This weird French game stars a team of dong cannons and is essentially a Bomberman-like maze chase, but it operates on some bizarre internal rules that aren’t explained in-game and that I can’t entirely decipher.
You start on each level with a woman covered up in a bed, surrounded by blocks and roaming enemies, and a salacious pic covered up in the background. The goal appears to be to break the blocks, but there’s some sort of order to it (despite them being identical)? You also have to build up your Coom Power by picking up items, which might impact whether or not you can break blocks … I really can’t tell.
After you’ve broken all the blocks, you flip some flag (again not sure how) and the gal pulls the bedsheets down to invite you in … only temporarily, though, and I’m also not clear on what actually lets you hop in with her. I thought maybe you had to pick up a condom first, but that didn’t seem to do it. And not only does the nudie pic you uncover in the background appear to be a red herring, it also doesn’t appear to change from level to level!
It’s a strange and sloppy game, not at all helped by having some of the most annoying marchy music ever composed and having virtually no real erotic content beyond one pic and a goofy animation of the dildo cannon briefly ravaging the girl to conclude the level. If this somehow tickles your fancy there are reportedly 50 levels of this in total, however, and someone actually enjoyed it enough to create a fan-made “extra levels” pack for the Amiga version.
