Boomsqueak by Zomk

made by Zomk for Ludum Dare 54 (COMPO)

Boomsqueak is a bomberman inspired action game where the player can use bombs to destroy all tiles and the players standing on them >:)

The cheese is not big enough for the four of us - and so the fight began. Bomb after bomb, until one mouse wins three rounds. Place bombs to destroy tiles. Tiles will also decay over time, the faster for tiles that a player stands on.

You can play Boomsqueak either alone or against a friend in local co-op.

Controls: - Player1: - Move with WASD - Place bomb with space - Player2: - Move with arrow keys - Place bomb with enter

Small Note: - The game may take a little longer to load the first time you start the game scene in the web version. - I also gave the player the option to change the radius of the bombs and the number of bombs the player can spawn in the additional settings, which can be accessed at the bottom of the main menu. The game is designed around the default settings, but the optional parameters are still fun to play with.

Frantic, but fun! Reminds me just a smidge of Rodent's Revenge (I'm showing my age there). And the music is appealingly weird. I could see this being quite engaging as a multiplayer game.

Had fun playing this with my partner! Really brings me back to when I was playing Bomberman as a kid!

Good bomberman like game! Maybe I feel at the end you interact more with random explossions than with the other players, but idea is good! :)

I had a great time playing this game! Towards the end, it felt more like trying to just stall out remaining players, but it was an incredible game! Great job!

Really cool reverse Bomberman game, AI felt like they were "thinking". Great aesthetics!

I really liked that the "cheese bombs" are both for directly attacking and for area control, nice use of the theme! The art was simple but lovely, the music gave everything a frantic touch. The move sound was a bit repetitive and noisy for me, had to turn down the volume. ;) The AI was surprisingly challenging! There seems to be a glitch that sometimes the AI does not move when a round starts. Good on you that you added local multiplayer! All in all well done! 💜

Extremely fun and addictive. The idea itself is very creative as well. My only issue would be that it is a little too noisy.

Big fan of mice and explosives, this was really cute and cool. Inspired by a classic!

Fun game. The music is a little bit weird but goes well with the game, the art is nice.
Good game overall!

Could you detail a bit how is the ai made ?

Played this with my partner and we had a good time. Noticed that the left arrow moves BOTH players left :laughing: Well done!
