Ka-Bo0m v0.1: Minesweeper upgraded

  

Stravingo is funny as heck. He’s not only created a DS version of Minesweeper, which he calls Ka-Bo0m, but he’s also added a nice Wile E. Coyote reference to the whole bit.

Ka-Bo0m is a game of Minesweeper, expanded for your DS. As is natural with the DS, you click on the tiles using your stylus, which reveals either a clear space or a bomb. If it’s clear, then you can try and decipher which adjacent squares have bombs or not as you attempt to clear the board.

One of the more intriguing elements of this game is one addition he’s made when you click on a bomb. According to his game description, if you click on a bomb, you have a few seconds to blow into the mike to stop the fuse from igniting the bomb, keeping you from losing the game. Not only do you have to be analytical, it seems, but you also have to be quick if you want to survive this special version of Minesweeper.

As he places in his notes, “you can play on terrains that are as large as 1 screen (normal), 1×2 screens (double) or 2×2 screens (huge).” In any case, what we have below are the instructions for playing the game, just in case you have trouble deciphering how to move across the board. In any case, enjoy the game, alright?

Directions:

• Stylus: to turn over a flagstone
• L or R + Stylus: to mark a flagstone
• Pad: scroll the ground in double mode or huge
• Start: to stop the part to return to the menu
• Microphone: to blow and extinguish a bomb!
