10 itemsAbout the Game
Gnomber is a rogue-like action game, where you use different bombs to blow away your enemies and combine them with perks to become overpowered. The game physics allow you to knock enemies into each other or walls, use the knockback from your explosions to throw projectiles and eliminate enemies in creative ways. Place the bombs strategically, kite your enemies, lead them into your explosions, decide which bombs and perks to pick based on the enemies' weaknesses and survive the onslaught.
In the gif above, the Mist Bomb is combined with a healing explosion perk to heal the player multiple times on each explosion. And the multiplying Crystal Bomb is combined with a perk that creates spinning orbs on each explosion. Be careful which perks you choose, as some of them may improve one bomb, but weaken another one.
