Super Bomb Survival is a bomb-themed disaster survival Experience created by Polyhex. The main objective in every round is to survive for two and a half minutes while various explosives and hazards rain from the sky and pop up from the ground. The game has been featured in developer-made events including 2015 Egg Hunt, 2016 Trick or Treat Countdown and 2019 Egg Hunt. During November 2–3, 2019, the game was closed and under review due to a copyright claim, and Polyhex claimed that they did not receive any warning or information about this.[1]
Gameplay[]
Players spawn in an arena-styled map. Before entering gameplay, players have the choice to vote for three different randomized maps. They can also collect coins in the lobby that drop from the ceiling. From the main menu, players could either join the main server or reconnect to a server with different styles of gameplay. Players could either join a 25-player max server, a server where all perks and skills are random at the start of a round, or join a server where the intensity is always at the max (in this instance, it is 5.0/6.0). When the game begins, many different types of bombs will drop from the sky, some more dangerous than others. As the intensity increases, bombs become more abundant and from intensity 4+, some bombs have a chance to get replaced by their more powerful counterparts (Such as a Mega Nuke). The goal is to survive two and a half minutes while bombs, missiles and other hazards rain down. Players can use different skills, perks, boosts and helpful items that provide aid to players while playing. As players play the game, they can choose to buy additional boosts, skills, and perks. Buying a skill is random for the three categories: Offence, Defense, and Movement; prices increase after every purchase. However, they can choose to buy the perk and/or boost of their choice, the cost varying on the usefulness of the item. Perks can be bought using coins or gems. Offensive skills damage nearby players (e.g. planting a simple bomb, calling a mini-nuke from the sky). The player can choose to turn PvP off in the settings to avoid being damaged by others, but that will reduce the number of survival points the player gets. They can also turn on Hardcore mode mode which decreases their health and disables skill poweerups, while getting more points. Defensive skills provide aid to the player, examples include generating a temporary forcefield and healing other players using a variety of skills that provide health to the user and another player. Movement skills improve the movement of the player (e.g. hovering in the air for a brief period, turning into a ragdoll and flying across the map). While starting the game on a fresh account, the player will already have a Movement skill unlocked: the Super Jump. After every round, the equipped skill of the user fills a progress bar; when the bar is full, the skill levels up to a cap of 3. As the skill increases its level, the skill becomes more powerful; one benefit is that the cooldown decreases.
Bombs[]
There are many different types of bombs that spawn in Super Bomb Survival. After the tier 2 update, several more bombs were added. The Intensity update introduced even more bombs that only appear in 4.0 intensity or above.
Drops[]
Drops are items dropped during the round which can be picked up by touching them.
Events[]
A large update to Super Bomb Survival brought along events that occasionally happen during rounds - to prepare for an event, the intermission before an event round lasts 35 seconds instead of 20. However, rarely, an event will occur in a 20-second intermission. They were not seen in Update 2. The tier 2 update introduced more events.
Skills[]
Super Bomb Survival allows players to select various skills to help them survive. Only one skill can be selected at any one time, and all skills can be upgraded to level 3. The tier 2 update brought along ten new skills, which can only be unlocked once all 20 other skills are unlocked.
Perks[]
On top of skills, Super Bomb Survival has several "passive skills", or perks, to choose from. Only one perk can be active at once unless players buy the Second Perk Slot Pass. Four tier 2 perks were added in the tier 2 update, and required all other perks unlocked first. Boosts can be bought at the shop using credits or gems. These boosts will be activated upon playing.
