The gameplay is similar to Bombuzal .
Each stage has a red bomb and blue bombs.
The bombs that you blow are on a pre-designed spot but are movable and must be placed in a way that all of them will set off at once.
To make certain that everything will blow you can check the number at the top of the blue bombs which equals the radius the blast will reach.
The stages are chessboard-like with little touches like trees and water for the first island, lava pits for the lava world and so on.
The levels are rotatable with an isometric view (top-down if you hold down L2).
There is also a time limit in which you must do the above.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks The Bombing Islands for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Bombing Islands to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1997.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Bombing Islands, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
