Boombox 2 is a puzzler somewhere near Tetris but closer to super bubble pop. You fire blocks from your cannon at the bottom to connect to the blocks at the top of the screen. Once four blocks are connected they burst and clear from the screen. The added strategy comes in the form of power ups. Power ups occasionally fall from blocks as they explode. The game comes equipped with two different modes one arcade and one story. The only difference is in story mode the goal is to clear the screen and in arcade mode the screen keeps coming down. You lose when the blocks from the top cross your line at the bottom. The line isn't necessarily at the bottom, it's a little above your actual gun so you have a little breathing room.

Overall

Boombox 2 is a very fun game but only in small spurts. The game doesn't reach too far away from its roots. You shoot the blocks they blow up and repeat. This shallow play will only hold your attention for but so long. On top of being a good looking game the music suits the game well and the sound fx are great. Minor tweaks would have made this game a huge hit. Perhaps a change in scenery or a higher reward yield for gaining levels and Boombox 2 would have been a must play. If you're looking for a good time waster in between work or just a quick break Boombox 2 is the route to go.
