Hack description

In an unknown year, on an unknown planet, in an unknown location, a personal war had started. One renegade robot was fighting their way through an underground facility, destroying walls and anyone who got in their way. Fueled by the idea of becoming human and empowered by their ability to generate bombs, they simply would not be stopped from their goal of reaching the surface.

That robot... is Pretty Bomber. And this.. is her story.

In this ROM hack of Bomberman, players take the role of Pretty Bomber as they blast through 50 randomly-generated levels full of weird creatures, powerful items, and bricks-upon-bricks-upon-bricks. Experience the classic NES game that spawned a massive series from a new perspective: that as the spunky girl character from Super Bomberman 2!

With all new player sprites and some enhanced graphics from future titles, this hack is sure to please those looking for something very familiar, but ever-so-slightly difference.

v1.1.0 Update: Upgraded the enemy graphics and added a new font! (Thanks for the suggestion, Googie!)

Pretty Bomber is Pretty GangstaGoogie2019-09-23Version 1.0.0

I've been hacking Bomberman behind the scenes, so when I saw this hack I hadda try it.

First off, I dig the title screen, it's really good. The player sprite has that cutesy look to it. The weapon upgrade graphics are top notch, I dig the designs of 'em. The fire explosion graphics are neat, I dig the different look. The Bomb graphics animate really good, it's not sloppy.

I just have two small complaints, the font and enemies are still the same. There's plenty of enemies to use in the Gameboy Color Bomberman games that can be used.

Overall this hack is awesome, it's not everyday we get a Bomberman hack, so snag it, play it, love it. I hope to see more hacks from the author in the future, she's on point in the graphics department. :)
