BoomBot - Time Waster

Some time wasters seems sort of dumb when written out, but when you play them, you realize how fun they are. This one might be one of those. BoomBot is a game where you place bombs to try to blast your robot character to the goal door on each level. While it sounds simple, and it starts out simple enough, soon enough the levels start to get pretty challenging. You'll have to interact with various materials and objects, such as rubber blocks, boxes, and even explosive things like oil barrels and boxes of TNT, each of which have their own unique properties.
When placing your bomb, you have full control over where it goes, as well as how strong the blast is. To control the blast strength, hold down your mouse button and the bomb will get bigger and smaller, corresponding to the size of the blast. The challenge comes when you're trying to time a blast for a specific moment, but need it to be a specific size blast. For me, at least, I could never seem to time things so that my blast size was correct at the moment I needed it. But that's the fun of it, right?
