Boomer

Play:

Full screen Touch: Drag anywhere on screen; the bucket follows your finger's exact horizontal position. · Keyboard: Mouse also moves the bucket to the cursor position; arrow keys as an alternative.

About:

A faithful homage to Atari's Kaboom: a bomber drops bombs from a rooftop wave after wave, and a bucket has to be under each one. The bucket follows a finger's live horizontal position directly, with no joystick or gesture to interpret. Part of Frank Force's LittleJS Arcade collection.

Phone check: Played on a simulated phone (390x844, touch) and desktop (mouse) via playtest.js. Zero console/page errors across all runs. Touch confirmed directly: a drag to the left edge moved the bucket precisely there, and a follow-up drag to the right moved it back correctly.

Play next:

Cave Drop Thread a tiny spelunker down an endless cavern of moving ledges. Read the gaps, commit to short falls, and stay ahead of the crush ceiling grinding down behind you.

Curve Court A first-person neon court. Bend the ball through depth with spin, wrong-foot an authored ladder of rivals, and smash the target plates on the back wall.

Moth Swarm A firefly guards a moonlit garden. Moths, wasps, beetles and great Veilmoths settle into a swaying swarm, then peel off in swooping dives. Your light fires by itself; you just have to be in the right place and alive.

Orchard Shootout Rust-cogs are crawling down on your clockwork orchard. Lead your shots, keep the chain alive and don't clip the pollinators as you hold the line through eight tightening waves.
