The game includes various bonuses (food, precious stones, etc.), keys for opening closed doors, a spyglass that reveals hidden bonuses, logs that can be used in building a bridge or attack.
The game consists of 8 levels, each of which has 4 themes, starting from the “swamp” and ending with the “castle”. [3] .

Sequel
After a successful release, Microïds released a second installment called Nicky Boom 2 (or Nicky II ). In this game you have to fight with Zoldran's sister, avenging the death of her brother, calling for the help of the magic goose.
