Explore the versatile mechanic of laying bombs in this explosive exploration platformer.<\/p>\n<p>In the game you can lay stacks of explosives to reach impossibly high places, kick bombs to take out staff and deadly native wildlife, as well as bounce your bombs through impassable areas and even around corners. You can also use your bombs as a handy weight, create a barricade and shield enemy attacks, dig and destroy to uncover secret areas, and set things on fire and watch them burn.<\/p>\n<p>The game is said to feature super simple controls anyone can play. <em>Bomb Chicken<\/em> has some gorgeous pixel art, which is always a draw for me, from the award-winning studio at Nitrome Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>No firm release date for the game other than this summer.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ndpq8X-UYy8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><center> <\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/jQUko9niqkGxW6XoVVWQ4w\/172118487535\" data-did=\"53498727d8404aafcb73a078a0dc428f85b27a90\"><a href=\"http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/172118487535\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom\">http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/172118487535\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom<\/a><\/div>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/assets.tumblr.com\/post.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the games highlighted in Nintendo&#8217;s Nindies presentation looks like it&#8217;s going to be a blast.
