Corn Buster

About

Corn Buster is a puzzle arcade game for the Super Nintendo that pairs a dragon named Globey with a mission to retrieve stolen cornflakes. The gameplay splits between a ball-and-paddle section where you bounce a projectile to clear blocks and a vertical scrolling shooter where you dodge enemies while firing. The shift between these two styles keeps the challenge fresh. Released in 2015 by Piko Interactive, it’s a single-player relic of a bygone era. The game started development in 1994 but was abandoned as SNES interest waned. Engine Software later leaked a ROM, keeping it alive until Piko’s official release. The project was 70-80% complete when halted, leaving some areas unfinished. Its oddball premise and split gameplay make it memorable, though its rough edges show. Still, the mix of mechanics offers a quirky experience for retro fans hunting for forgotten titles.
