How it feels
A cute but deadly retro arcade puzzle game with a focus on explosions and quick tactical moves.

What players say
Players say Explosive Jake is a direct Bomberman clone, but it splits opinion. Some enjoy the retro arcade feel, while others find the controls stiff and the bomb placement finicky, requiring pixel-perfect positioning. The fixed enemy paths and the need to clear every crate to find the key make it feel slow and repetitive, though many praise the chiptune soundtrack.
