Through some unrevealed circumstances, you've entered into an odd but very dangerous competition. You and the competitors must navigate an arena while one of you is burdened with a bomb for a head.

It's an explosive competition that will leave many folks with a massive headache.

About Bomb Head Hot Potato

Some of the most enjoyable games take the simplest rules or classic scenarios and add just one twist to them. This game combines Tag and Hot Potato into an explosive frenzy where only the fastest and most determined survive. Survival may be at the top of reasons to not get exploded, but there are also cash prizes to be won by those willing to endure and take risks. Just be careful not to get too carried away since the bomb carrier will do anything to not explode, and should the new one get passed to you, be ready to haul blast.

How to Play

Bomb Head Hot Potato is a 3D isometric competitive game in which players try to pass a bomb around using the mouse and keyboard.

Controls

Left Mouse Button - Throw Bomb
W/Up Arrow - Move Up
S/Down Arrow - Move Down
A/Left Arrow - Move Left
D/Right Arrow - Move Right

The goal is to be the last one standing in each round. The only stat you need to worry about is whether or not you have the bomb on your head. The timer at the top will indicate how much time it takes before the current bomb explodes, and the counter to the left tracks how many competitors are left. If you get exploded at any time, you'll lose the round.

The main menu allows you to spend cash to upgrade your speed and your earnings and to buy new cosmetics for your character. When you're ready, you can continue on the current round with your progress tracked at the center. When the round starts, you and the other competitors will be arranged in the center of the arena. A random spin will pick who starts with the bomb, and a brief counter will give the others a head start. If you don't have the bomb, you simply need to run away from the bomb carrier, collecting any loose cash if you choose. If you do have the bomb, you must get in range of another competitor and pass it on to them. When the bomb explodes, a new bomb will be randomly assigned to one of the remaining competitors. Be the last one standing to win.

Tips and Tricks

It's all about movement and using the environment as best as you can. Upgrade your speed as much and as early on as possible to make it easier to stay safe. Use obstacles and the environment to create distance from the bomb carrier. When you have the bomb, try to herd runners into corners and toss the bomb as they try to get past you.
