Nach 5 Minuten schon hin und weg. Wirklich sehr schönes Package zum 40sten. Schöne Grafik und angenehmer Sound. Spielt sich sehr gut. Fairer Preis.
None of my controllers work in this game. Keyboard input doesn't work either! This Game is SCAM!
This is one of my favourite games from my childhood. It was the Commodore 64 version I played. This is a decent update to the game. It has a bunch of new levels as well as a selection of favourites from previous games. Lastly, we have the first three games revamped for the new engine. It is a little basic graphically. I would have preferred they kept to a 2D world rather than moving to 3D. The music and sound effects can also be a little cheesy. However the gameplay is great. I would suggest using the D-Pad or keyboard to play, as you need a fair amount of precision to get those high scores.
comment faire bouger le petit bonhomme ? Quelles touches ? Ici, rien ne fonctionne ! Je ne comprends pas. Merci de votre aide
Нет возможности выбрать уровень сложности, в некоторых уровнях дается очень мало времени. Производителю явно плевать на тех, кому он продает игру, ему лишь бы деньги получить, а то, что многие люди не смогут нормально поиграть - их не интересует. Такие игры покупает не только молодежь а и люди сильно по старше, не нужно быть гением чтобы понять что должна быть возможность отключить таймер. Никакого удовольствия от игры - выкинутые деньги, разработчики явно так и задумывали. Хотя некоторые уровни проходятся довольно легко, в целом игра производит довольно неприятное впечатление из-за наплевательского отношения разработчика к игрокам.
Amazing, I've been playing BD1-2 since the 80s. I also like the new levels a lot. I hope they release some extra levels packs. NO ONE's, ARNO, ...
The game works correctly only at 60 Hz. The bug was reported a year ago, yet there's still no fix. It's a fun game, but it's currently unplayable, so I asked Valve for a refund. Fix your damn game because the price you're asking for it is absurdly high.
This is a good recreation of the BD games, much better than the 30th version, and the fact that you can play the original levels with original retro skins really makes this a good game.
The game I've missed a lot. New caves are interesting, have the spirit of original game (one of the best game of my childhood: BD1, Atari). Still entertaining, relaxing and challenging now in 2025. Respect to the developers and of course to Peter Liepa for this masterpiece.
Ich kenne Boulder Dash schon aus meiner Jugend. Es ist leicht verständlich, eine Herausforderung für jeden, der gerne ein bisschen "knobelt" und hat einen absoluten Suchtfaktor. Ich finde es klasse, dass es das Game heute noch gibt!
