Welcome to Bomb Squad, soldier! You have just joined an elite bomb unit. Here you will learn a lot about the explosive devices - how they work and how to defuse them. After you finish your training you will be sent in the field - you might be among the first responders when an explosive device is found. You will face some of the fearsome bombs the terrorists are able to come up with. Stay vigilant and rely on your training, skills and intelligence. Now it's just you and the crafty device. Watch your moves and remember - if you make a mistake, it might be your last one. Good luck! Bombsquad 3D is our second game in this genre. It is a natural evolution to our first game "Bombsquad - Defuse the Bomb". It is developed in Unity and now offers a full 3D experience. You will enjoy the stunning graphics and great performance on various devices and platforms. The game features carefully crafted training with theory and practical exercises, advanced bomb designs, 4 different defusing tools, bomb interactions such as buttons and lids, 20 levels with progressing complexity, bomb gallery and the ability to share your progress on social media. Happy defusing! Warning: This is not a real bomb disposal course. NEVER try to disarm an explosive device by yourself. If you happen to find one do not touch it and immediately call the authorities!
