Description
The gems from the kingdom of the Round Happy Faces people have been stolen by their enemies. They’re now scattered in the lands of the Death’s Heads tribe, and guarded 24/7. Since explosives are the only weapon that can be used against the Death’s Heads, you’ve been chosen to go to hostile territory and get as many gems back as possible, for your Round Happy Face’s nickname is Ace of Dynamites. And if you can blow some of those skull looking guys up along the way, it’s even better!
History
This game is a remake of an old action title created in 1991 for the Amstrad CPC 6128 8 bit computer, that never got published. Of course a lot of changes were made in order to fit the new platforms, and today's consumers (the original game was much faster and harder). More information about this story can be found in the Additional Links below.

- 3 levels of difficulty.

- "Like a crazy mash-up between Bomberman and a sliding block game, “Ace of Dynamites” adds the one thing sliding block puzzle games were missing: tonnes of explosions."
- , Writings of Mass Deduction - "Guide your disembodied head around mazes pushing dynamite with your face to blow up skulls blocking your paths. With forced direction arrows and some truly tricky puzzles, this has a lot more depth than it lets on, keeping you hooked for ages. All in all, it’s ace. End of review. Tied it up quite nicely."
