Bomb Sworders
Bombs are (almost) everything in this fast-paced local/online multiplayer game. They're swordable. They're platforms. And, of course, they explode -- taking over the level and blasting opponents. Includes a quick tutorial, library of advanced mechanics, and more strategy than you'd expect.

6 itemsAbout the Game
Bomb Sworders is a multiplayer action platformer where bombs are (almost) everything. Strike bombs with your sword to make them yours. Jump off bombs as improvised platforms. And explode bombs to take over territory and blast opponents. But watch out: they can do the same to you. To win the game, you must eliminate all opponents. But to master the game, you'll need to think fast, move faster, and anticipate every thing.
(* the game does actually support keyboard/mouse to a basic degree... but we highly highly highly recommend playing with a gamepad)
Lots of ways to play
- Online for 2-5 players: multiple people can even join from one device.
- Local for 2-8 players: with all sorts of combinations -- 1v1v1v1, 3v3, 7v1, etc. Plus, you can adjust the handicap setting to level the playing field. (Please note that the game likely only supports up to 4 Xbox controllers depending on your device/setup)
- Local single player: hone your skills with some simple challenges.
Getting started
You'll learn the basics with our Quick Start tutorial. It's fun, focused, and immediately competitive. And you can do it with 1 to 8 players at the same time, so everyone will get up to speed quick.Featuring
- Bomb swording, sword throwing, explosion escaping, playing-in-peril action
- Use items like bombs, dynamite, cannons, and freezers to create explosive combos and outsmart your enemies
- Invent new strategies and find your playstyle
- Super high skill ceiling
- (Advanced) Fancy movement: jumps, bounces, dashes, and recoil. Btw, thanks for reading all this. Ok, here's a sneaky tip: there's no double-jump in the game per se, but you can throw your sword down to get a nice recoil boost
- Devious trickery? Indeed. (set up "trap shots" to lure opponents in)
- Teams! (Or alternatively: solo!)
- Limbo: You’re never truly eliminated... but you do become stuck in place. Explode your way back to life!
- Customize your game: remap controls, adjust items and mode settings, plus the usual stuff
- Lastly, there's an in-game in-depth reference guide featuring videos and explanations of many of the advanced mechanics!
