Deeplode

Bombs on a grid, and a fuse on every one of them.

Deeplode is a bomb-placing arena game. A grid, blocks that can be blown out of the way, and a fuse on everything you put down. The lineage is Bomberman and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

It is built for two to four people on one machine. That is the setting the genre came from, and still the one it works best in.

Where it stands

In production, which here means it is being built towards a release rather than being tried out. What is not settled is the part that would make it worth choosing over the games it descends from. That goes here when it is a decision rather than a hope.
