Dynamite Jack

Take one part stealth action game, but give the protagonist an unlimited supply of bombs, and you end up with something close to Dynamite Jack. It?s a top-down 2D puzzle/action game where you play a space marine trying to escape a mine after ditching that whole captivity thing. Being chained down ain?t Jack?s bag, baby. Jack likes to blow stuff up

It’s also easy to lure the guards into bomb traps that eliminate them completely. Press the bomb button once to place the bomb and then hit it again to blow it up. This prevents you from placing multiple bombs all over the place but allows you ample time to walk to the other side of the level if you care to. The guards and other enemies won’t even notice if they’re standing directly on top of one.

Dynamite Jack is not something that’s going to test the limits of your graphics card, but its simple aesthetic and finely-polished effects are attractive. It runs great and the controls are spot-on. The game does a great job introducing new mechanics, environmental elements, and enemies at a steady pace but the repetitive nature might wear thin pretty quickly. The easily-tricked AI is probably the game’s biggest detriment, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not fun seeing what sort of traps you can set. There’s still a thrill to be had by narrowly escaping the guards and slipping between beams of light. Some might even say that when Dynamite Jack is at its best, it’s a blast.
