To be clear, I like Ponpu as a game. I really do - it's a fun little Bomberman clone with its own mechanics involving bouncing bombs off stuff that make it easy to pick up. The only problem is that it appears to be a straight console port off either the PS4 or Xbox One and doesn't have any options for PCs whatsoever.. and this can render the game unplayable...
The only way to describe this game is if you take the game mechanics from Bomberman, gave it the gameplay and general vibe of the Blinding of Isacc, and give it absolutely stunning hand-drawn visuals.

Ponpu is a not particularly long game. It’s definitely not going to blow your mind in anyway but I can see it being pretty fun under the correct circumstances. There’s a couple of things about that just barely keep it from being above average.

Ponpu is a pretty cool Bomberman inspired game. Small story mode and a variety of multiplayer modes, coupled with the cheap price makes it a decent party game to pick up with friends during a sale. Not a whole lot too the game mechanically speaking, but it is fun, and it has an art style that really pops.
