Light the fuse. Clear the screen. Save the red one for last. i-Bomb is a single-screen arcade platformer across twelve hand-painted worlds — desert ruins, clockwork cities, storm-lashed peaks, neon skylines, orbital stations and a haunted finale. ONE SCREEN, ONE BREATH Every stage fits on a single screen and is packed with bombs. Sweep them up, keep your chain alive for bigger scores, and finish on the i-Bomb — the red one — for the biggest payoff. MOVEMENT WITH TEETH Jump. Jump again in mid-air. Then hold, and fly. Air-brake to hover on the spot, ride the apex for extra speed, and thread gaps that look impossible right up until they aren't. TWO WAYS TO PLAY CLASSIC — twelve single-screen stages in one continuous run. ARCADE — a wider, scrolling tour with its own playlist. STAGE SELECT — go back to any world you like. BUILT FOR THUMBS A floating analogue stick appears wherever your thumb lands, so there is never a button to hunt for in mid-flight. Full controller support as well, and the on-screen controls step aside the moment you pick up a pad. TRY IT PROPERLY FIRST Three hours of Classic play, free, with every one of the twelve worlds selectable from the start. One purchase unlocks the whole game for good: unlimited Classic runs, Arcade mode and Stage Select. No ads. No timers between lives. No currency, no energy, nothing else to buy.
