App: BombSquad
Developer: Eric Froemling
Genres: Games, Action, Casual

Grab some friends, your Mac, a few gamepads or iPhones, and get your party-game on!

   Challenge your friends or the computer to a plethora of mini-games including Capture-the-Flag, King-of-the-Hill, Bomber-Hockey, and of course Epic-Slow-Motion-Elimination.

   Laugh gleefully as you land a perfectly-thrown sticky-bomb squarely on an opponent's face, freeze them with an ice bomb and shatter them to bits with a punch, or just pick them up and toss them off a nearby cliff.  BombSquad's rag doll physics based gameplay ensures that every confrontation leads to a unique (and often hilarious) outcome.

Up to 8 players can get in on the action on a single Mac through BombSquad's support of keyboards, USB gamepads, Wiimotes, PS3 controllers, and XBox 360 controllers.  You can even use iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads as controllers via 'BombSquad Remote', a free app available on the iOS App Store.

Bombs Away!
