Release & Industry Impact

☆★ Featured on the itch.io front page! Thank you, everyone! ★☆

Disclaimer that right now, the online is still pretty buggy. (It was coded in a week!) We’ll iron out some stuff asap so if you’re experiencing any issues, that’s on us. 🙁 Sorry!

Note that while Bombduders does have online play, we are currently limited by Photon’s Cloud Server limitation of 20 concurrent players at once. This may change at a later date but if you are experiencing difficulties connecting to matches, this is likely the reason.

Character Skills

Dr. Tracksuit

[Passive] Chase That High

After every goal he scores, Dr. Tracksuit gains a SPEED burst for 10 seconds.

[EX] Sticky Fingaz

Throws a disc that sticks to walls. Questionable.

[Special] Let It “Snow”

Dr. Tracksuit covers the court in “snow”, greatly slowing the opponent’s SPEED.

V-Bomb

[Passive] V-Bomb ANGRY

V-Bomb hates passive play! Extended volleys increase V-Bomb’s POWER while

decreasing his SPEED. This effect may stack up to 5 times and resets after a point is scored.

[EX] V-Bomb SMASH

V-Bomb hurls the disc with all his strength! (Increased throw speed and knockback)

[Special] V-Bomb BLOCK

V-Bomb summons his trusty shield to help bolster his defenses. Lasts for 1 hit.

Dirty Dan Ryckert

[Passive] Sore Loser

For every point scored against him, Dirty Dan Ryckert permanently gains a small amount of POWER and SPEED.

[EX] High Stakes

Dirty Dan rigs the disc to be worth +1 bonus point the next time points are scored by either player.

[Special] ‘MURICA

Dirty Dan uses his patriotism as a weapon as he obscures the court while temporarily blocking ability use.

Solid Scanlon

[Passive] Survivalist

Solid Scanlon builds a little meter with every successful catch.

[EX] Book

Solid Scanlon loves literature, and so should you! A “book” is lobbed onto the court, stunning anybody who touches it for 1 second. (Lasts for 20 seconds)

[Special] OctoCamo

This is a sneaking mission! Solid Scanlon equips his disc with the latest in stealth technology, allowing it to be completely invisible for a brief amount of time.
