No Sleep Till Beta


We’ve been wrapping up Alpha for the month of September with just a few additions. Several more are to come, but here is what’s been implemented in convenient bullet-point fashion!

  • New art for Platform 5, with some new level design changes.

  • Trains on Platform 5 will collide with players and deal damage.

  • Main platforms will flash brighter when landed on, and bounce a little bit too.

  • Additional FX added to explosions, making explosions more explosiony.

  • Level thumbnails updated.

  • Moon Base Bravo art updated.

  • Tweaks to bomb physics done for the meantime.

  • Pause menu updated

  • Camera zooms in to victorious player at the end of a round.

As you can see, most of these are just aesthetic polish, which is good! That means that we’re done with major mechanical adjustments to Bombasm. Next month we’ll be adding parallax camera, auto-patching for Beta, minor design and technical tweaks, and possibly dynamic 2D lighting (maybe).

The new Beta version will be on sale at a discount by the end of October on the gamejolt marketplace and itch.io.

Cheers governor,

EDIT: Artist Joshua Gong whipped up some feisty new art for Beta. Real cool, but hidden to your eyes for now ;)

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Alone Together....

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
