Note: BOOM: Remake shares most of its codebase with Lifish and, like it, it is free software. However, as most of the code is there, I figured in the meantime I could work on a mod that, changing a bit of gameplay logic and borrowing assets from the original game, could effectively become a faithful remake of BOOM! So there it is, a game as close to the original Factor Software’s BOOM, playable on Windows, Mac and Linux completely for free! But alas, making a game is hard and takes a lot of time, so Lifish still isn’t complete yet.

That project would eventually become Lifish. Maybe, if it weren’t for that game, I wouldn’t be developing games at all nowadays.įor this reason, in 2015 I decided to start working on a complete remake for the game. I played BOOM a lot, since when I was a kid, and it is the game that made me venture on the game developing path. Unfortunately, the game’s original site is not accessible anymore, so BOOM can only be downloaded from archives found on the Internet. The game’s slogan was “Bomberman meets DOOM”: you could play solo or in local coop throughout 80 levels, facing a plethora of different enemies, intermediate bosses and a final Big Alien Boss. This page hosts a free fan-remade version of the game BOOM.īOOM was a shareware game for MacOS created by Federico Filipponi (FactorSoftware) in the ’90s.
