About

Dark Maze Bomber

Features
Read full description

A dark labyrinth. Wobbling slimes. Phasing ghosts. Ambushers in the corners. You — and a pocket of bombs. Dark Maze Bomber is a modern retro-arcade dungeon escape. Every maze is procedurally generated, but nothing about it is random — every level rides a hand-tuned difficulty curve. Plant a bomb, blow the wall, find the key, open the gate, get out. Before the monsters get you. FEATURES • 16 main levels plus a procedural maze in every run • 5 bomb types — Normal, TNT, Drill, Remote, Proximity Mine • 8 monster archetypes, each with its own AI — Slimes wobble in, ghosts phase through walls, tanks hunt you • Multiplayer arena (BETA): 2-4 player free-for-all + 2v2 team • Hidden bonus rooms tucked behind sigil chains, altars, and stubborn crates • Permanent upgrades: HP, bomb count, range, speed, shield, ghost, teleport • Game Center: 12 achievements, per-level leaderboards, total score • No ads, no tracking, optional diamond packs (always optional) • Accessibility: reduced-motion mode and colorblind glyphs CONTROLS Joystick on the left thumb, bomb button on the right. Cycle bomb types, drop a beacon to find the exit, use a compass to locate the key. iPhone and iPad supported, portrait and landscape. WHY THIS GAME? Most mobile games bomb you with ads and constant "go premium" nudges. This isn't that. No ads. No trackers. No third-party SDKs. We don't collect your data. The game is free; diamond packs are entirely optional. Ready to descend?
