Tiny Bomber

Tiny Bomber is a 2D vertically scrolling action game that combines roguelike structure with bullet-hell shooting. Players pilot one of several different aircraft through procedurally generated levels, avoiding dense bullet patterns and destroying enemies. Each run is a separate attempt, with the aim of beating a previous distance record and eventually reaching and defeating the Final Boss.

Every run is governed by a countdown timer. Coins found across the map add time to the clock, so collecting them is necessary to keep a run going. Coins can also be spent to adjust the spawn rates of elements on the map, letting players influence what appears in front of them. Performing a dodge-roll to avoid incoming fire at the right moment triggers a buff specific to the aircraft being flown. During a run, random upgrades and growth elements are gathered to strengthen the aircraft, and certain upgrades interact with one another to form combined effects.

When a boss is defeated it does not simply disappear; it returns as a support drone that accompanies the player for the rest of the run. The game supports two-player co-op alongside single-player. It is presented in pixel art with 8-bit style music.
