Stephan Berendsen, President of BBG Entertainment GmbH said: “As the gameplay suggests, Boulder Dash is a hidden gem that a lot of gamers from the 1980s will remember fondly. They might even wonder where it’s been all these years. We felt the same way when we decided to bring it back, and we can’t wait to share this brand new vision for one of gaming’s first big franchises with fans both new and old. Having Peter Liepa, the creator of the original game, on board to make a brand new set of levels, is just icing on the cake.”
