How it works

You also have to watch out and combat other miners until the last one is standing or when the timer runs out. In between the rounds you purchase and equip better weapons, bombs and items. You are scored points for various things including mining minerals and defeating other miners. The winner is the one with the highest score after the final round.

Mine Bombers?


Skitso Productions developed their classic hot seat multiplayer game Mine Bombers in 1995. Gun Bombers is a homage to that game - a modern remake if you will. The original developers have given their blessings to this game.
