Description
The classic couch competitive gameplay of games like "Bomberman" brought into the modern era. Place bombs, get out of the way, destroy your friends, collect powerups, 'splode your way to victory in a variety of game modes adapted for smooth multiplayer with virtually unlimited local players! Now also on PlayStation 4, Splody is bringing a new set of players into its community.
History
With no original Bomberman US PC release this millennium, and only a couple low quality Bomberman-like games on Steam, players are excited for Splody. Local multiplayer games for 8 or more people is a personal passion of Dashing Strike founder Jimb Esser, and there is a significant lack of these out there. Splody started as an open-source, free, local multiplayer game ("BBE", primarily created by Jimb, a decade ago), and over the past years has been expanded with online multiplayer and polished to professional quality.

- Level editor, share custom levels

- Even in the "classic" game mode, with post-mortem "ghost bombers," players can affect the game after they are defeated, so no one gets bored between matches
- ESRB: EVERYONE 10+ - Fantasy Violence / Users Interact
