Blast Corps/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Awesome Music: Practically the whole soundtrack, although Simian Acres takes the gold. Composer Graeme Norgate has the entire soundtrack available for download for free on his website.
  • Best Level Ever: The Moon.
    • Anything involving the J-Bomb. Even those weird semi-platformer levels.
  • Ear Worm: The level select theme. "Time to get moving!"
  • Game Breaker: With the Z-Button Glitch, you can become the ultimate supervillain, and destroy ANY building the game by simply getting out of your vehicle.
  • Goddamned Bats: There a lots of obstacles such a blocks, indestructible walls, and moments when the carrier gets in your way, and knock some of the vehicles around.
  • The Scrappy: The Backlash for the most part; it's difficult to master and incredibly clumsy to drive around.
    • Creator's Pet: The Backlash is one of the most common vehicles in the game, and a goodly chunk of the solo-vehicle levels are devoted to it. As are a lot of random bonus levels, including the solar system tour. Get used to seeing it, as much as you won't want to.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: Using the dump truck Backlash. Though they do make up for it, more or less, with the moon.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: Compare "Circuitry" by Front Line Assembly to Tempest City.
  • That One Level: Oyster Harbor. It's worlds easier if you use the Z-button trick on the appropriate buildings. With or without the Z-button glitch, Oyster Harbor is filled with Guide Dang Its. Metal blocks that all blow up together, but only if you drop TNT in them middle between two blocks (otherwise just one block blows up and there's not enough time to do that for each block). Little grooves that need to be filled in with blocks, and then (if not using the Z-glitch), the longest TNT run in the game by far. To add insult to injury, the boats near the end give you a signal when they're lined up so that the carrier can get through, but the signal sometimes thinks the boat's placed ok when it's not, which means you might be on the way to deliver that last piece of TNT, and all of a sudden BOOM!, as it crashes into a "well-placed" boat.
    • DIAMOND SAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDS! *shakes fist* ANY level where you have to drive that damned dump truck, in fact.
