WHATS BOOM?

BOOM is an arcade game in the grand tradition, bringing the playability and feel of the glorious 8-bit consoles on the Macintosh.
It can be described as Bomberman meets Doom. Actually, I took the basic Bomberman idea and dropped it in a Super-Deformed Doom scenario (whatever this means).
If you don't know what Bomberman and Doom are, definitely you've never played a computer game. This is the right time to start.

BOOM's main features are:
 
     Smooth sprite based animations in 256 colors
     8 different soundtracks and multi-channel sound effects
     Simultaneous two players action
     80 different levels
     10 different enemy characters varying in intelligence and weaponry
     Mid-game monsters and a final Super Boss
