Steam
Boom Buddies is a fast-paced, fixed-position bullet hell survival game focused on pure action and replayability.
You have an animal hero locked at the center of the arena while enemies rush in from all directions. Survival depends on smart choices and right upgrades.
After clearing waves, you select upgrade cards that modify and enhance your weapon in powerful and sometimes unexpected ways. Each run becomes a new build, pushing you to experiment and survive longer.
As you progress, you unlock new animal characters, each starting with a different weapon and playstyle, encouraging fresh strategies and repeated runs.

Your goal is simple: eliminate as many enemies as possible before you fall. Your kill count determines your place on the global leaderboard, where every run is a chance to climb higher.
Boom Buddies is easy to pick up, challenging to master, and built for players who enjoy short, intense sessions with endless replay value.
