Bomberman for Nintendo DS is an action-puzzle game that blends strategic maze navigation with explosive combat. Players control the titular character, Bomberman, as he navigates through levels filled with enemies, power-ups, and destructible walls. The game leverages the DS's dual screens to enhance the classic gameplay with additional features like more complex level layouts and touch screen mechanics. The objective is to strategically place bombs to destroy obstacles and opponents while avoiding being caught in the blasts. It includes both a single-player campaign and multiplayer modes for competitive play.
