Our take on Explodemon
Rather than treating explosions only as attacks, the game makes self-destruction part of movement and puzzle solving. Its retro platforming structure is paired with upgradeable skills, hidden collectables, and achievements, replacing a purely fixed arcade-style progression with additional exploration and customization.
What is Explodemon?
Explodemon is a platforming action game styled after 16-bit and Japanese action titles.
Its central mechanic turns the character’s self-destructive nature into a tool for attacking enemies and launching through the air. Across 12 levels in three worlds, players encounter changing hazards, physics-based puzzles, hidden collectables, and upgradeable skills. The game also includes a comic story, 20 achievements, keyboard support, and controller support.
