BYOND's First Fully Functional 4.0 Game.
In order to play you must have BYOND 4.0 build 14

What is Blubomb: Blubomb is a huge mining company that was formed a couple of years before the Great Depression of 2240. As times worsen the mining company split into two groups, the Zykeys and the Floupors.

Blubomb is my latest creation and I am proud to announce that it is ready for it's first public test. Blubomb is a game where you must mine the stone/brick in hopes to find bronze, silver, gold, and diamond. Each material is worth a different amount of Orcales(money) and points for your team.

1 Bronze is worth 1 point
1 Silver is worth 2 points
1 Gold is worth 3 points
1 Diamond is worth 5 points

When you first join Blubomb you will be greeted with a Information guide that tells you about the game's story, how to play, and the Terms of Service Agreement. Make sure you read how to play either here, on the hub, or in game. Once a game has started or you start one you will need to select what team and class you will wish to play on. Remember that each class has it's advantages and disadvantages so choose wisley. After you have selected what team and class you wish to play on you will then enter the game.

Game Play and More Information:
*Arrow keys to move
*On the number pad use Ins (0) and Del(.) to strafe

When you join the game you are in your teams base, starting from left to right, the first machine is the Oxygen Hood, here you can refill all your lost oxygen. Next is the Drop Zone, once you collect all the material that you want you can bump into the tube to deliever and get you Orcales and team points here. Now the last machine is the Buy Station, here you will use your good earned Orcales you got from returning material to buy items to improver your character. As of right now there are only a few items, but I have ideas such as C4s, Mines (done but buggy, not in this release), Vehicles, and more.

Point of the Game:
The point of the game is to be the first team to collect 2000 points.

Extra Notes:
*Each class has a limit on how much material that they can hold.
*Return your material to the opposite base to get two times as many points and Orcales.
*If you die you will lose all your material and items.
*Just bump into the stone/brick to dig.
*Bump to attack.
*It is best that you read this help guide instead of the ingame or hub one.

I will be hosting for a few hours to get some decent testing down, if you find any bugs please either report them on the forums or here. Remember that this is only alpha testing so suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Make it more different from Lode Wars. I know you haven't played the game, but the similarities between this and Lode Wars are uncanny

Yeah, it's like Lode Wars with oxygen instead of radiation.

It looks cramped up in between those tabs/windows.

Oh well, I have never played Lode Wars and from what I have heard, it is long gone due to the horrible community? Also I doubt Lode Wars is the FIRST digging game out, ever heard of DigDug? Most games out now are very similar, in all shooters you must capture some sort of flag, rescue a hostage, deathmatch, ect. So telling me to make my game pretty much totally different is like telling every person on BYOND who creates a shooter to make up a totally new game mode and game play. I doubt that I will ever remake my whole game just because people say it is similar to Lode Wars.

I dont have 4.0 but I bet its good?

Lode Wars is a mining game, not a digging game. I'm not telling you to change the whole game so quit interpreting it that way. I'm telling you to change parts of the game so that it's different from Lode Wars, yet similar. Lode Wars didn't die from a horrible community, Lode Wars died because Leftley got fed up with complaints, and so did all of the hosts.

Well, Lode Wars is gone now and all that is left is an old version of it, that is never hosted. We now have another attempt at a fun Lode Wars type game and the complaints are already starting.

The game is a bit like Lode Wars, but I think that it is alot different in many ways. Blu Bomb is alot more simple game, lode wars is alot of teams based mainly on PvP/stealing, and having good items. Blubomb is alot funner than Lode Wars, and only similiar in one way.
