Momo Bomber

Momo Bomber is an NES-flavoured mashup of platformer and turn-based RPG with some metroidvania elements, originally created for the 2018 IGMC game jam.

Run and jump your way through the base, avoiding traps and solving puzzles. Explore to collect new abilities, weapons, and boost stats. Use timed hits in turn-based combat to be super effective! Explode lots of robots.


With their highly sophisticated AI, superhuman abilities, and absolute obedience, androids quickly became indispensable to mankind. They were valuable tools, made to perform the most dangerous and unpleasant tasks, so that humans could enjoy safety and happiness. At least until the rebellion began...

Androids are no longer content to serve humans and the fighting has begun.

Ant-bot squad, "Looper", received intelligence pertaining to a rogue androids' stronghold, where they are rumoured to be developing a new and dangerous weapon. Looper operative, PINKLADY, attempted to secretly infiltrate the base, and has since gone missing.

You are Kaye Kennedy, codename: MOMO. You and your teammates are on a mission to destroy the androids' mysterious new weapon and discover what became of the missing agent.

Your goal in the game is to control each Area by defeating its boss (or bosses). Sometimes certain places will be unreachable until you unlock a door or gain a new ability. If a particular obstacle or enemy is too difficult, there may be an alternate route.

Your teammates will join you once an area is controlled. They'll sometimes be able to help you obtain special items by managing your account credits. Items purchased from your friends will carry over into other saves as well as new games.

If you wish to interact with a person or object, get in front of it and press the Z key. Poke at anything that looks suspicious. Flashing control panels can be examined to open doors of a matching colour. Pink control panels will reward you with stat boosts or skills.

Keep an eye on your HP in the top-left corner of the screen. If your HP runs out, it's Game Over.

In battle, most skills require you to "aim" for better effects. Time an attack correctly for more damage.

Skills are divided into two categories: Offense (attack) and Defense (protection and healing). They will generally require ammunition that can be found throughout the game. Each item is limited to a quantity of 20, so use your skills carefully. If you do run out of ammunition, you'll always have your trusty, unlimited Peach Bomb. Wearing equipment will also provide you with their own unlimited battle skills as well as a small stat boost.
