Buy Now$2.00 USD or more

A game for Panic's Playdate console.

Help the 'Bomber Panda' save his species from extinction by... blowing stuff up!

This fun and challenging game has 31 levels of increasing difficulty for you to blast through.

Collect power-ups to increase your bomb capacity, explosion size and walking speed.

Avoid or blast the aggressive enemies while you try to find the exit.

The game does not utilize the Playdate's crank, so if you don't have your Playdate console yet, you can still easily play it on your desktop PC using the Playdate simulator available from the Playdate website.

Hello, love the game! Not sure of a better way to reach out but I accidentally re-bought this game on the catalog and playdate won't refund it since it was my own mistake. Just curious if a refund here was at all possible or if you'd be willing. Either way appreciate it and will definitely keep enjoying and recommending this game!

Hi, thanks for buying and playing the game (twice!!!)

I don't think there is any way for me to issue a refund. I've had a look, and I don't think it is possible.

I would absolutely be willing to refund you if I could.

Sorry about that.

I have played this game daily since I downloaded it, have not reached the end, but that's okay, love playing it! I just wish there was a way to kill the spinner!!

Rob Seto-Patchett1 year ago

That's great. I'm really glad you've found it so enjoyable.

Yeah, the spinning blades are tricky. But I'm sure you'll get past them if you stick with it.

VeRn1 year ago

Yeah I know patience is the key, but to blow them up would be satisfying, LOL

Iv been having a load of fun with this one. Not finished it yet but i love bomberman and puzzles

I loved Bomberman as a kid back in the nineties and this single player Bomberman experience feels better than most of the single player modes from the originals. Panda rules!

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago(+1)

Hearing that makes me really happy.

Thanks a lot.

Totally agree with davetest. Of the 20 apps I have installed, this is definitely the one I keep coming back to. Great game.

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago

That's really awesome to hear.

Thank you.

dfbills2 years ago

Any chance we’ll see more levels as more people start receiving their hardware?

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago(+1)

It's not something I planned to do, because I just considered the game complete.

But I could do.

I'm trying to concentrate on my next game at the moment, but perhaps later I'll update the game with an extra set of "DLC" style levels. (For free of course.)

dfbills2 years ago

Would love to collaborate if you’d be interested. And I think a DLC would be worth a payment, if only optional. Cheers!

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago

Hi,

I'm not planning to make any large updates to Bomber Panda for a while.

I do have a level creation tool for it though.

I can send it to you if you'd like to try it out.

I’m in love with this game! When I got my Playdate I sideloaded about 30 games, and this is the one I keep coming back to. Currently grinding level 29. Keep up the great work!

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago

Really glad to hear that you like the game so much.

Besspac2 years ago

30 games? Where

VoxelTrots2 years ago

Well, all the games here under the playdate tag, and this list.

Big thanks man

KingDrool2 years ago(+1)

Great update! FYI: The file still says 1.0 when it's on the Playdate. But I confirmed that the updates you made are there, so it is actually 1.2.

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago

Thanks.

Yeah, I should update that pdxfile.

I seem to have a problem with that.

Thanks for letting me know.

GabKremo2 years ago

As per the previous comment, it seems that you forgot to make a proper pdxinfo file. Currently it's like this:

name=Template
author=You, Inc.
description=A basic game template.
bundleID=com.yourcompany.TemplateGame
version=1.0
buildNumber=100
imagePath=SystemAssets
pdxversion=10500
buildtime=703299283

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago (1 edit)

I thought I did the pdxinfo file.

I'll address that soon.

Thanks.

EDIT: Done.

Mr. Buckle2 years ago

It plays and looks great on console! But just a heads up, it registers as "Template" when sideloading on site.

Have only played the first several levels, but excited to dive deeper into it!

Rob Seto-Patchett2 years ago

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for the feedback.

I updated the downloadable file.

Mr. Buckle2 years ago

Can confirm it fixed the naming issue, nice turnaround!
