This is a game that I’d really love to see completed. Detonate! is a side project of Terry Cavanagh whose games you may recognise under the banner of Distractionware – he’s also the dab hand responsible for recent flash hit Don’t Look Back [link], which I still haven’t gotten around to playing… but I digress. For a couple of reasons, it’s not entirely sure that Detonate! will see the light of day, but I still reckon it’s deserving of a mention in the small hope I might encourage its development! 
Many years ago I played an Amiga game similar to Atoms [link], a title that was itself based off a C64 game called Overload. The aim is to place atoms on the game grid and eventually make them kersplode into adjacent grids, capturing enemy atoms. If you do this enough and wipe out all opposition, you win. Simple, but addictive – and quite strategic, too. I’m a bit surprised that the concept hasn’t been picked up for a modern platform, and so I did a little happy dance when I unearthed this gem of a WIP.
This style of gameplay has a lot of potential, especially considering the “retro” versions are fairly plain. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this!
