Bombit is a 5-to-Win, match-based Pong and Hot Potato hybrid game.  Win a round by being the last survivor standing.

Harness your magnetic orbit to pull in and throw out loose bombs! Avoid having the bomb blow up on you or hitting your core.

Bombs have integrity, and when it runs out, it explodes! As you hold in a bomb, it looses integrity, so be wary of holding too long onto bombs!

This game was made for the Melon Jam 2024.

NOTE:

The game is in early alpha, and it may have bugs (Computer ones!) and that's ok. Please feel free to comment if you encounter any game-breaking bugs.  

Known Bugs/Features:

If you hold the bomb and ram into the enemies core, this will KO them for that round, but it will also KO you.

Sometimes the CPU will hold the bomb away from the player and into a wall, and this can sometimes cause the bomb to explode on the CPU.

Sometimes the bomb is shy. (Wait it out, or refresh the page if the bomb fails to spawn.)

CONTROLS:

WASD - Move    Shift - Dash
Hold/Release Spacebar - Grab/Throw
Mouse Cursor - Direction of Throw
ESC - PAUSE

Jam Theme Relation:

Our game uses the magnetic orbits of the player, who is a star, to pull-in and throw-out bombs while another player/CPU uses their own magnetic orbit to do the same. This push and pull is the relation to the shape of gravitational wave polarities. 

In addition, our art direction has a dotted line that shows the orbit, and when holding a bomb, is visually akin to how a polar covalent bond between atoms are represented in scientific diagrams.
