Bomber is an open-source indie game with multiplayer support, available for Windows and MacOS, developed using Unreal Engine 5.2. Engage in fast-paced strategic combat with friends or against AI, by placing bombs to eliminate enemies and navigate through obstacles. The objective is to be the last character standing. Players can collect power-ups to set multiple bombs, enlarge explosions, or boost speed. It is crucial to exercise caution to avoid being caught in bomb blasts, including oneโs own. The game boasts procedurally generated levels, ensuring a diverse and unpredictable experience in each play-through. Battle against cunning bots or challenge your friends, and strategize to become the ultimate bomber!

Bots behave like players with no use of the Unreal NavMesh:
- They can find items even around the corners and are able to manage their priorities correctly:
(There are three items: A - the nearest under the bomb explosion, B - the item that is placed around the corner near the enemy character. C - the farthest safe item. The bot does not risk and chooses to move to the C)
- Emergency Priority Change:
(The bot runs for the item, the player otherwise set the bomb. Meanwhile, the bot changes direction and runs off the bomb)
- The bots even survive through in the midst of explosions:
- The editor preview visualization for selected bot automatically updates upon any changes on the map including addition from the Content Browser or drag-and-drop.
Where is :
Green +: a safe crossway.
Red +: crossway which has at least one enemy character.
Yellow F: filtered cells for moving.
