Introducing BoomBoo

Last updated: 22 Oct 2026

WHAT IS BOOMBOO?

BoomBoo is a fast, cheeky maze game where you blast your way through walls, outsmart wobbly little troublemakers, and race to the exit before the clock runs out.

It’s built for one hand and quick moments. You play in portrait, swipe and tap, and every round lasts three minutes or less. But watch your pockets: bombs are limited, so every blast counts.

THE IDEA

We loved the classic bomb-maze games. The chain reactions, the near misses, and that “one more round” feeling never really gets old.

Those games were made for consoles and keyboards, though, not for the phone in your hand. So we asked ourselves a simple question: what if we rebuilt that fun from the ground up for mobile?

That question shaped everything about BoomBoo:

  1. Tall maps that scroll upward, so the board fits your screen naturally.
  2. Limited bombs, so you think before you blast.
  3. A three-minute timer, so every round stays quick, tense, and never gets stuck.
  4. Simple floating controls that sit out of the way and let the board take centre stage.

The result is familiar enough to pick up in seconds, but different enough to feel brand new.

THE INSPIRATION

BoomBoo grew from two big loves.

The first is classic arcade bomb games. They’re simple rules wrapped around endless strategy.

The second is the golden age of cartoons. Think 1930s animation, with bouncy characters, rubber-hose charm, and toe-tapping jazz. Every world in BoomBoo has its own soundtrack inspired by that era, so you can swing while you blast.

To bring it all together, we gave BoomBoo a tilted, storybook-style view. It looks 3D but plays in crisp 2D. It feels a bit like peeking into a little cartoon world on a tabletop.

PLATFORM & RELEASE

Android first.

BoomBoo launches on Google Play in December 2026

During the test:

  1. It’s free to play
  2. There are no ads and no in-app purchases
  3. You’ll get three worlds to explore: Classic, Cave and Jungle, each with three levels

This is an early version, and that’s the exciting part. What you think will help shape what BoomBoo becomes. A bigger launch with more worlds, more heroes, and more bombs will follow.
