The Bomb Split

About this game

The Bomb Split is a "split album" of 2 retro-styled platformers: Explo and Grenadier. Each game showcases a different game designer's twist on a shared mechanic: throwing bombs to propel yourself. Both games feature challenging screens with frequent checkpoints, in the tradition of precision platformers like VVVVVV or Celeste.

 

 

SIDE A: Explo

Explode yourself to explore a mysterious lost world of secrets and strange artifacts. Can you help little Deto find his way home? Master the surprising depth of Deto's responsive controls to conquer hundreds of screens, four challenging dungeons, and dozens of twisted secrets.

Featuring original music by SplitSuns.

 

 

SIDE B: Grenadier

With a lone grenade, the Grenadier must navigate this strange world filled with doors, danger, challenges, and transformations.
