Experience the fun of saving various houses in the world of BOMBARIKA. The game starts with a Classic Bomb, which randomly drops in one particular place in the house. Most of the objects come alive in the game to help save the house from the destruction (while the humans are oblivious). Every object has different characteristics, such as pushing and blocking. Using these objects looks easy, but finding the exit in little time makes the game challenging. A variety of bombs and power-ups can be unlocked by RIKAS (collectibles) in the shop. Duplex houses, hidden rooms, multiple bombs in a single level, bonus levels, and many more fun things can be experienced in the higher levels. Simple, minimalist levels will bring happiness, joy, and calm when playing BOMBARIKA.
The artwork is a mixture of modern and retro architectural styles, complemented by well-crafted household objects, smooth gameplay, and a simple environment with stunning geometric structures. Immerse yourself in unique, melodious music and interactive soundscapes. Relaxing original music was tailored perfectly for the difficulty of the levels.
