Press reviews: “That being said, I did have a lot of fun with Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary, and while this is only a preview version, it’s already clear that it’s near final. It plays incredibly smoothly, and with some good energy that makes it very moreish. Every time I sat down to play, I ended up playing for far longer than I intended to, and I think this one is going to turn some heads on its full release.” Digitally Downloaded “Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary promises to be a celebratory edition that honors its glorious past while looking to the future with the right ambition. The love and respect for the original material are palpable in every detail, from the faithful reproduction of the classic levels to the hiring of an undisputed master like Chris Hülsbeck for the soundtrack, while the plethora of new features introduced promise to add unprecedented depth (it's really the case to say) and longevity to the game, guaranteeing hours and hours of fun.
