BOMBLE

Made for GMTK Game Jam 2026.

About

There is a bomb on the table. Every time you play a card, the number on the counter decreases.

The player who brings the counter down to zero or below becomes the bomb’s victim.

The counter faces only one seat. If it isn’t facing you, you’ll need to memorize the number and make a guess. You can also use cards to change the direction the bomb is facing.

The game consists of three rounds total. I designed it so that a new element is added in each round to keep things interesting.

The deck — 32 cards in one shared pile
