This version expands the original version with many improvements, new modes and music. On writing this review I have played through the majority of the classic mode and briefly tried out most of the modes. There has been clearly a lot of time and love put into this game as it is highly polished and well featured. The graphics are very nice - in particular I like the animated backgrounds that are very colourful.The game begins with a tutorial introducing you to the basic mechanics and teaching you the basics. The tutorial gives you just enough information to allow you to solve any puzzle given enough time but it is up to you to figure out further tricks to cut down the time. As you play the game introduces new bomb types that very the rules and keep things fresh forcing you to take different approaches. The only type I didn't like was the Oxidation which I felt was just plain unfair as it essentially acted as an unfairly short timer until you essentially start again leading me to frequently guess the last couple of pistons due to lack of time making passing those levels down to sheer dumb luck. The campaign also features "bosses" in the form of nuke bombs which are very tense and put you on edge. So far very enjoyable!The game also features a level editor allowing creation and sharing of custom levels with a high level of customisation allowing selection of bomb types, layout, and other bomb parameters. It also feature an arcade style mode with the aim to get a high score, a puzzle mode with fixed beams, an endurance mode with a giant bomb, and even a pretend coop mode. These provide an excellent diversion from the main campaign and further replay value when you have become familiar with the game play.Overall it is a highly enjoyable game with solid mechanics and well worth playing. I recommend to anyone who enjoys fast paced puzzle games who don't mind being under pressure from a timer.. I played the original free version a long time ago on Yoyo games and was an excellent game.
