For those who prefer not to dive into coding, there’s still plenty you can achieve directly in the Inspector or by swapping out assets. Building your own game has never been faster! Additionally, video tutorials are available to help you get started and showcase how to use the kit to create amazing gameplay experiences.

Player movement

Player movement has been meticulously crafted to feel as fluid and responsive as in the classic originals. Unlike many bomber fan games where movement feels rigid and confined to grid-like pieces, this experience is all about freedom and flow. When your character collides against the corner of a block, they won't frustratingly get stuck, they’ll seamlessly glide away, delivering an smoothness that keeps the action thrilling and dynamic.

Bombs and explosion

The most fundamental power at your disposal: unleash bombs! Drop as many as you can carry and watch as they obliterate everything in their path—enemies, environments, items, and even yourself if you're not careful. Use them strategically to block enemy movements—or risk trapping yourself in the process. Handle with caution! Stay tuned for some game-changing bomb-related power-ups coming your way.

Bomb kick

Unleash chaos with the Kick Bomb power-up! Feel the rush as you gain the power to kick bombs across the battlefield, turning every explosive moment into a strategic advantage. With a single powerful move, reposition bombs at will, either to trap your enemies in deadly explosions or to escape danger just in time. Use your kicks to create deadly traps, confuse opponents, or block key paths, all while staying one step ahead in the game.

Bomb pass

With the Bomb Pass power-up, you gain the ability to walk through bombs without setting them off. This ability allows you to move freely around explosive hazards, avoiding the danger that would normally stop other players. Whether you're trying to escape a tight situation or navigate a minefield, Bomb Pass gives you the freedom to pass right by without fear of being caught in the blast. It’s a practical advantage for strategic movement, allowing you to maneuver through explosive areas with ease.

Death and Respawn

In this game, death is a natural part of the challenge. When your character dies, you are temporarily removed from the action, typically being respawned after a short period. This feature introduces an element of risk and strategy—while you may lose some progress or time, each death serves as a learning opportunity to improve your approach.

Enemies

In this game, death is a natural part of the challenge. When your character dies, you are temporarily removed from the action, typically being respawned after a short period. This feature introduces an element of risk and strategy—while you may lose some progress or time, each death serves as a learning opportunity to improve your approach.

Fire Increase

With the Flame Boost power-up, the explosive power of your bombs increases dramatically! This feature expands the bomb’s explosion radius, making it capable of reaching and destroying enemies or obstacles further away. The larger blast zone allows for more strategic attacks, enabling you to cover more area and catch opponents off guard.

Full Fire Increase

Reach the peak of explosive power with the Maximum Flame power-up! This ultimate enhancement takes your bombs to the next level, expanding their fire range to the largest possible extent. With this power-up, the bomb’s explosion becomes a massive wave of destruction, capable of covering an enormous area and obliterating anything in its path. Enemies, walls, and obstacles all stand no chance as the flames stretch further than ever before.

Getta

The Getta power-up significantly slows down your character, making it a potentially risky and disadvantageous choice. When activated, your movement speed is reduced, which can severely impact your ability to evade attacks, outrun explosions, or navigate the battlefield quickly.

Speed Boot

The Speed Boots power-up increases your movement speed, allowing you to run faster across the map. Once equipped, this boost gives you a significant edge in both offense and defense. Whether you're chasing down opponents, escaping dangerous situations, or simply trying to navigate the battlefield more efficiently, the Speed Boots enhance your mobility, giving you the ability to outmaneuver enemies with ease.

Heart

The Heart power-up grants you the incredible ability to survive a fatal hit, allowing you to endure a damaging blow without dying. When activated, this power-up gives your character a single chance to take a hit that would normally cause death, instead leaving you with a small amount of health. It's a lifesaver in tight situations, giving you the opportunity to recover or escape before your next critical encounter.

Life-up

The Life-Up power-up gives you the incredible ability to resurrect after death. Once you’ve been defeated, this power-up allows you to come back to life, giving you a second chance to continue the fight. It's the ultimate lifeline in tough situations, reviving you at the point where you fell, with full health restored.

Vest

The Vest power-up provides you with temporary immunity for 12 seconds, shielding you from all damage and harmful effects during its duration. This invulnerability grants you the freedom to move through intense battles without fear of taking hits, whether you're surrounded by enemies or caught in an explosion. With the Vest activated, you can aggressively pursue enemies, escape dangerous situations, or strategically position yourself without the risk of being harmed.

More Bomb

The Bomb Plus power-up significantly enhances your explosive potential by increasing the number of bombs you can place on the field at any given time. With this power-up, you can strategically drop more bombs, setting up complex traps or covering a wider area with explosions. As your bombing capabilities expand, you can create devastating chains of explosions, block escape routes, and corner your enemies more effectively.

Push Bomb

The Push Bomb power-up allows you to drop a series of bombs in a straight line, creating a devastating chain of explosions. When activated, this power-up instantiates multiple bombs that are placed in a perfect line, either horizontally or vertically, depending on the situation or player input.

Pierce Bomb

The Piercing Bomb power-up gives your explosives the incredible ability to penetrate multiple blocks, allowing them to pass through walls and obstacles in their path before detonating. This power-up makes your bombs far more strategic, enabling you to attack enemies hiding behind cover or to break through obstacles that would normally block your blasts.

Remote Bomb

The Remote Bomb power-up allows you to place a bomb anywhere, but it only detonates when you choose to trigger it. This gives you full control over the timing of the explosion, making it ideal for setting traps or sneaking in attacks from a distance. You can place the bomb strategically, wait for an opponent to get close or move into position, and then activate the detonation with a press of a button. This feature makes the Remote Bomb highly effective for tactical gameplay, as it allows you to manipulate the battlefield and catch enemies by surprise.

Mountable

When you defeat certain enemies in the game, they drop a special egg, which can be used to obtain a mount. Once you use the egg, you not only gain access to a mount but also unlock its unique set of abilities. These abilities can include enhanced movement speed, special attacks, or other powerful traits that improve your combat effectiveness and exploration capabilities.

Egg Trailing

The tail of eggs brings a unique layer of strategy. The creature carries a trail of eggs with it, always prepared to keep the fight alive. If the mount falls, one of the eggs from its tail hatches, summoning a new creature to your aid. It’s a constant cycle of renewal, ensuring the journey continues no matter how tough the challenge becomes.

Power Glove

The Power Glove is a game-changing power-up that gives you the ability to throw bombs with precision, turning your explosions into long-range weapons. When activated, this power-up allows you to launch your bombs across the screen, throwing them beyond obstacles or directly into enemy territory. But the twist doesn’t stop there—if the bomb is thrown off the edge of the screen, it doesn’t disappear. Instead, the bomb reappears on the opposite side of the map, creating a continuous loop of explosive potential. This mechanic adds a layer of strategy, enabling you to place bombs in hard-to-reach spots or trick your enemies by launching bombs out of view. With the Power Glove, you can control the flow of the game from a distance, setting up traps, breaking through defenses, or creating chaos in areas that were previously difficult to target. Whether for offense or distraction, this power-up turns your bombs into powerful, unexpected threats!

Block Pass

With the ability to pass through blocks, you become almost ghost-like on the battlefield. Barriers that once restricted your movement now fade away, allowing you to glide through the Super with strategic freedom. Each block you phase through brings you one step closer to victory.

Random Block Spawn

The Block Spawn feature is a mechanism that automatically generates random blocks within the game map at the beginning of a new stage or round. This feature enhances the dynamic nature of the game by introducing variability in each level, ensuring that no two rounds are exactly the same. You can specify different types of blocks and what powerups those blocks drop depending on the probability.

Save and Load

Save your game progress. Super Bomber kit features a classic-style savegame and load system.

Timeup

The time tracking feature in a game is a core mechanic used to measure and control the duration of gameplay or individual game rounds. This feature can influence game design by controlling pacing, creating time-based challenges, and enhancing the overall player experience.

Portal and Level clear

After vanquishing every foe in your path, a shimmering portal bursts into existence, beckoning you to step through and claim your triumphant victory, completing the daring journey!
