Dig through the rock, plant the charge, get clear. The last miner standing wins the round. Between rounds there is a shop, and the money for it comes out of the ground.
The mobile version: touch controls, the same match as on desktop.
Underboom is a top-down 2D game: a grid of soil and rock, a pickaxe, rivals, and more than forty kinds of explosives and gear. A round lasts until only one miner is left alive. Treasure dug out of the rock becomes coins, and coins become bombs, mines, rockets, a flamethrower and armour for the next round. Fight bots, friends at one keyboard, over your local network or across the internet.
Rock of varying hardness, treasure, medkits, caves and teleports. Bombs tear open the ground — a path for you or a trap for your rival.
Small and heavy bombs, dynamite, mines and tripwires, rockets, a mole, cluster bombs, barrels of fire and acid, napalm, a flamethrower, cryo charges, armour and better pickaxes.
A burning barrel spills fire through every cavity, stockpiles chain-detonate, gas and ice spread, darkness hides the map — every round plays out differently.
From rookie to veteran: they shop, dig for treasure, hunt and dodge. Good sparring while your friends are offline.
Your own maps with start points, treasure and items. Generated and hand-drawn maps play online exactly like the built-in ones.
On Android: touch controls and the same online world. On desktop: keyboard, gamepads, and two players at one keyboard.
