Thank's for list Rwolf, but i don't find anything.
I don't know why, but i remember that we call this game "pursuit" but i am french so it's "poursuite". Whith translation it's can be some word like track/tracking/chase/follow.....

It might be one of the
Dynablaster/Bomberman variants?
The original
Bomberman or
Super Bomberman look similar, but those would be more aimed at blowing up the bombs I think.

I think the game is more similar of x-fire than bomberman/bomberblast. Because on the game the character must avoid ball/boulder that cross corridors

Yes, I know
X-fire, but there is no group of games like it; it is a very simple kids game.
The author has not made any other games what I could find, and while there are games with similar layout like
X-fighter, normally they are more agressive than just avoiding danger, or have more complex layouts.
This makes me wonder: was the image you describe the *only* layout of the game map? I could imagine something like this as part of an Indiana Jones movie-inspired game, with Indiana being chased by big rolling boulders while searching for treasure; but it would make more sense to have more maps and traps like in the movies.

Rwolf,
It's possible that the game has a link with indiana jones, I also noticed it during my research too. For the other levels I don't have much memories, but logically their configurations were different, I especially remember that the dominant color changed from one level to another. Green for the first level, yellow for the second and purple for the third I believe...
