Ian Fisher writes: Explodemon is a carefree side-scrolling action game that pays wonderful homage to the games many of us played in the early to mid-1990s without feeling like it’s trying to imitate every single aspect of those games. With gameplay mechanics that are easy to get a grasp of while still requiring a level of skill to get the best score or pass the few tough end of game levels, Explodemon is perfectly balanced and accessible for both this generation of gamers and those who grew up with Mega Man or Vector Man as their heroes.
Explodemon combines the retro style of 16-bit platform games and Japanese action titles with the upgradable skills, hidden collectables and clever puzzles from more modern titles. Players use Explodemon's self-destructive nature to combat enemies and fly through the air, all the while solving a huge variety of physics-based puzzles.

(CriticalIndieGamer) It has been said many times that imitation is the highest form of flattery. Nearly everything from the 20th century thought to be an original idea was derived from some other work. Homages, remakes, tributes all of these words apply to the same thing, the philosophy that originality is dead and everything is a rehash. Charles Caleb Colton is famous for the phrase “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” which brings us to Curve Studios' effort, Explodemon.
