Bomb Kick (set 2)

Bomb Kick (set 2) is a revised arcade action game released in 1997 by Japanese publisher Jaleco, as an updated variant of the original Bomb Kick launched the same year. Designed for casual and competitive arcade play, this title features fast-paced, top-down arena gameplay that blends action, strategy, and light puzzle elements, making it a beloved staple of late 1990s arcade halls worldwide. Unlike the original set, set 2 fixes critical gameplay bugs, adjusts the difficulty curve for more accessible early levels, adds two secret unlockable stages, and tweaks power-up spawn rates to create a more balanced experience for both new and veteran players. In the core campaign, players control a cartoonish hero navigating grid-based levels filled with roaming enemies, destructible obstacles, and bombs that detonate in cross-shaped blasts 3 seconds after being placed or kicked. Players can kick bombs across the map to take out enemy units, clear obstacles, and collect hidden power-ups that gra

Game Guide

Mastering Bomb Kick (set 2) starts with learning its core controls first: use the 4-way joystick to move your character across the grid, press the primary action button to kick bombs, the secondary button to place new bombs, and the tertiary button to activate stored power-ups. Follow these pro tips to clear all levels and unlock hidden content easily. First, prioritize speed power-ups above all other upgrades in the early game: faster movement lets you outrun roaming enemies, escape bomb blast zones quicker, and reach rare power-ups before they despawn. Next, always pay attention to bomb fuse timers: all bombs detonate exactly 3 seconds after being placed or kicked, so never stay in the same horizontal or vertical line as an active bomb for more than 2 seconds, even if you kicked it far away. When facing regular enemy waves, avoid chasing individual units: instead, lure groups of enemies into a tight cluster, place or kick a bomb at their feet, and retreat to a safe zone to take out multiple enemies at once for bonus score multipliers. For boss fights, including the level 6 Mecha Dragon boss, never place your own bombs: bosses spawn their own explosive projectiles that you can kick back to deal damage to them directly, which is far safer than risking placing your own bombs that might detonate near you before you can escape. To unlock the two secret bonus stages, collect all three hidden golden star power-ups found on levels 2, 4, and 7: you will gain access to the bonus stages after beating level 8, where you can collect unlimited power-ups and earn the game’s highest possible score rewards. If you play two-player co-op, never stand on the same horizontal or vertical line as your partner to avoid being hit by their kicked bombs, and split roles: have one player lure enemies and collect power-ups, while the other focuses on kicking bombs to clear threats.
