Boulder Dash Xmas

Game review

To no one's surprise, this is a holiday-themed version of the classic Boulder Dash game. This edition brings the nostalgic gameplay of Boulder Dash to a festive setting, offering fans of the original a delightful seasonal twist. In Boulder Dash Xmas, players take on the role of the game’s protagonist, who navigates through a series of underground levels. The objective is to collect a certain number of gems in each level before time runs out, all while avoiding various obstacles and enemies. The Christmas edition adds a festive flair to the game, with levels decorated in holiday themes, featuring snowy landscapes, ice, Christmas trees, and holiday decorations.

The gameplay mechanics remain true to the original Boulder Dash. Players dig through dirt to create paths, collect gems, and avoid getting trapped or crushed by falling boulders. Strategic thinking is required to navigate the levels successfully, as moving dirt and boulders can create chain reactions that can either help or hinder the player’s progress.

One of the challenges in Boulder Dash Xmas is the enemies, which include creatures that roam the levels or emerge from destroyed boulders. Players must carefully plan their moves to avoid these enemies while collecting all the gems to complete the level.

Boulder Dash Xmas is not just a mere seasonal reskin of the original game; it offers new levels and challenges that are designed to fit the holiday theme. This makes the game appealing both to long-time fans of Boulder Dash and to new players looking for a fun and festive puzzle-solving challenge.
