About This Project

Welcome to Manbomber, an explosive homage to the old-time multiplayer classic made with PICO-8! It was developed together with a fellow student and friend Dominik Leiser. In this game, your goal is to drop bombs on the battlefield to eliminate all other players in time and be the last manbomber standing. The game can be played with up to 4 players battling each other. While in the 2-player mode, both players can use the same keyboard to control their manbomber, a controller for each player is required for all other modes. Any Controller which can be connected to your device will do! So grab a couple of friends, choose one of the three battlefields and blast off!

​

Since its release in January 2021 Manbomber was played over 2000 times and front-paged on itch.io for several days.
