Nitrome’s latest browser game, Rainbogeddon , is a single or local co-op experience that essentially crosses Pac-Man with Bomberman. The basic goal is to survive long enough to collect all of the pills (little white squares) on the level. Players have a lot of self-explanatory power-ups, which can be upgraded by collecting them in multiplicity, to aid the journey. I found the tail power-up particularly interesting. Your rear will be safe from enemies as long as you are wearing it, as enemies can’t pass through it. You can also make a piece of your tail fall off (gross?) on the stage to strategically block others. Like Bomberman, you have bombs, and they can pin you in a small space and kill you. (Insert instant rage here.) While these bombs clear out huge spaces, there is a bullet power-up that allows for more precise enemy and wall destruction. Some stages can become very long if you start out trigger-bomb-happy. As you blow up a lot of the walls, they will reveal more pills which you are then obligated to collect. Along with the frustratingly fun mixture of gameplay, Nitrome’s signature vibrant color palette and cute sprites are present in Rainbogeddon. It’s all waiting for you here .
