I like it – but it's really still just a proof of concept. [Issue #29, p. 22]

While its lifespan and difficulty level could certainly use some stimulation, Blowout Blast is a fun and welcome action game that will please those who like a high-score challenge.

-1 For false advertising, the title made me think that this game would blow, but it is infact okay

A god-tier game. Better than Mario. I don't believe why anyone doesn't like Kirby

This game is pretty cute, it's colorful, the bosses are fun, nice soundtrack, and awful amiibo support, you need a Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Waddle Dee amiibo for just statues of them and they're pretty useless than the other Kirby amiibo compatible games.

Kirby’s Blowout Blast is easily my favourite of the mini games released on the 3DS due to how much more depth is has compared to the others. You’re getting around 5-6 hours of play from your $10 purchase, making it a good way to tide you over until Kirby returns later this year on the 3DS and Switch in 2018.

Kirby’s Blowout Blast is a fun, short distraction that acts as a pseudo-retelling of Kirby’s Dreamland. The levels are short, there aren’t a large variety of bosses, and there is a notable lack of surprises, but replaying levels to earn a platinum level, or even just ace your score, is what makes this game almost worth the $6.99 purchase.

This is a smaller Kirby game, but still quite enjoyable. If you want more Kirby and you're ok with a less traditional approach, this is a good choice.

For around £6.29 or your regional equivalent, Kirby’s Blowout Blast is a surprisingly packed game for the price. Sure it won’t take long to blitz through the five worlds that first time, but the real appeal is in trying to get as high a score as possible and achieve those ranks. If you’re just looking for a short game that’s fun with a slightly novel concept for the platform, then Kirby’s Blowout Blast is certainly a better proposition than the free-to-play Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.

Although it's set in the delightful Kirby universe, there's no denying that Blowout Blast is little more than a bare-bones and unchallenging experience. That being said, if you want to teach a toddler how to play video games then this is a solid entry point.

For the cheaper price, this was a fantastic game full of color and life, even if it's not too long. I was still able to replay it and have fun. The major downfall is the fact that this is some overhead, basic and easy game rather than the sidescroller we all know Kirby to be.

I was disappointed when I got it and tried it out for the first time. But I started to find out this game isn't that bad. The gameplay is flawed but has some fun but other then that the game ranges from awful to okay. A huge disappointment but a bit of fun.
SummaryInhaling foes and blow them away in 3D environments across 25+ stages. Inhale enough enemies and you can launch one huge Blaster Bullet capable of wiping out a troop of Waddle Dees. Now's your chance to battle iconic bosses like Kracko Jr and King Dedede in 3D. Inhaling multiple enemies to launch Blaster Bullets is a great way to pump up... Read More
