticize the clunky controls that fail to register simultaneous inputs, repetitive level design, and physics glitches that can destroy collectibles. The no-save option is a divisive homage to retro games.
