Description
Lode Doomer is a variety of legendary Lode Runner, but enemies here are smarter than in the original game. Various monsters will pursue your superhero on many levels. A timer will ruthlessly count out time before an explosion. Good reflexes, sharp wit, playing skill are needed to help the hero collecting all bombs on the screen in order to get access to the next stage. The game has beautiful graphics and nice music.
Review
Despite some imperfections in gameplay and graphics, this arcade-style game provides a fast-paced experience. In Lode Doomer, you must navigate a series or platforms via ladders and ropes to disable all the bombs on the board. However, your enemies are in constant pursuit, so you have to keep moving at all times. We find it curious that your character can't jump, though you can break bricks out of walls to maneuver your way out of tight spots. We also wish we had a weapon so we could aggressively defend ourselves against our foes. Lode Doomer's graphics are a mixed bag; the background scenery is nicely done, but all characters are quite tiny, which often makes it tough to follow the action. Despite its simplicity, this program offers a decent challenge, as all bombs reappear on a level each time you die, forcing you to start from scratch. Still, we would have appreciated more features and additional levels beyond the five found in the demo. Nevertheless, fans of platform-style games might find Lode Doomer worth a run or two.
