Domo kun’s angry smash fest

There are many games with good guys in the main role, there are many with bad guys. This one is the second case. And everything is packed in beatiful retro graphic with 8bit-like music.

Before many years I had a little black box called ZX Spectrum. Maybe that’s why I like retro games and I have to say, that Domo kun is one of the best of them i saw in my browser. The best thing about game is, that you doesn’t do only one action, but it’s somethnig like few minigames.

You fly as in shoot-em-up games, you fight as in Barbarian, you do many other actions. Every one of them is fun (even if it’s pretty hard) and looks great. Plus music is fantastic, so you’ll maybe even close your MP3’s;oD

Sounds fun? Play this game here.
