Dynomite Deluxe Demo

Dinosaurs may be gone for millions of years, but we are constantly reminded that they once existed before humans ever walked the Earth. Movies and video games feature dinosaurs on a regular basis, most of the time as the bad guys that attack you on sight. However, you can also enjoy a couple of friendlier games, which present the big reptiles in a more positive light.

Dynomite Deluxe is a challenging match-three game in which you have to destroy dinosaur eggs using dynamite and a slingshot. It’s no use to think too much about it, because it certainly doesn’t make a lot of sense. However, once you start playing and you get in the mood, it might be difficult to let the game go, because it’s very addictive and there are plenty of levels to enjoy.

As such, the gameplay mechanics are more than simple: you have to use a slingshot in order to match same-colored eggs with each other. When you do that, the dynamite that’s usually around them explodes, which can actually send more than the targeted eggs down. In essence, the goal is to clear the levels of every egg and not let them reach the bottom, otherwise it’s game over.

In case you fear boredom, you must know that there are a few different game modes to try out, including the Endless Challenge, which basically goes on forever until you cannot keep up anymore. Other than that, there is also the Stomped Puzzle, which presents you with a few patterns you must clear in a rush, as well as the Time Trial, in which you obviously have a time limit to complete the stage.

As far as the technical aspect is concerned, the game is a bit old at this point, and it can be observed in the graphics engine. However, it’s by no means horrible, except that the resolution is quite small and you might have trouble enjoying it properly on a large monitor. Other than that, the colors are as bright as ever, while everything else is responsive and smooth, including the controls.

Even if Dynomite Deluxe may be a bit too old to catch your eye nowadays, it still features an addictive set of gameplay mechanics, which are liable to get you hooked from the first try. It is stuffed with content and game modes that always provide you with something new to do.
