Hi All! My game 'BombSquad' has just gone live at a launch sale price of $4.99. I've been working on it in my free time for years and I'd love to hear what people think. PM me if you'd like a promo-code for testing it out. It shines most in competitive multiplayer modes, but here's an example of its 'Onslaught' co-op mode with one player: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel BombSquad Eric Froemling Grab some friends, your Mac, a few gamepads or iPhones, and get your party-game on!

Challenge your friends or the computer to a plethora of mini-games including Capture-the-Flag, King-of-the-Hill, Bomber-Hockey, and of course Epic-Slow-Motion-Elimination. Laugh gleefully as you land a perfectly-thrown sticky-bomb squarely on an opponent's face, freeze them with an ice bomb and shatter them to bits with a punch, or just pick them up and toss them off a nearby cliff. BombSquad's rag doll physics based gameplay ensures that every confrontation leads to a unique (and often hilarious) outcome. Up to 8 players can get in on the action on a single Mac through BombSquad's support of keyboards, USB gamepads, Wiimotes, PS3 controllers, and XBox 360 controllers. You can even use iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads as controllers via 'BombSquad Remote', a free app available on the iOS App Store. Bombs Away! Check out www.froemling.net/bombsquad for gameplay videos and further info.

The game is continuously fun with solid graphics, sound, and most of all gameplay. The ability to use the xbox or PS3 controllers is a huge plus and makes the game much easier to play. For all that are looking for a fun and exciting game, look no further, Bomb Squad Rocks! madmud101 Well-Known Member Dec 30, 2009 1,068 0 0 #3 madmud101, Oct 24, 2011 Looks hilarious! efroemling Member Oct 24, 2011 5 0 0 San Francisco http://www.froemling.net #4 efroemling, Oct 25, 2011 Halloween Sale Quick heads-up that I'm dropping BombSquad's price to $1.99 as a halloween sale.. Enjoy! qwqwaa Member Sep 22, 2011 14 0 0 #5 qwqwaa, Oct 26, 2011 I wanna MAC..... sam the lion Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2009 1,456 0 36 Italy #6 sam the lion, Nov 5, 2011 it's on 0.99$ sale... I bought the game and it's definitely great! To be honest, I thought that besides local it also had internet multiplayer. This would really make the game a must-have. efroemling Member Oct 24, 2011 5 0 0 San Francisco http://www.froemling.net #7 efroemling, Nov 5, 2011 Midway through development I had to make one of those tough decisions about whether to spend my time getting internet multiplayer working or trying to make local multiplayer as accessible as possible (wiimote, iPhone, ps3 support, etc). I wound up going with the latter, but hopefully I can revisit the internet option at some point... mehware Well-Known Member Nov 22, 2008 539 1 0 http://www.mehware.com #8 mehware, Nov 6, 2011 from another Developer the art and gameplay is top notch. What engine did you make BombSquad in efroemling? Unity or roll your own? - Matt efroemling Member Oct 24, 2011 5 0 0 San Francisco http://www.froemling.net #9 efroemling, Nov 6, 2011 Thanks!; I rolled my own engine for BombSquad; partly because because I started it as a hobby a long time ago and Unity wasn't available at the time. If I were starting over today I'd definitely take a close look at Unity or other engines.. -Eric Jomskylark Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2009 50 0 0 #10 Jomskylark, Nov 16, 2011 BombSquad is great! Just played it with my family and it was a blast. Although I'd love to see Internet multiplayer, you made the right call with accessibility for local multiplayer. We were able to hook up several wii-motes and a gamepad, which was very nice. Keep up the great work!
