Rope & Bombs

Rope & Bombs is a puzzle game where pieces of rope and bombs fall from above. The player tries to connect the rope as much as possible. Every once in a while, a fire appears. The fire burns any rope connected to it. The goal is to burn as much rope as possible, as when the rope reaches the top of the screen, the game is over. Any bombs touched by fire will (you guessed it) explode, destroying any rope near it.

The game can be played on a Game Boy or Game Boy Pocket (in black-and-white, or dark-green-and-slightly-less-dark-green), on Super Game Boy (in color, and with a border image) or on the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP (in color)

The game was sold at Retrospelsfestivalen in Malmö, Sweden the 2nd of September 2017. A limited run of carts with boxes and a simple manual (a piece of A4 paper) was available for purchase. All copies have since been sold out. We currently have no plans for new production runs.
