BoomBots is a fighting video game released in 1999 for PlayStation. It was created by Doug TenNapel, best known as the creator of Earthworm Jim, and it was developed by The Neverhood Inc. and DreamWorks Interactive. Moreover, it was published by SouthPeak Games. Like other games developed by The Neverhood Inc., (The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys), BoomBots features distinctive claymation visuals and various amounts of toilet humor. The game was both a critical and commercial failure.
BoomBots is a 3D arena fighting game in which the player has the choice of ten characters (boombots) for either single player or multiplayer.
In single player, the objective is to beat recolors of the ten boombots (which includes a recolor of the player's boombot if they aren't a secret boombot) to progress through the story and win the game. If the player remains undefeated, they get to fight recolors of secret boombots in secret stages during the story, unlocking those boombots and stages upon victory. In total, the game features 15 boombots along with 15 stages.
