akai bakudan: eXploder Windows game

eXploder is a single player arcade game inspired by the PSX game, Silent Bomber. Along with stylized cell shaded render , the characters design is inspired by the classic Japanese Metal hero shows like Battle Fever J and Kamen Rider Series.

We want to create a single player game that is fun and challenging reminiscent of the older games that will always keep you on your toes.

The player can either plant bombs where they stand, or by launching them using the lock-on reticle. Bombs that are launched at enemies also attach to their target. Bombs can then be detonated at any time using the detonate button. Bombs can either be chained to cover wide areas dealing moderate damage or stack in one location/target for a massive explosion and heavy damage.

The player can also collect reagents to modify the capabilities of his bomb, like creating a lingering Fire on the area of explosion, a Black Hole Bomb that sucks everything(including projectile) and many more.

There are Circuits hidden on the levels that players can use to adjust the Battle Abilities and to adapt to the situation, like increasing the number of Bombs, Your HP and the range of your Lock-on Reticule.

The game is being developed by 2 people, a programmer and an artist, on our free time. Hopefully we can finish the game on a decent timeframe.
