This article is about bombs from Bomba. For bombs from other games, please see Bomb.

Bombs are weapons in the game Bomba.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Bombs seem to have influenced the naming of Bomba, as bombs are used frequently. There are four types of bombs able to be used by the player, and one bomb which is a hazard. Bombs have an orange outline and resemble a head of a creature, and will explode eventually after being dropped (some), bombs also float to the surface of water and are needed for destroying moss. All bombs are spawned from a grey spawner. When a bomb is taken away from it, the bomb will still be seen on the spawner, only appearing transparent and becoming solid when the taken bomb explodes.

An explosion produced by a bomb is strong enough to destroy enemies and moss, and as will kill Bomba itself. When a bomb is dropped, it will fall to the ground and the player will have to go and pick up another bomb if they need to use another of the bomb, save for the bombs encountered on level one, which when picked up allow the player to drop three before having to go and pick up another bomb. Bombs will not explode when contact is made with enemies or moss, rather, a few seconds must be waited before the bomb explodes.

Due to the short time limit for the bomb, the player has to move quickly to not be be caught in the explosion. In levels the Time Bomb appears, the player has to usually move quickly through tunnels which may cause them to hit walls.
