🔥 Embrace your inner fire and BOOOM into existence!!! 💥

💥 About BooomBite

In BooomBite, the player is the weapon. The act of detonation itself is a double-edged sword—while it can clear enemies and obstacles, it comes at the cost of life and time. The countdown that follows each explosion represents the ticking clock of life, forcing players to make strategic decisions about when and how to explode. The player must embrace their destructive nature, using each detonation wisely to overcome challenges, but at the risk of losing control. The weapon they wield is themselves—every explosion brings them closer to their end, and yet it is essential for survival. The theme of "You Are The Weapon" is about balancing power and consequence, where the player’s ability to destroy is also their greatest vulnerability.

This game was created in 14 days as part of Pirate Software - Game Jam 16, so you might encounter a few bugs and rough edges. It’s been a fun and challenging journey, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to play!

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments—any feedback is welcome! And if you enjoy the game, giving it a good rating ⭐ would mean a lot. Thanks so much for trying it out! 😊
