Bomb Alert

Bomb Alert is a browser game built for short, satisfying sessions - it loads instantly, plays with one thumb, and runs on any mid-range phone. The setup is simple: waves of 2-4 flying items with 16% bombs. Nothing to install, no account, no waiting.

Getting into Bomb Alert

Fruit arcs across the screen; swipe through it and it splits with a satisfying spray of juice. Bombs look almost the same and end the run instantly. Waves grow as your streak builds, and waves of 2-4 flying items with 16% bombs.

Short breaks, long streaks

Nothing here needs a tutorial or a wiki. Controls are one gesture, the goal is one sentence, and the difficulty comes from execution rather than homework. That is exactly what a browser game should be.

How to play

1. Press play - fruit starts flying in from the sides.
2. Swipe across fruit to slice it; chain slices in one drag for combos.
3. Never touch a bomb - it ends the run instantly.
4. Three missed fruits also end the run, so stay sharp.

Where it sits

Swipe to slice flying fruit - but never touch the bombs.

A note on the sticker

Read Bomb Alert as a Arkad Shelf game first and a Arkad Shelf game second. The shape explains how the session will end; the group explains what it will ask of you before that.

It is rated 4.4 out of five in our notes, and the number is held up mostly by how quickly it can be restarted rather than by how clever it is.

Keep it if you play in short bursts. It rewards a second attempt far more than a first, and the second attempt costs nothing but the tap.
