MaXplosion is a pick up and play platformer that puts the player in the role of Max who wants to escape the clutches of the nefarious M.A.D. (Ministry of All Destruction) organization. Max has the ability to explode at will allowing the player to "bounce" off surfaces and reach far flung locations. Max’s predilection to explode also comes in remarkably handy as an offensive weapon against the M.A.D. scientists and evil minions attempting to thwart his escape.
