What is Bomb Crypto?
Bomb Crypto is a play-to-earn game built on the Binance Smart Chain (BCS). Bomb Crypto was released in September 2021 and is currently among the top NFT play-to-earn games on the market. Its design and basic mechanics are based on the classic Bomberman games, giving it a nostalgic, vintage feel.
Bombcrypto (BCOIN) is its native token used to purchase Bomber Heros required to play the game, and the in-game currency can be swapped on outside crypto exchanges.
Playing Bomb Crypto
You need to have 10 BCOIN in a MetaMask wallet to get started with Bomb Crypto:
- Go to Bomb Crypto's site at BombCrypto.io. You play the game through a browser.
- Log in using your MetaMask wallet.
- Purchase at least one Bomber Hero to play.
- Begin play in Treasure Hunt mode.
One Bomber Hero is required to start playing. Purchase more at the shop for a random drop, or browse the marketplace for rarer heroes with better stats to improve your gameplay.
When Bomb Crypto launched in 2021, the only available game mode was Treasure Hunt. Today, you can choose from three modes:
- Treasure Hunt — Release up to 15 Bomb Heroes on a map, where they drop bombs and destroy treasure chests to earn BCOIN. This is an idle game mode.
- Story Mode — Choose one Bomber Hero and destory monsters to progress. Killing monsters and breaking blocks offer chances of dropping BCOINs, and boss battles can earn you NFTs. You 'll need 15 heroes to play and one key mined from Treasure Hunt mode.
- Battle Mode — Battle against multiple players. This mode requires an entry fee, and the winner gets the rewards.
Treasure Hunt awards BCOIN by clearing a map
Treasure Hunt is the easiest game mode to start with, because it doesn't require active gameplay. Depending on your heroes' levels, it could take an hour or longer to clear a map on Treasure Hunt with 15 of them.
Your mission is to clear the map as quickly as possible: The more bombers you have and the better their stats, the better chance you have to clear the map and earn more BCOIN.
Earnings can be around 4 to 5 BCOIN per run or less. But earnings ultimately vary by game, and the value of BCOIN can fluctuate.
Story Mode awards BCOIN by defeating monsters and breaking blocks
Story Mode offers the chance of dropping BCOIN when you defeat a monster or break a block. To unlock this game, you must mine a key in Treasure Hunt mode – one key allows for one run in Story Mode.
You need at least 15 heroes in your account to play, but you can choose only one hero.
Battle Mode awards BCOIN by beating all players in a match
You've got to be top dog to earn in Battle Mode. Each player pays an entry fee, which serves as the winner's pot. If you win, you get the loser's tokens they paid to enter the match.
You don't need a key or a specific hero to enter, but you're more likely to win with a hero that has good stats and high rarity — which means beginners with squishy heroes may want to wait to enter this mode. Losers earn nothing, so there's more risk involved because you don't get your entry fee back if you lose.
What is Bomb Crypto's token?
Bomb Crypto's native and utility token is called Bombcrypto (BCOIN).
You can use the token to buy new heroes, trade NFTs with other players, or exchange it on third-party exchanges. BCOIN is based on the BEP-20 protocol of the Binance Smart Chain.
How to buy Bomb Crypto's token
BCOIN has a handful of trading pairs, such as BCOIN/BUSD, BCOIN/USDT and BCOIN/WBNB. BCOIN is available for trading on multiple exchanges including LBank, PancakeSwap and MEXC.
To get BCOIN, you'll need to get the correct cryptocurrency to exchange it, like BUSD, USDT or WBNB. You can sign up for a cryptocurrency exchange that has the crypto coin you want, buy it with fiat then swap the purchased cryptocurrency for BCOIN on an exchange with the trading pair.
It looks like BCOIN may not be available to purchase on an exchange in the US.
You can still purchase BCOIN by using a decentralized exchange (DEX) instead. decentralized exchanges are web applications that run on blockchains like Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and allow users to trade any asset directly with one another.
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) are unregulated and run using autonomous pieces of code known as smart contracts. To use a DEX you must interact with the blockchain directly, which is not recommended for novice users. Please learn about decentralized exchanges first if you're unfamiliar.
How to purchase BCOIN using a decentralized exchange.
- Find BCOIN on a decentralized exchange and make sure BCOIN can be traded for BNB which is the native asset of Binance. The most popular DEX on Binance Smart Chain is PancakeSwap.
- Buy BNB to trade for BCOIN using an exchange like Crypto.com. You will need to purchase enough BNB to swap for BCOIN as well as BNB to pay for transaction fees (known as gas) on the BSC network, which usually costs less than a dollar.
- Transfer the BNB into a a web 3.0 wallet like MetaMask to connect to the DEX.
- Trade BNB for BCOIN on PancakeSwap, following the instructions on screen. Make sure to leave enough BNB in your wallet to pay for gas.
- Wait for the transaction to finalize and the BCOIN tokens will arrive in your wallet.
- You may now keep the tokens in your web 3.0 wallet or transfer them somewhere more secure like a hardware wallet.
You can follow the same process when you want to sell your tokens, or come back to this page to see if they can now be traded on an exchange in the US.
If you haven't yet used your MetaMask wallet for cryptocurrency, rely on the four steps in Bomb Crypto's YouTube tutorial to get BCOIN into your wallet.
How does play-to-earn work with Bomb Crypto?
How much you earn depends on how often you play and the mode you select. With Bomb Crypto, the number and stats of the NFT Bomber Heroes you purchase dictate how well you can do within gameplay. You can also have multiple accounts.
Earning methods include:
- Trading heroes on the market. You can buy and sell heroes using the Bomb Crypto marketplace.
- Earn passively with Treasure Hunt. Treasure Hunt is a mode you turn on and can walk away from while your heroes work to clear the map.
- Story mode. You can play this mode with 15 heroes, and you can earn BCOIN by destroying monsters and progressing.
- PvP to earn. Battle Mode lets you battle other players, and if you win, you earn the pot that's built up with entry fees.
According to Bomb Crypto's FAQ, you can claim your earnings when you've mined at least 40 BCOIN, and there's a 3% withdrawal fee. However, other players report that you can claim your earnings when you have at least 1 BCOIN.
What are Bomb Crypto's NFTs?
The Bomber Heroes and Staff houses are the game's NFTs.
Bomber Heroes have six different rarities. The rarer your hero, the better stats they're likely to have, and the more successful your gameplay.
| Common | 80% |
| Rare | 10% |
| Super Rare | 5% |
| Epic | 1% |
| Legend | 0.5% |
| Super Legend | 0.04% |
Legend and Super Legend NFTs are hard to get but are the best of the best.
There are no hero classes, such as knight or wizard, as their appearances would suggest. However, Bomber Heroes also have stats that are randomly generated:
- Power of bomb
- Bomb range
- Stamina
- Speed
- Number of bombs that can be dropped
- Random special ability
After using your NFT Heroes in any game mode, they need to rest and restore. How long they must rest depends on their level and the energy they expended. The better the hero, the more rest it needs before it's fully healed.
Heroes restore energy at a rate of 0.5 energy per minute. The more stamina a Bomber Hero has, the longer it takes to completely heal (1 stamina = 50 energy).
Bomber Heroes restore energy as long as they're active, but you can buy an NFT staff house that speeds up healing time by four times. You don't need a house to play, but if you're aiming to be a daily player, buying a house could be worth the money. A Tiny House costs 720 BCOIN, and a Super Villa costs 21,600 BCOIN.
Bomb Crypto limits the number of available houses to 5,000. More than 4,000 houses have been purchased at the time of writing.
You can upgrade your house to heal more NFTs too. An update slated for 2022 is expected to allow for decorations, but right now houses are just for faster healing times.
How to buy NFTs on Bomb Crypto
Get NFT Bomber Heroes with BCOIN, through auctions or with gameplay:
- The shop — buy one hero for 10 BCOIN. The hero that you get is random, but odds are it's a common rarity due to drop rates.
- The marketplace — browse auctions and purchase NFTs.
- Treasure Hunt mode — you have a chance of encountering a trapped Rescue Hero. Your heroes on the map have a limited time to free the hero – and if they do, you get to keep the hero.
You can have up to 50 active Bomber Heroes at a time, though you're allowed up to 500 Bomber Heros total on your account. Inactive Heroes do not restore health.

- House decorations
- VIP and staking
- New story mode level

Bottom line
Compared to other idle play-to-earn NFT games on the market, Bomb Crypto is among the cheaper ones.
You need only one hero to start playing. And unless you enter Battle Mode, modes are relatively low risk.
Getting 15 NFT heroes can run you at least $150 right now. Compare that to Axie Infinity, which costs $1,000 to $1,200 for three lower-tier NFTs.
If you enjoy idle games, Bomb Crypto could earn you passive cash. It's easy to start playing with a MetaMask wallet, and you can sell varied NFTs on the marketplace.
