Bombsquad is a truely incredible game. The developer wrote a Bomberman clone that combines the intensity of an FPS and the depth of a fighting game into one package. The first thing you will notice is the lack of combos. Everything is physics-based and has a dark humor reminicent of TF2. (team fortress 2) The author wrote his own engine to make absolutely everything a joy. The punches are physics-based and knock people backward, the fighting is meaty and intense, and the titular bombs are incredible.Somehow it adds an FPS element to a fighting game. There is a Freeze bomb to stop your opponents and/or shatter them with a punch, a Sticky bomb with a tendancy to cause disturbing ends, Smart bombs that detonate on impact, Mines that explode on contact, and Multi-bombs that cause you to spit out bombs at high speeds. The bombs have fuses and they tend to roll. The subtle power-ups and other things allow for ad-hoc fighting that wouldn't be out of place in Spelunky. It is easy to pick up, easy to teach, satisfying even if you are playing alone, and violent as heck. All in all, a party game without equal, with varying mechanics and bizarre game modes, Iphone control support, servers, and more stuff. If I saw this on someone else's computer, I would look for it on Steam. Just play it, either with friends or single player. You won't be disapointed. This is in the same category as Towerfall, Super Smash Bros, Gang Beasts, and other immortal party games.

Great local multiplayer, hilarious physics, sizzling sound effects and music. Just a great time. Especially love the slo-mo mode. Also, thank you for the Apple Silicon and graphics enhancements!

UPDATE: The latest update is confusing with the new coin system. Not sure yet how it will impact gameplay, but it seems concerning. There’s also been no adjustment made for an exploit that makes it not fun to play online. Players are able to grab you, then keep you in the air while punching and there’s nothing you can do. Especially noticeable in epic mode. This is the most amazing Mac multiplayer game I’ve ever played, and I’ve been buying Mac games since the 90’s. It’s an absolute blast. Even the single player mode is fun. If you plug a laptop into a TV with an HDMI plug, it makes an awesome living room game. But it rarely gets updated, and no new characters or maps in a long time.

This game is amazing! There are over 15 characters to unlock, many gamemodes to play, and just overall explosive awesomeness. The only issue is that there is “Bombsquad Pro”, which is sort of like a pay to win thing you have to buy to do certain things. Other than that, it’s great!
