About Kaboom Swing
Kaboom Swing is a pixel-art platformer dressed up as a golf course. You roll a small bomb toward a flag, and when the course gets in the way, you blow yourself into the air.
Rolling is the easy part. Holding Space makes the bomb explode and jump, which is how you clear gaps and get around spikes. The setting is explosive golf, and the game's idea of fun is to avoid spikes, destroy everything and still make it to the flag.
It was made in ten days for a game jam with the theme Destroy everything. You can play Kaboom Swing online in your browser, and Kaboom Swing free of any download makes it a quick, noisy way to spend a few minutes.
How to Play Kaboom Swing
- Roll with WASD or the arrow keys.
- Hold Space to explode and jump.
- Aim for the flag at the end of each course.
- Stay clear of spikes.
- Press R to reset when a try goes wrong.
What to Expect in Kaboom Swing
It plays like a physics toy with a goal. You line up a roll, hold the jump, and watch the bomb launch. Some tries look great and some end in a spike, and either way the retry is a button away.
The tone is cheerful and explosive, with chunky 8-bit sound effects and a tidy pixel look. If you like short courses where one good blast beats careful planning, this is a good fit.
Tips for Kaboom Swing
- Hold Space for the blast and jump instead of tapping around. Get used to how it feels.
- Line up the roll before you explode. A bad angle wastes the blast.
- Look at the landing spot for spikes before you jump, and not only at where you start.
- Press R without guilt. Resetting is quick, so use it.
- Take a second to look at the whole course before you start rolling.
