Eight-player couch chaos built from short fuses, springy physics, and the certainty that everyone will fall off the map.
That One Thing
Grabbing an opponent by the collar on a narrow suspension bridge, spinning around to build momentum, and hurling them into a floating cluster of landmines while screaming in laughter.
BombSquad is an explosive local and online party brawler designed for pure social hilarity. Created by Eric Froemling, the game pits up to eight players against each other across a variety of action-packed mini-games where punches, throws, and cleverly timed explosives reign supreme.
The game's greatest strength is its claymation-style visual aesthetic combined with punchy ragdoll physics. Characters stumble, stagger, and careen across floating platforms, rope bridges, and ice rinks. A wide variety of bomb types—from sticky bombs and ice bombs to landmines and impact explosives—turns every arena into an unpredictable chain reaction of comedic disaster.
Game modes span competitive and cooperative challenges: classic Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Keep Away, and even Bomber Hockey and Football. Up to eight players can connect simultaneously using USB gamepads, keyboards, or by downloading the free BombSquad Remote companion app on iOS and Android phones to use them as wireless controllers.
BombSquad is approachable for non-gamers within thirty seconds, yet offers enough physics mastery and comedic timing to keep friend groups laughing for hours.
BombSquad is the ultimate game-night crowd-pleaser. With instant cross-platform controller support (even letting friends use their phones as gamepads), punchy ragdoll slapstick, and zero friction to jump into 8-player matches, it turns any living room into an explosion of laughter.
