BomberWhale is an online multiplayer platformer game complete with fully networked bombs and players, where you play as a whale cursed with absorbing the nearest bomb that rolls to you. Absorbing bombs is both your best friend and worst enemy. It's your first and foremost weapon -- spit out bombs at other players to cause them to absorb them! But if a bomb blows up in your mouth, it'll hurt a lot more than a cavity. Yeet bombs at your friends to blow them out of this hot potato battle royale!

How To Play with Friends:

1. Get friends

2. One person creates a room by entering their name and preferred room code (this will be the host)

3. All other players join by entering their own names and the same room code

4. Once the host clicks "Begin the Game", the game will start for everyone.

5. Simply refresh the page to play again.


Controls:

WASD to move

-- W to jump, press W twice for a double-jump

Click and hold to charge up your absorbed bomb and throw it in the direction of your cursor.


Tips and Tricks:

- Bombs start glowing red when they're about to explode. Either run away or use the opportunity to bomb someone!

- A player will only die if a bomb explodes inside them. You want to time things so that you throw the bombs close enough to be absorbed, with as little time on the bomb timer as possible.

- Hold your mouse button to charge up the bomb; the longer it's charged, the further it'll fly.

- Bombs can collide with each other too; if you see a bomb coming your way, divert its path by throwing another bomb at it.

This is soo much fun to play with friends. I would love the ability to see who has joined the lobby and maybe even customize your whale. I really hope this game gets more updates! I could easily see this being on Steam.

Thanks! I'm glad you had fun!

i dont understand how to play the only options are name and room name

Hi! Make sure you click the full screen button on the bottom right. Enter the name and room name and click "Join Game." Afterwards, you can click "Start Game."

it doesnt show an option for start game

You can click "Begin the Game" after joining the game. 

but how do i join a game theres 2 boxes one says ur username and room name which i dont have

Oh I see what the problem is now. You can make up a room name such as "Room 1" or "1234" and you then have your friends join this same room name!

I found a way to play it’s cause when you do full screen it doesn’t show the join game option but I did ctrl+ and it made the screen bigger the game is fun btw!

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!
