Tetris 2 + Bombliss[a] is a 1991 puzzle video game developed by Chunsoft and published by Bullet-Proof Software for the Famicom.[1]
Gameplay
In Bombliss, falling pieces contain bombs. Each piece may contain no bombs, one bomb, or be entirely made of bombs. When rows of the playfield are filled, they do not disappear as in other games; the bombs within the row explode depending on how many rows are filled at one time. It is possible for rows to be filled with no bombs, which increases the size of the next explosion.[2][3]
Bombliss uses the sticky style of line clear gravity, allowing pieces unconnected to anything to fall. This allows chain reactions.
Whenever a piece enters the playfield, if four bombs are arranged into the shape of an O tetromino they will become a larger bomb. Unlike in The New Tetris, these transformations happen only after the field has settled after explosions and gravity, meaning that large bombs can be formed only in rows that still have a gap. Unlike in Lumines, large bombs cannot be made of overlapping blocks.
Development
Tsunekazu Ishihara was passionate of the Tetris series. At one point, he was going to meet the game's founder, Alexey Pajitnov, at the USSR in order to have the rights to the Tetris intellectual property, but did it too late after Henk Rogers met the latter first. This passion remained after Ishihara wrote a book about the Famicom game and met Koichi Nakamura, then founder of the company Chunsoft. The development of Tetris 2 + Bombliss started after he gathered Nakamura and Masanobu Endo, creating new rules that would later become Bombliss.[4][5]
Recepetion
The meeting between Ishihara and Nakamura kickstarted the crossover between the Pokémon and Mystery Dungeon franchises decades after the release of Tetris 2 + Bombliss, making the spin-off game Pokémon Mystery Dungeon in 2005.[4][5]
