PowerofBombs

The core loop is pure arcade tension. You plant bombs that explode after a short fuse in a cross-shaped blast, using them to destroy obstacles, open new routes, and catch enemies in the explosion. Power-ups scattered through each level extend your blast radius, let you carry more bombs at once, or boost your speed — so a careful run snowballs into spectacular chain detonations. Hand-crafted levels escalate in complexity, and challenging boss fights cap off stages with enemies that demand specific tactics. A local multiplayer mode turns the same maze into a friendly battlefield where the last bomber standing wins.

Power of Bombs is currently in development and is being built for web and PC. It is not yet publicly available — follow Buried Games and our devlog to be the first to know when a playable build or release date is announced.

Power of Bombs is our love letter to the bomber arcade genre that defined countless childhood game sessions. Choosing Unreal Engine let us push the visual fidelity and effects — every detonation should feel weighty and satisfying — while preserving the instantly readable, grid-based tactics that make the genre endlessly replayable. The hardest design work is balance: tuning blast timing, enemy behaviour, and power-up pacing so that levels stay fair but always one mistimed bomb away from chaos.
