What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While BOMTILES in its current state can be considered a complete game, our goal is to make BOMTILES a balanced, exciting, competitive experience for players of all skill-levels. To accomplish this, we are looking to work closely with the community, to identify and resolve potential balance issues, as well as design and develop compelling new features and game-modes!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are working diligently to overhaul existing systems, balance current gameplay, as well as design new features and updates based on feedback. We are looking to finalize and distribute the game's "Ranked" mode in an appropriate manner. While we can't promise any final release dates, it can be assured that the game will always be free and available to play while we slowly work on development.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“While the current version is playable in a "Casual" format (Online Matchmaking, Online Friend vs. Friend, and Player vs. Computer), we are looking to add additional formats, including a Local / Hot-Seat Player vs. Player, and a "Ranked" Player vs. Player game-mode, using a dedicated server.

Additionally, we are looking to flesh out the current item selection in the game, and provide more compelling features. For example, we would like to implement a crafting system, that will allow players to combine multiple items into a single, more powerful item with unique effects. We also want to add multi-part / puzzle items, where players need to piece together different items to unlock their full potential.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of BOMTILES is a fully playable game, complete with Player vs. Player, and Player vs. Computer game-types. There are multiple items to be discovered and used during the game, as well as an in-game Item Shop, for players to actively exchange / upgrade items. There are four locations available, to provide variety to each game, as well as a full "Experience" system, where players can level up their accounts simply by playing the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“BOMTILES is free to play! This is represents our first network-capable game, and is only exciting if people are constantly playing. The price for the game will not be increased at launch. Anyone who wishes to support development of BOMTILES can do so by purchasing soon-to-be-released "Supporter Packages", which will contain additional cosmetic items for the in-game avatars. Purchasing this content will not have an effect on game-play or strategy, nor is it required.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“BOMTILES, as a predominantly Player vs. Player strategy game, will be heavily reliant on community feedback in order to achieve balanced, exciting gameplay. This information can only be garnered through hundreds of hours of play, by multiple players, in multiple gameplay scenarios. We are very excited to work with the community to design and implement additional items, features, and game-modes.

Players can submit their suggestions under the "Feedback & Suggestions" section of the Discussions page. We look forward to reading all of your comments, and working with everyone to make BOMTILES as exciting as possible!”

About This Game

BOMTILES is an independently developed, highly competitive, real-time player-versus-player interpretation of the popular game archetype known as “MineSweeper”.

Bombs are scattered throughout the board, and it is up to you to find them! Uncover tiles to discover important clues, and be the first to mark their locations correctly! If you think a tile has a bomb inside, be the first to mark it, and claim its unique powers for yourself! Unearth the wrong tile, and you might just explode!

KEY FEATURES


  • Uncover Clues – Bombs are hidden throughout the Tiles! Click them to uncover clues, and learn where the bombs are hidden! But be careful! If you reveal too much information, your opponent might take the bomb for themselves!
  • Discover Treasure – Successfully marking a bomb allows you to obtain powerful treasure, which you can use to directly affect the outcome of the game! Blast your opponent with Dynamite, or heal yourself with Potion! These items can change the game in an instant!
  • Visit the Item Shop - Not discovering the item you need? Exchange your hard-won treasures for Coins, and buy powerful new treasures mid-game!
  • Single Player & Online Player-vs-Player Formats – Hone your skills in a casual setting, by playing against the computer-driven A.I., or another random player online! Also supports in-game friend invites!
  • New Worlds to Explore – BOMTILES features four core environments to compete in, and the list is constantly expanding!
  • Avatars & Cosmetics – Players can unlock, select and customize their avatars with unique cosmetics! Differentiate yourself on the battlefield!

FUTURE PLANS & DEVELOPMENT


  • Competitive Player-vs-Player Ranking System – Looking for the ultimate challenge? Climb through the ranks and establish yourself as the best competitive BOMTILES player in the world!
  • Additional Environments – New environments are constantly being developed and added to the game!
  • Mid-Game Crafting – Combine multiple treasures mid-game to craft stronger, more powerful items with crazy effects!
  • More Treasure – New treasure keeps the game exciting and interesting! The list is constantly growing!
  • Local Multiplayer / Hot-Seat – Players can locally compete against their friends via a 'Hot-Seat' system!
  • Higher Levels & More Cosmetics – As additional cosmetics are added to the game, the level cap will be raised, giving players more content to unlock!

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPER

BOMTILES is currently undergoing a massive rework. This includes core functionality and systems, as well as updates to gameplay mechanics and interactions. This is a laborious process, and we humbly ask for your patience and understanding during this time.

Thanks for playing, and for your continued support!
