Hey everyone!

I emailed him. Will let you know what I hear. I sent him the URL of this page.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I sure hope he is feeling better soon. His reviewing these games has been a great help for me and a real asset to the site.
You just don't realize how important someone's contribution is until they go away for a spell.

Plague Infection is a Bomberman "clone" but more quickly put together. Controls are WASD or Arrow Keys to move and spacebar to set a bomb. R returns to menu for some reason instead of ESCAPE. A couple upgrades exist such as moving faster, halo appears to keep you from dying from your own bomb, and the skull will kill you so you have to go around it for example.

The truth is as usual that it's always hard for me to give a negative review to such a cheap game and/or something that isnt developed a long time to be a full game, but it has a few too many problems for such a simple game that could otherwise be quite fun if further or more effort was put into it. Sound is fine and can be turned off in settings.

I died quite too much getting to level 3 in trying it out. The main issue is that it doesn't support 2 key presses at the same time, so if you want to drop a bomb, you have to stop. The collision detection sometimes will also hit you or them even when not in the same space. The bombs explode pretty fast and so with the upgrade that makes the flames further dont work well at this speed. if the game is going to be sold it needs improvement in these areas.

This apparently is from a gamemaker studio template as there is also Pug with bomb that was released around the same time from the same template. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_IQIHLjQVU If you like bomberman games, besides what jason mentioned, A TG-16 version apparently can be played in the browser here I just found if you wish to see why the old bomberman games were popular.

Rating: D+ (C- quality with issues in the gameplay holding it back).

Looks like a fun game.

For those who want to see what the game is like, I could find just one demo video:

Today's game is like the game Bomberman which came out on various consoles and eventually became a Multiplayer sensation.

The object is very simple. Set out stuff to open up walls and collect the needles in the game. You can also try the strategy to blow up your enemies as well.

One thing I'd like to note is that this game requires a good skill to prevent the bottles you set out to blow up walls from defeating you. They explode pretty quick. And this game moves pretty quick for that matter.

If you are into Bomberman type of games and you have the computer to run it, the fantastic Bomberman R is on sale on Steam for $7.99 which the sale expires on the 23rd.

You can find that game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/702700/Super_Bomberman_R

Also a curator on Steam has assembled a list of games that are like that game which may be worth checking out. You can see this curator list here:

Overall this game is for small breaks only. No real engaging gameplay here.
