Sorting the games published by the label CZ in Argentina, I stumbled into this title named Boum. It cough my attention because is the only title that has an author name and a copyright message in the inlay.
After the recovery, it is clear the game is from Argentina. Is not on the ZXDB/WOS by this name, so, chances are this is a MIA.
Title: BOUM
Original Release Year: 1985
Author: Eric A. Parisi
Machine: ZX Spectrum 48k
Message Language: Spanish
Genre: Arcade Game: Action
Maximum Players: 1
I'm still unsure about the publisher. The CZ logo is the same Czerweny used for the CZ Spectrum Plus, a local enhanced clone, so, the game seems to be part of the launch campaign, but I don't have any confirmation about that.

Looks like it's based on an LCD hand-held game, though I can't remember the name.
Apart from the tank at the bottom, all the falling objects are done by switching attributes on and off.

It's Plane and Tank Battle from various manufacturers. I presume anyone could buy the core and re-package it; even Tandy had a go. You had to get your tank over a bridge from a cave to a fort, avoiding a constant rain of bombs, and allowing for a randomly operating drawbridge.

I think the basic concept was first developed by Nintendo with a Game & Watch called 'Helmet'. Can't shoot in that game though, going to download and try this out!
